WORK SESSION AND DIRECTION <br /> Staff requests input and direction from the Planning Commission and City Council <br /> regarding these conceptual development scenarios, toward identifying a preferred <br /> scenario between scattered and clustered housing allocation. The Planning <br /> Commission and City Council could also opt to combine elements or to modify some of <br /> the "common" elements of the scenarios (e.g., configuration of the open space, <br /> inclusion of a hotel and/or grocery store). <br /> The preferred conceptual scenario will be used to inform the Housing Element toward <br /> assigning housing units among the parcels. To help facilitate the discussion among the <br /> Planning Commission and City Council, staff is providing suggested discussion <br /> questions below. <br /> Discussion Question 1: Does the Planning Commission and the City Council agree with <br /> potential uses being contemplated? <br /> Discussion Question 2: Which overall concept reflected in the conceptual development <br /> scenarios does the Planning Commission and the City Council <br /> prefer? (The Planning Commission and City Council could also <br /> opt to combine elements of the concepts (i.e., they are not <br /> necessarily an "either/or"). <br /> Discussion Question 3: Should the maximum number of units (total of 1,440) at the <br /> mall be inclusive of the number of units a site may obtain by <br /> utilizing the State Density Bonus, or should the units that could <br /> be attained with a State Density Bonus be in addition to the <br /> 1,440 units? <br /> Discussion Question 4: Does the Planning Commission and the City Council have any <br /> feedback on the guiding principles, or "common <br /> themes/elements" of the conceptual development scenarios, as <br /> outlined in this report? <br /> Discussion Question 5: Does the Planning Commission and the City Council have any <br /> other feedback that it would like incorporated into a revised <br /> conceptual scenario, with the intent that the revised housing <br /> allocation would be reflected into the Housing Element planned <br /> for adoption in January 2023? <br /> Next Steps <br /> At a minimum, the key Framework elements approved by City Council at the end of <br /> January will determine the allocation of housing among the various sites, and the <br /> density ranges at which that housing may be developed. It is also expected that guiding <br /> principles and/or policies for development, along with major placemaking concepts (e.g., <br /> circulation and open space elements) will be established. <br /> Page 16 of 17 <br />
