PUBLIC NOTICE AND COMMENTS Notice of this meeting and public hearing was sent to surrounding property owners and tenants within a 1,000-foot radius of the site, all property owners and tenants within the Val Vista, Stoneridge, and North Muirwood neighborhoods, and to all interested parties that have contacted staff directly at the various community meetings/public hearings and/or by email/phone. Staff has provided the location and noticing maps as Attachment 9 for reference. At the time this report was published, staff had not received any new public comments regarding the project. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION The JDEDZ involves changing the General Plan land use designations and zoning designed to spur investment in 40 acres of mostly underutilized land. The JDEDZ is consistent with several General Plan policies listed in this report that promote economic development in the City and diversifying the City's commercial sector. In addition, the JDEDZ has undergone substantial public vetting, resulting in the project presented in this report. As proposed, staff believes the stated goals and objectives within this report will be achieved and believes the expanded range of proposed uses will enhance the development potential and economic vitality for the parcels within the project area, while also adequately protecting existing uses that wish to remain and continue to operate unchanged. Staff believes adequate CEQA analysis has been conducted to identify and mitigate any potentially significant impacts. Additionally, the Economic Vitality Committee and Planning Commission have indicated their support for the project as proposed. Therefore, staff believes the RFSEIR should be certified and the General Plan Amendment and PUD Rezoning merit a favorable determination from the City Council.
