EXHIBIT J-7 PUD-33, James Tong/Charter Properties; Jennifer Lin, Frederic Lin, and Kevin Lin Consideration of: (1) the Final Environmental Impact Report for the Oak Grove development; (2) an application for a PUD development plan for the Oak Grove development to subdivide an approximately 562-acre site into 51 custom home sites and to designate the remaining area for permanent open space; and (3) the Development Agreement to vest the entitlements covered by this application. The property is located at 1400 Hearst Drive, near the present terminus of Hearst Drive on the southerly sides of the Vintage Hills and the Grey Eagle Estates developments and is zoned PUD - RDR/OS (Planned Unit Development -Rural Density ResidentiaVOpen Space) District. Ms. Decker advised that the Planning Commission's task would be to listen to the presentations by staff and the applicant, take public testimony, and provide a recommendation to City Council with regard to the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) of the proposed PUD development plan, which is the environmentally preferred 51-unit plan, and the development agreement. All the agreements, text, and existing visuals were provided to the Commissioners. The Planning Commission's charge during this hearing would be to determine whether the Final EIR can be certified, meaning that the process of hearing and reviewing the presentations on the Draft EIR had taken place. The responses to comments essentially comprise the Final EIR. The Planning Commission would evaluate whether or not those responses were appropriate and adequate, and, therefore, a recommendation could be made on whether the Final EIR may be certified. Ms. Decker then introduced Marion Pavan, Associate Planner and project planner. Mr. Pavan stated that at the close of a three-year process, he had considered it a distinct privilege to be able to work on this project. He presented the staff report and noted that Commissioner Narum, because of her previous service on the Parks and Recreation Commission, would not be able to speak on the open space issues but may speak and provide recommendation on the project. He then detailed the background, scope, and layout of the proposed project. He noted that with respect to phasing, two thresholds existed: 1. Phasing with respect to when fire measures need to be installed, including a water tank. Some lots may be constructed, absent the fire access road, the EVA, or water tank. 2. Before that phase may take place, there is also a threshold with respect to the installation of trails and open space, which must be done before the sale of the fifth lot. In response to an inquiry by Chairperson Fox with respect to Commissioner Narum's presence on the dais during the discussion of open space during the staff report, Mr. Roush confirmed that while she may not be able to participate in the discussion concerning open space, for purposes of presentation of the staff report, she may remain to hear that section of the staff report. Mr. Pavan continued to describe the EIR process for this project, described the open space area, and displayed the trail plan on the overhead screen. Commissioner O'Connor stated that it seemed like the language of the conditions of approval with respect to completing the road in the phasing was not clear. He noted that it seemed that a sign at the end of the street showing the future street would indicate that the street was not in EXCERPTS: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, June 13, 2007 Page 1 of 19
