<br />In response to an inquiry by Acting Chairperson Fox regarding what would happen ifno building <br />permits were pulled and the land was sold in five years, Mr. Pavan replied that if no permits were <br />pulled within a year, the approvals would expire. The Code allows for design review approvals <br />two one-year extensions, for a total of three years. <br /> <br />Commissioner O'Connor proposed an amendment to condition a parking analysis for any <br />parking intensive uses with zoning certificate and/or business license applications to ensure <br />that there was adequate parking to accommodate future uses. <br /> <br />Ms. Decker noted that was a current planning practice to accommodate more parking for <br />intensive uses. <br /> <br />Commissioner O'Connor wished to address further traffic mitigation on Valley Avenue. <br /> <br />Commissioner Blank inquired whether additional traffic mitigation fees could be required if the <br />traffic mitigation measures did not work. Ms. Decker replied that would not be possible and that <br />mitigations would be based on the current traffic analyses. <br /> <br />Ms. Harryman noted that this addressed a nexus between the money the City could exact from <br />the project based on the traffic study and that it was not subject to negotiation. <br /> <br />Commissioner Olson inquired whether the Planning Commission could strongly recommend to <br />the City Council that they direct some of the funds exacted from this project to specifically <br />address mitigations on Valley Avenue. Ms. Decker confirmed that would be possible. <br /> <br />Commissioner Olson recommended that this be added to the conditions. <br /> <br />In response to an inquiry by Acting Chairperson Fox regarding whether any off-site <br />improvements could be placed on the developer, Ms. Decker did not believe there were any <br />target areas that had not been enumerated for consideration of mitigation as related to the project. <br /> <br />THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS RE-OPENED. <br /> <br />Mr. Coda inquired whether Commissioner Pearce intended to recommend the adoption of the <br />peer review architectural items that staff did not recommend. Commissioner Pearce replied that <br />was her intention. <br /> <br />THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. <br /> <br />EXCERPTS: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, December 13, 2006 <br /> <br />Page 15of16 <br />
