and the balance to be planned for the central parcel of land, He discussed the noise mitigation possibility and the final look of the project. Ms. Michelotti asked about another alternative with a golf course placement at the north end of the property and the placement of the development more towards the freeway. Mr. Swift said that with the Zone 7 widening proposal there would only be room for a single row of golf course holes. Mayor Tarver discussed the likelihood of the Zone 7 being able to widen the channel in order to complete the project. He believed the people who would like to see the Tri-Valley 2010 Plan put before the voters see an enormous job/housing inrbaiance and want to fix this by overdeveloping the land that is remaining. He said to fix the job/housing balance will, in fact, not fix anything because the people who live here can afford to live here and can work someplace else and will still clog up the freeways. The people who are going to come here for the jobs are going to come from other locations and they are going to clog up the freeways. He said the community has a decision to make as to whether or not they want to get this project done and get 330 acres of open space to develop as the citizens please. He said he personally believes he does not want to mess up this opportunity. However citizens have the opportunity and the right to put to a vote any action that City Council takes. Ms. Michelotti said she had asked this question earlier when there was not such a tight deadline. She asked whether there would be a November vote. Mr. Swift said the only way it could get on the November ballot is if the City Council put it on the ballot as a Council sponsored initiative. He said there is an EIR that is going to cover the project. A referendum would need to take place in the 30 days after any City Council final action. If City Council would meet the deadline in the process now set, the 30 days would begin August 29Ih and run through September 29th. If enough signatures are gathered, it would be put on a ballot. It would not be the November ballot because of the Election Code. It would have to go on either a special ballot or on the next regular election. depending on how the City Cotmall chose to handle this. The City Council would make that decision. Ms. Michelotti asked if City Council could take an action by August 11m to place something on the ballot to reflect this? Mr. Swift said City Council could put on the ballot a zoning action, which would approve this PUD plan. The problem is that Council would not have reviewed all of the conditions of approval. He said normally when an initiative is put on the ballot, the measure would inclnde all of the conditions of approval. He said that this part is not necessary and an initiative could be developed that would just zone the property for 581 units in a configuration with 750,000 sq. ft. of commercial office space and require a subsequent PUD approval for the actual development plan.
