emphasis on an active street frontage, which is within the DSP and the current regulations. As the Task Force process has proceeded, there's been discussion regarding whether to have ground floor residential, which consequently was removed, but added back following the February 27 Task Force meeting. Therefore, the number of units relative to the ultimate build-out of downtown, in regard to the zoning and how the EIR was drafted, would account for infill throughout the downtown over a 20-year period. The EIR would anticipate this infill occurring in various places across the downtown, but not on every parcel. Given Chair Allen's comments, staff will compare them to their assumptions to see how things align. Commissioner Brown said he believes there was an envelope in terms of expected units but they didn't specify whether it would occur on Main Street versus another street. He confirmed that staff will refer back to the planning assumptions around the envelope that they created the Draft EIR against to determine if it requires any modification based on those changes, which is a fair request by Commissioner Allen. He referred to Barone's restaurant and the Shell gas station and thinks the speaker's comment is valid, but at the same time, the proposal as part of Map B was that the General Plan would be amended to show that it is envisioned that it could transition to either mixed-use or residential in the future, but they are not actually changing the zoning; therefore a zoning change would require the Planning Commission to go through the Planned Unit Development (PUD) process. He concluded that in terms of the EIR, when creating a PUD, it would include abating and changing a Shell gas station, which would be addressed at that time. Chair Allen asked staff to clarify Commissioner Brown's last comment; she said his assumption was that Barone's restaurant and the gas station would not be changed until it went through a PUD process. Commissioner Brown clarified it was not the zoning but a discussion that the General Plan would change to reflect that it is envisioned as part of the 20-year plan; it could transition at a later date from commercial to mixed-use. Mr. Beaudin said their goal is to make Map A changes with the adoption of the date of the plan as it moves through the public process. Map B would be a subsequent effort, and, in some cases, the General Plan needs to be modified. In most cases, it is the zoning and Specific Plan designations that need to be addressed to align with their DSP efforts. Therefore, the intent behind the Barone's restaurant and the Shell gas station conversation was that they would create a residential overlay for those project sites, and it would create the opportunity of a wider range of uses that would be considered at the time a formal application moves forward. Mr. Beaudin continued by stating that the General Plan, the zoning and the DSP would all create the list of options and then the applicant would come forward with their PUD. There would be project specific environmental review or at the very least, technical studies, that would have to supplement the analysis at a program level for these sites and likely for others in the downtown when it's decided to move forward. He gave another example that if it's decided to move forward with redevelopment of the Civic Center site, there's anticipation that the envelope, location of the driveways, number of trips, location of the parking structure, hotel, etc. will require more analysis and details, especially around traffic.
