Chair Brown asked if the Commission had input on comments related to the public comments received from Ms. Combs. He then inquired whether the Commission had any thoughts related to rezoning and stated he felt strongly about vacant lots. He noted correspondence he had received suggesting priority for sites with existing General Plan designations for housing. Ms. Clark stated the majority of sites would likely require a General Plan amendment or rezoning of sites, so this may not be a useful criterion. Commissioner Allen moved to recommend approval of the draft housing selection criteria with modifications including: (1) Item 2, to add an additional point and category related to the distance from BART to include one-third mile, one-half mile and three- quarters mile; (2) Item 4e would bundle the four natural hazard items into one point and if the property does not have any of those hazards it would receive one point; (3) Item 7, change category name and add Item b, related to one point if a parcel is vacant or underutilized; (4) adding to Housing Commission recommendations to include: a) adding one point to being on a recycled water pipe line, b) procedurally, the Director of Community Development will work with PUSD to ensure appropriate method for determining over enrollment that extends over a single year, and c) Director of Community Development and staff will provide definition related to what was currently defined as `significant tree removal' Commissioner Nibert seconded the motion.
