illustrative diagrams, including some that reflect dimensional standards where the professional services team recommends it is important to do so. In addition to correction of minor typographical and pagination errors, in response to comments from some of the mall owners at the January 11 meeting, staff has included additional text in the preface to, Section D: Design and Placemaking Elements. This text clarifies that where specific dimensional standards are listed, they are intended to reflect a set of preferred or recommended dimension(s), with the acknowledgement that final standards will be established based on more detailed planning and site-specific studies for Stoneridge, and may be modified from those shown provided that the overall design and placemaking intent of the Framework is determined to have been met. The intent of this provision is to express that site-specific conditions, project feasibility, and other aspects remain to be more fully studied, and thus some flexibility for future adjustments to standards should be allowed for, while making a clear statement of the City's design expectations and defining standards for the interim period before more detailed planning is complete. Three accompanying figures in an appendix illustrate overall site concepts, including existing parcelization, circulation and open space concepts, and housing allocations. Minor changes to these figures have been made to show the correct location of one of the housing allocations, and to correct a data table.

CONCLUSION The Stoneridge Mall Framework is intended to provide guidance for the future of Stoneridge Mall as it transitions from solely a commercial use to a mixed-use center that incorporates a variety of uses, including residential. With the anticipated adoption of the 2023-2031 (6t" Cycle) Housing Element, the Framework identifies the allocation of housing units among the four ownership entities and provides both policy objectives and design guidance for future development, with the intent of refining these features in a subsequent effort.
