Minutes Planning Commission 6/17/81 Planning Commission meeting. Mr. Eynck, using exhibits, explained the uses and proposals for the area. Mr. Gibney stated he would like flexibility concerning two of the parcels mentioned in the agreement and would like to be able to remove them if necessary. Commissioner Wilson stated that if Council so desires they can allow this latitude. Commissioner Wilson asked for clarification of Paragraph No. 5 and Mr. Levine explained. It was noted that Charlotte Severin was in the audience representing Breuners and that Marilyn Morish was present representing Kaiser. Neither of these ladies had any comments concerning the agreement. The public hearing was closed. Mr. Harris asked to address the Commission before a vote was taken. He stated that in approving this agreement, the City would be granting Taubman two rights which they currently do not have for a period of ten years; first, the City would be granting uses for the center and if the City found any of the uses inappropriate, they could not be changed for the duration of the agreement; secondly, others may be coming in for approval of similar agreements and approval of the Taubman Agreement may be precedent setting. He said his main concern is not with the Mall area but, for example, there are 91 acres to the east where all the City has is a site plan and the developer could request such an agreement. He urged the Commission to consider these comments. Commissioner Getty asked if Kaiser would come in with their own agreement. Mr. Harris stated he didn't know and it might be different. Commissioner Lindsey said that the Commiss-ion will have a chance to see proposed developments concerning this matter. Commissioner Wilson asked if projects would still have to come before the Design Review Board. Mr. Harris stated that applicants can ask for anything they want to be contained in the agreement and that right now it is uses, others may be asking for uses when nothing has been built on the property. Mr. Levine responded that this should not be precedent setting in that every development would be considered individually. Commissioner Wilson asked if sewers were good for 10 years, would the developers becoming in for this. Mr. Gibney said yes they would and that the development agreement is a new concept. He addressed substantial investments made by developers and the fact that they would like to have some assurance approvals would not be changed prior to taking out building permits. A motion was made by Commissioner Wilson, seconded by Commissioner Doherty that the Draft Development Agreement dated June 11, 1981 is consistent with the General Plan and recommends approval of the agreement to City Council.
