Councilmember Mercer stated he felt Mr. Dunkley should be allowed to develop without waiting two years for the completion of a City project. He added that he felt the medium density development would not create significant additional traffic. Mr. Brown stated that in his opinion placing a condition on his property re- lated to completion of Pico Avenue to Stanley could be precedent setting. Councilmember Butler stated he concurred with Councilmember Mercer, and favored approval of the application. It was moved by Councilmember Mercer, and seconded by Councilmember Butler, determining on the basis of a review of initial environmental study done for this project, that no significant environmental impact would occur as outlined in the City's guidelines and that a Negative Declaration is appropriate for an amendment to the Land Use Element of the General Plan which would change the land use designa- tion of a 6 acre parcel of land at the southwest corner of Pico Avenue and Vineyard Avenue from "Parks and Recreation" to"Medium Density Residential". The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmen Butler and Mercer NOES: Councilman Wood and Mayor Brandes ABSENT: Councilman Kephart Considerable Council discussion ensued regarding placing a condition on the application relative to completion of Pico to Stanley Boulevard. Mr. Dunkley proposed to Council the development of his 6 acres with 9 custom homes in the first phase as well as the proposed capital improvements, with con- struction of the multiple units being completed in the second phase of development, and decision on the 10 acre adjacent parcel being postponed at this time. Mr. Dun~ley stated his project would contribute major capital improvements to Pico and Vineyard Avenues and would be phased according to the Residential Allocation Program. Mayor Brandes stated he felt this was more acceptable and would create less increased traffic on Vineyard Avenue, which was his major concern.
