Chair Allen asked Adam Weinstein for a quick update on the status of the Johnson Drive Economic Development Zone project process for the benefit of those in the public who may not be aware of it. Mr. Weinstein stated that the two speakers brought up several points regarding the Johnson Drive Economic Development Zone that are actually related to some tasks that are being undertaken right now, one of which is a comprehensive economic study that will look at a variety of economic and fiscal impacts of the project but will focus on the potential impacts of the Johnson Drive Economic Development Zone on small businesses and retail leakage. He indicated that the comment period for the Draft Supplemental EIR review period concluded at the end of November, and staff and the EIR consultant is now working hard on the Response to Comments document, compiling all public and agency comments on the project into one big document, responding to each of the comments, and then publishing it. He continued that looking ahead to 2016, the City will hold a Joint City Council /Planning Commission Workshop on the project where the public can again come and express their opinions on the project, as well as hear from the Planning Commission and the City Council. Chair Allen noted that there is a lot of work underway and a lot of chances for continued public input on this project. 4.
