Commissioner Balch then referenced the newly circulated Final Supplemental Environmental <br /> Impact Report (FSEIR) document and the recent approval received by Caltrans, which <br /> appeases the public's concerns. <br /> Commissioner Brown commented that previously the Commission had discussed, at length, <br /> the traffic impact and analysis in addition to other items and that due diligence has been given <br /> to the project and the process in reviewing all associated concerns. <br /> Commissioner Pace mentioned his newness to the project and the research he conducted to <br /> achieve a better understanding of the documents and the model. He feels this is an important <br /> decision for the City to make, along with both benefits and impacts to local businesses. It is <br /> important to have services for the community and that also allows them to benefit from them, <br /> given on-line shopping trends. He tried to find areas where there is a gap but could not and <br /> said the modeling for the area seems appropriate. <br /> Chair Allen expressed she has spent ample time reviewing the documents, especially as it <br /> pertains to air quality concerns and traffic impacts. She expressed that staff has been <br /> thoughtful in thinking through the alternatives and impacts that would be posed by the project. <br /> She thinks it is an important project, keeps business here and hopefully minimizes some of the <br /> opportunities for Amazon. The Commission has reviewed downsides and has done as much <br /> as they can to mitigate any potential issues satisfactorily and noted the project is widely <br /> supported by the community. <br /> Commissioner Ritter referenced how substantial the timeline for the project has been and he <br /> did not think there was a more vetted project than this. <br /> Commissioner Ritter moved to recommend approval of the Final Supplemental <br /> Environmental Impact Report (FSEIR), General Plan Amendment, and the Planned Unit <br /> Development (PUD) Rezoning under Cases P14-0852 and PUD-105. <br /> Commissioner Balch seconded the motion. <br /> ROLL CALL VOTE: <br /> AYES: Commissioners Allen, Balch, Brown, Pace and Ritter <br /> NOES: None <br /> ABSENT: Commissioner O'Connor <br /> Resolutions PC-2019-28, PC-2019-29, and PC-2019-30 approving Cases P14-0852 and PUD- <br /> 105 were adopted, as motioned. <br /> MATTERS FOR COMMISSION'S REVIEW/ACTION/INFORMATION <br /> Ms. Clark entered the Council Chamber and rejoined the meeting. <br /> 6.
