he recommended the Council consider adding a condition for the developer to contribute $2,500 toward the Bernal Park. Staff recommends approval of the project, subject to conditions in the staff report and the additional condition suggested. Mayor Hosterman opened the public hearing. There were no public speakers and she closed the public hearing. Councilmember McGovern disclosed meeting with the developers and architect on the project. She confirmed with staff that the redwood fence would be increased to 8 feet in height and that the Heritage Association was currently in the process of becoming anon-profit organization. Councilmember Thorne supported the project's density in the downtown and acknowledged support from the Heritage Association and Downtown Association. Motion: It was m/s by McGovern/Thorne to Introduce Ordinance No. 1971 approving the application for Planned Unit Development rezoning and development plan approval to rezone an existing 13,161-square-foot parcel from RM-2, 500 (Multiple-Family Residential) District to PUD-HDR (Planned Unit Development -High Density Residential) District to renovate the existing home and to construct four detached single-family units ranging from 1,713 square feet to 1,919 square feet at the property located at 4238 First Street, with the added condition for the Bernal Park contribution of $2,500. Motion passed by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Cook-Kallio, McGovern, Sullivan, Thorne, Mayor Hosterman Noes: None Absent: None 17. Review, discuss and provide direction to staff regarding the future public review process for the property located at 3950 Stanley Boulevard at the intersection of Valley Avenue, Bernal Avenue and Stanley Boulevard Planning and Community Development Director Jerry Iserson gave the staff report and said major issues in the past were traffic and economic viability. Regency has asked that the Council table the second reading of the ordinance to an indeterminate date to re-evaluate the project regarding uses which would lead eventually to an amended development application. He said the Council may wish to 1) wait until the General Plan update is completed; 2) wait until the property is included in the West Side Specific Plan after the General Plan update is adopted; or 3) table the second reading to allow the applicant and staff to work with the community to identify appropriate uses. Councilmember Thorne questioned the advantage of tabling the matter rather than scheduling the hearing, which would deny it. City Manager Fialho said nothing prevents the Council from tabling the matter for a year, but staff suggests the Council bring closure depending upon which option is chosen. The short-term option causes the developer to work with the community and then return with an amended application. Alternatively, the Council could also table the application until the General Plan is completed. Councilmember Cook-Kallio questioned and confirmed the developer is requesting time in order to involve the community, explore uses, and conduct further analysis. Councilmember McGovern referred to Option 3 and confirmed with staff that the developer could work out his plans, work with the community with no time limit as to when it must return.
