process until it has some concrete support, the Association understands it needs to have that support before allowing any type of parallel process to occur. Councilmember Ayala clarified that any new residential zoning would be in addition to the square footage that has already been approved. Mr. Paxson said he has told the applicants coming forward the Association is interested in preserving the entitlement. That entitlement will take it to the end of the General Plan. In the meantime there are projects in the Park that have entitlements and have vested rights to build office space. There is going to be some opportunity to examine the movement of that entitlement from office into residential. There is the issue of permitted uses for the Shakley site and the Nearon site that have come before the Association. It was approved by a 75% margin. Hacienda is using the City's traffic model and relying on the City direction in terms of what to get modeled. The developers are bringing in additional information, particularly in regards to the impacts they believe will be seen with transit oriented mixed use development, and are offering that information to the City for consideration to incorporate into the model if the City so chooses. They are trying to provide the best data that they can from the various consultants. Councilmember Ayala said Hacienda Business Park was approved with the requirement to build the West Las Positas Interchange and that Stoneridge would connect to El Charro in order to make the traffic flow work. The City is talking about taking out the interchange and adding additional housing on top of the square footage of the office/commercial. What happens to the traffic flow? Mr. Paxson said the Association is interested in looking at a variety of mitigations. One of the things that may result is that new projects cannot be added on top of existing entitlements. The Association wants the opportunity to explore this. It understands there might not be a way to mitigate this. Based on some of the information gathered, there is a very good opportunity that this can work. The Association wants the opportunity to look at it. It wants to use transit and programs to resolve some of the traffic issues. Mayor Pico said the Council would be discussing the parallel track concept with respect to the Hacienda Business Park plan and other plans. The Council has had the position of wanting to see the overall plan for the Business Park before making certain approvals. Council will decide if the City wants to include high-density housing in the Business Park and decide on the parallel process to take place. Mayor Pico closed the public comments. 4. Next Steps and Matters Initiated by Council or Commission Mayor Pico said he wanted to allow the Planning Commissioners to give input and thoughts of additional changes and modifications to the Inclusionary Zoning ordinance and on High Density housing sites it wanted to see added to the General Plan study.
