Chair Allen said as she understands, Barone's restaurant and the Shell gas station will be on Map A; which will change the General Plan, the DSP and any zoning to say it can be mixed-use, and those changes will get made in advance of any PUD going forward. Commissioner Brown said to be specific, he referred to the DSP, General Plan and zoning including the residential overlay and said when the City Council ultimately approves the Final DSP, he asked if the zoning has changed or would that wait until a PUD is proposed. Mr. Beaudin said the General Plan itself can remain as is, because it allows for a range of uses already for the Barone's restaurant site particularly, and the goal is to have the General Plan and zoning, the specific plan itself, speak to the wider range of uses. This change would occur concurrently with the plan update. He said the point made by Commissioner Brown is entirely correct; there would be a PUD application that would be required, which is a legislative change, and there would have to be another level of environmental review to ensure technicalities are addressed for that specific site and the project before the City at that time. He clarified the list of options are within in the DSP. Commissioner Brown clarified that Mr. Beaudin is stating that the residential overlay, at that point, would already be approved and be in alignment across the plans. Mr. Beaudin said he was going to bring the conversation back to the environmental process, because the current discussion is moving more towards a policy conversation. He continued to say that from an environmental review perspective, the idea of a commercial site or residential project, staff has taken an initial look and it is a lower impact relative to traffic, if it does shift to a residential use. Therefore, creating the list of options does not create more complexity from an environmental review perspective. Regarding the comment from the speaker earlier regarding underground storage tanks, there are standard mitigations that exist for those transitions and plans required to ensure the soils and other contamination issues are addressed. Staff would ensure all of this analysis is done. The same issue with a PUD and there would be further discussion with the community as to whether the project is appropriate and additional environmental review at that time. Again, he stressed that this is a healthy policy discussion on the horizon as to whether those sites are in or out. From an environmental perspective, staff is comfortable that the document allows that policy conversation to take place. Commissioner Ritter lastly said his biggest issue is to make sure the environmental report is not overly restrictive in its analysis, where if the whole City was wiped out by a natural disaster, the roads and buildings could be rebuilt. He wants to be sure they are encompassing the big picture where they can put a garage underneath and two units above so they are not over-restricting their analysis. Other than that, Commissioner Ritter said he thinks the DSP came up with some good recommendations at the last meeting and he endorsed most of those. Mr. Beaudin confirmed that a motion was not needed and he thanked the Commission for their comments.
