EIR. He noted that a couple of meetings ago, the Task Force amended the alternatives <br />to be considered in the EIR and wants to just make sure the Council is on board with <br />that list of alternatives. <br />Mr. Dolan stated that once the alternatives are final, the EIR can be completed and then <br />have some more public outreach, after which it will come back to the Task Force with <br />the information from the completed EIR and the input from our additional public <br />outreach. He added that the Task Force will then make a final recommendation and <br />forward it to the Planning Commission. He indicated that the Commission will probably <br />start with a Work Session and work towards a recommendation to the City Council in <br />the of 2015. <br />Chair O'Connor thanked Mr. Dolan for his clarifications. He pointed out that there have <br />been a lot of tossing around of these numbers, both in the newspapers as well as <br />verbally, and some of them are not always accurate. He then inquired if he heard <br />correctly that there are ten alternatives and if there is any one that would consider a <br />higher density, or if the higher density has been removed from every alternative. <br />Commissioner Ritter replied that the alternatives went from nothing to everything and <br />that there are ones that preserve the existing conditions. <br />Mr. Dolan stated that the 1,759 -unit and the 1,430 -unit alternatives still includes <br />multi - family residential. <br />Chair O'Connor thanked staff for all their work over this past year and noted that some <br />of the staff have been with the City for less than a year. <br />Commissioner Ritter thanked Chair O'Connor, the most senior Commissioner, for being <br />a great inspiration to the rest of the Commissioners and for coaching them through the <br />process. He added that he was honored that Chair O'Connor will continue to be on the <br />Commission. <br />Commissioners Allen and Piper thanked Chair O'Connor as well. <br />Chair O'Connor thanked the Commissioners. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />Chair O'Connor adjourned the Planning Commission Meeting at 7:27 p.m. <br />Respectfully, <br />ADAM WEINSTEIN <br />Secretary <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, December 10, 2014 Page 7 of 7 <br />
