Commissioner O'Connor noted that one benefits the Hacienda Business Park and the other benefits the rest of the City. Mr. Dolan replied that although both of them would benefit the business community, Mr. Paxson is also on the Economic Vitality Committee and thinks about things more globally; while the Zoning Code extends beyond the Business Park, the Park is the City's economic engine. Commissioner O'Connor inquired if the Commission would be doing itself an injustice ii it put forward two items instead of just one. He noted that the two are inter - related which would streamline the process as well as relieve confusion with business development. Mr. Dolan replied that if those were the two items, the Commission would be fine. Chair Allen stated that there were two other items that excited her when she read the original list: the first is the Civic Center Master Plan, which essentially is all about developing a plan that talks about what to do with City buildings Downtown and the potential of moving City Hall somewhere else, one of them being the Bernal Park. She noted that this would free up valuable Downtown prime space which could potentially attract businesses and retailers and create an even more vibrant, retail- oriented Downtown. She added that, assuming this land is more valuable than Bernal Park, the City might be able to not just cover the cost for the new development but also maybe make more money by selling this land. She indicated that she worries a lot about Downtown vibrancy and retail, and thinks having this area built up more could really be a move. Commissioner O'Connor stated that his only concern with this is that building a new City Hall has been going on for years and asked if the City knows where it wants to move its headquarters to. He noted that there was a lot of talk about the San Francisco property, but San Francisco has not been so cooperative, so then Bernal Park was considered. Mr. Dolan replied that all of those options are on the table, and the momentum is going: the Council is creating a Task Force and there will be recommendations coming out of it. He stated that both of the possibilities Commissioner O'Connor discussed are very reasonable and in play. He noted, however, that using Bernal Park would have to go to the voters because the voter - approved Land Use Plan did not include a Civic Center, but it is a big deal that will cost a lot of money, and is probably a good idea anyway. Commissioner O'Connor stated that he was wondering if it is premature to prioritize something like this if the City does not really know where it wants to go. He added that the City cannot create a plan if it does not know what acreage it is going to be on, and asked if the momentum is going because a Task Force is being created. He inquired if the City would really rather be on the San Francisco property and just refurbish the library. He further inquired if all of the City services, including the library, would fit on that one piece of property. Mr. Dolan said no. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, February 11, 2015 Page 13 of 17
