noted the Vineyard Corridor and Happy Valley Specific Plans are also new, however a portion of the Happy Valley Specific Plan would come forward for review as part of the Spotorno/Greenbriar application. Ms. McGovern asked if the density in the downtown area would be part of the review? She referred to a presentation by Charles I-luff and Mike O'Callaghan to Council about zoning changes and secondary units in the downtown area. Mr. Iserson said it was not included because of the recent adoption of the Downtown Specific Plan. She asked if there were overall land use goals for the vacant property in the city? She wondered if there were certain public and institutional or open space properties that the city wanted to maintain? Mr. Iserson said those things are to be reviewed. He did not think there had been identified percentages for each, but that is important to the land use discussion to determine if there is enough land for each category. Ms. McGovern wanted that perspective to be included in the build out plan. She then asked if the economic perspective is considered when reviewing land use changes? Mr. Iserson said that is part of the consideration and the consultant team includes a member of Bay Area Economics, which is working on an economic and fiscal plan for the city. They are working with the Economic Vitality Committee and staff to assess what would be best for the city in the future in terms of business interests and other economic and fiscal analyses. Ms. McGovern then referred to the map and noted some properties are not within the city limits. She asked if staff had discussed annexation with these landowners? Mr. Iserson said yes. He noted the General Plan is based on the city's planning area, which includes areas beyond the city limits, so that if those areas are ever annexed, the city has some input to the County with regard to what it might approve to be built in that location. For planning purposes, the General Plan has always gone beyond the city boundaries. Ms. Iserson referred to the memo, which discussed possible large issues for Planning Commission contemplation. She asked if there would be a review of definitions and policies surrounding density ranges, mid-point ranges and gross developable acreage? Mr. Iserson said that was possible if desired. Ms. McGovern then indicated her interest in inclusionary housing and wanted to make certain that was part of land use. Mr. Iserson said that was more closely related to the Housing Element.
