Mr. Swift indicated that if the decisions on July 9 are deferred, then there will be nothing for an attorney to look at, because he would not know what Council's action will be. It was moved by Ms. Michelotti, seconded by Ms. Mohr, to delete "The specific plan should hdude a target of no more than 150 housing units." Ms. Mohr indicated there are several little parcels in the area of the 'S ' curve which are not controversial and should not be included in the balance of the Corridor. They should stay in the district for reimbursement purposes, but should be taken out of this proposed specific plan. Ms. Michelotti did not want to include that as part of her motion. The r011 Call v0t~ was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers Michelotti and Mohr NOES: Councilmembers Dennis, Pico, and Mayor Tarver ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None The motion failed. Mr. Tarver referred to the land use map attached to the report and felt the motion to set a 150 unit cap was as a result of the discussions of expectations of development. He felt 150 units reflected the concept of what was expected for the area and still maintained the guidelines including scenic road entry, preserving substantial open space, planting vineyards and maintaining a wine country architecture and landscaping design. He is still uncomfortable saying no more than 'X" number of units because there is no plan to look at. Staff should not have to review a plan for 480 units when it will not meet the guidelines. He had hoped that by including the designation of land use on the map and setting acreage that there would be established an approximate range to apply to any potential plan. Ms. Dennis felt if specific acreage was assigned to uses, it would constrain development of the specific plan. You need to look at the relationship of the different uses and the ability to provide infrastructure, etc. before that determination could be made. The 150 units is a component of the specific plan in addition to all the other uses. She suggested saying a 'target' of 150 units. She felt there was community discomfort with the higher end of the range for units that is desired by the property owners. She was prepared to accept the Steering Committee number generated by its suggested land use and then add some other types of uses. Mr. Tarvet preferred that, because when the plan is developed it is clear the desire is to have about that number of units and still have scenic road, etc. As with every development plan, if there is something especially attractive or beneficial, it will be taken into consideration. 07/15/96 - 23 -
