Mr. Swift said each of the development agreements have different clauses regarding funding of improvements. A report was done several years ago, which set forth the various agreements. Mr. Brozosky indicated it was necessary to have a definition of cut through traffic and he would like to have staff review existing plus approved development in conjunction with the 2025 regional development plans before adding more traffic to the city. He was not comfortable with the model of the Stoneridge/Santa Rita intersection and would like a better understanding of that intersection. Regarding Option B-l, if traffic circulation cannot meet the established policies of the city, he felt that it may not be possible to add any more land use. He did not feel adding land uses would make circulation better. Ms. McGovem referred to Table 10 in the staff report regarding new development approved since 2003 and noted there are about 1,729 units. She asked how many units are currently built and occupied and how many units are approved but not yet built? Mr. Iserson said there are about 25,500 existing units. He did not have the figure for existing plus approved, but would bring that information to the next meeting. Mr. Swift explained the 1,729 units were not included in the 2003 Baseline Report. If one compares the 2003 Baseline existing units to existing plus approved, it did include all these units. Many of these houses have been built. The most recent numbers as of January 2005 were given to Council in a Table at an earlier workshop. Ms. McGovern asked for a better understanding of how many units are currently occupied and how many are still to be built in order to get an idea of how close the city is to its housing cap. She also had questions about commercial/retail/office. She believed that generated more traffic than residential. Mr. Swift said in total thers is more traffic from approved commercial/office/industrial than from residential development. Ms. McGovern asked that question because of the plans for Hacienda Business Park to convert some of its office to possible housing. She wanted to know how that would affect the traffic. Mr. Swift said that can be done, but analysis would depend on the density of the housing. It also depends on whether the residents work in town. He explained the variables that would affect the traffic patterns. Ms. McGovern asked if one looked at Hacienda Business Park as it currently exists how were traffic volumes calculated?
