Commissioner Balch then referenced the newly circulated Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (FSEIR) document and the recent approval received by Caltrans, which appeases the public's concerns. Commissioner Brown commented that previously the Commission had discussed, at length, the traffic impact and analysis in addition to other items and that due diligence has been given to the project and the process in reviewing all associated concerns. Commissioner Pace mentioned his newness to the project and the research he conducted to achieve a better understanding of the documents and the model. He feels this is an important decision for the City to make, along with both benefits and impacts to local businesses. It is important to have services for the community and that also allows them to benefit from them, given on-line shopping trends. He tried to find areas where there is a gap but could not and said the modeling for the area seems appropriate. Chair Allen expressed she has spent ample time reviewing the documents, especially as it pertains to air quality concerns and traffic impacts. She expressed that staff has been thoughtful in thinking through the alternatives and impacts that would be posed by the project. She thinks it is an important project, keeps business here and hopefully minimizes some of the opportunities for Amazon. The Commission has reviewed downsides and has done as much as they can to mitigate any potential issues satisfactorily and noted the project is widely supported by the community. Commissioner Ritter referenced how substantial the timeline for the project has been and he did not think there was a more vetted project than this. Commissioner Ritter moved to recommend approval of the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (FSEIR), General Plan Amendment, and the Planned Unit Development (PUD) Rezoning under Cases P14-0852 and PUD-105.
