Martin Inderbltzen, 62 West Neal Street, campllmented Statt on the report, especially the section relating to the San Francisco project. He noted the purpose of a Specific Plan and said that there must be consistency with City policies. It was suggested that a proposal to limit residential development is unadvisabie for several reasons, including the tact that it limits development options for the City. Restrictk~ns on the San Francisco property are redundant and will only impact that specific lion, not the total nunbers. Some negative aspects of growth limitation on ~ti~e San Francisco parcel were hNgl-ligi-ted. One issue raised in the staff apart that deserves eprplaa312t~ is thit phasing of development, which is a res~lctten on d-, is more app~epriate for the Specific Plan rather than the General Plan.

Dale Mottett, representing The Northern Group, expressed concern over his sizeable investment to Piessae-ton. His pro)ect is in ,yeopardy unless it is grandtathered in. The plan arrived at by the City shouldembody a sense of equity. It the City places a 1,000 cap and 'squeezes down' the exwmpt environment, there will be negative impact especially on high qualityllow cost housing. Minutes 4 July 8, 1987
