is not appealed. If, however, a heating is requested, it becomes a major ~nodi~cafton and would go before the Planning Commission and the Cily Council. He believed one way to accomplish a review of the building and make some modifications to the design of the building is to direct stdit'to make changes pursuant to a minor modification process. Council could have it on the next agenda and direct staff to make minor changes. The only other altemative is to initiate a major change and go through the public heating process, which would take almost two months. Ms. Micheloiti reiterated the developer is willing to work with staff on minor ctmnges. Mr. Slajchert indicated he would be happy to make minor changes so long as the project stays within its approval. He said a hearing was held before the Housing Commission on March 16 and comments were made about the rear landscaping. He said there is flexibility to make the necessary modifications and he is more than willing to do that. The focus is to retain the existing approved development in a form that would allow them to maintain the design and application for the tax credits. That is a very competitive process and there is limited flexibility to make changes prior to the next round. From a financial standpoint, his company cannot keep this property trader contract after the next round. They must close on the property by the end of the year or not move on the project at all. The project approval counts as 25 points and 140-150 points are necessary to have a good chance of getting funding. At this point, his project is in that range, but if it loses 25 points, it would take them out of competition. Ms. Ayala asked if the developer could just work with staff to implement the changes that were discussed at the workshop and the Planning Comntission meeting so long as it did not become a minor or major modification. Mr. Swift said if the changes were just about landscaping, that would be no problem. If the discussion is to eliminate a fire mad. that is in the approval and would require a major change. Ms. Dennis felt Council had responsibility for this. It knew when the rental lhcility was denied that the o~gixml approved project would stand. There has been a big sign on the proper~y and if Council did not agree with that prior approval, it had the ability to change it before now. Ms. Ayala asked for a visual montage for the view fi'om Foothill ~vhen it is available. Mayor Tarvet indicated there were not three votes to add the item to the agenda. Mr. Slajchert indicated he would provide any information the Council would like. Mr. Swift asked Council to advise staffof any minor changes it might like to make on this.
