Commissioner Cooper inquired if the Commission would like to see the finalized CC&Rs at the time of final map approval. He thought the Commission might want to review the CC&Rs as part of the "package" when they review a development's street widths, landscaping, etc. Mr. Higdon advised this topic should be held until Mr. Beougher is present since he has responsibility to review all CC&Rs. Commissioner Lutz noted that the Wall Street Journal commented that gas powered leaf blowers will be banned in Los Angeles residential areas. Commissioner McGuirk asked about the street gate application brought forward by Eric Finn. Staff advised that this will be heard at the next meeting; Ponderosa will be heard at the next meeting as well. Mr. Iserson advised that the applicant is refining Plan 1 and Mr. Wiemken is refining his Plan 4. Commissioner McGuirk also clarified that it sounded as though the City Council would not impose a moratorium on building in Hacienda with regard to the West Las Positas interchange study. Recording Secretary Terri Czapinski responded to Commissioner McGuirk's question as to the status of the West Las Positas working group. She stated that at the next meeting on January 23rd, Mr. Homolka will present a draft report for review and comment by the working group. This report, when finalized, will be the basis for the Citizens Advisory Committee to begin their study. Further, the Committee will be formed through an application process and appointment by the City Council. The Commission then discussed whether or not they should become involved in this study and whether or not they would have a conflict of interest. The general thought was that the Commissioners would have no conflict of interest in this project. Chair Barker inquired if the Council discussed the fee waiver for affordable housing. This was not known. With respect to the Commission making comments on parking fees, Chair Barker feels the Commission should get involved in this discussion because the Affordable Housing Commission got very involved in the affordable housing fees, rebate of park fees and rebate of fees collected for City inspections. Chair Barker also advised that the Affordable Housing Commission would like one of their members to become a voting member of the Planning Commission. After discussion, this would only come about through a Code amendment by the Council. Chair Barker stated the Affordable Housing Commission asked staff to look into the matter. Chair Barker feels that no one should sit on two commissions. Chair Barker advised Mr. Higdon that there is a petition circulating regarding the landscaping on Vineyard. Mr. Higdon advised that bids will be received next week, the landscape plans are done, and the project should be done in April. 8. MATTERS FOR COMMISSION'S REVIEW a. Future Planninl!
