This <br />workshop is being held to assure the Council, Planning Commission and public remain <br />informed regarding this development review activity and to provide an opportunity for <br />pubic comment prior to the PUD reviews. In addition, the workshop is intended to <br />provide feedback from the Council and Planning Commission to the developers for <br />consideration prior to preparing final PUD plans. Finally, the workshop is intended to <br />present an overall master plan for the development focusing on such matters as <br />circulation, trails and pedestrian sidewalks, parks, landscaping, etc., to assure that the <br />entire development is viewed in its entirety rather then focusing on individual sites. <br />While the existing Specific Plan outlines particular development standards, this project <br />includes an amendment to the Specific Plan to conform to the development as set forth <br />in the MOU. As a result, staff has focused on presenting material illustrating master <br />planning for the entire site. <br />
