Commissioner Narum inquired what would happen if the protection zone was adopted, limiting it to 1,000, before the Sharks facility was actually approved, and if this would affect the EIR. Ms. Giffin replied that so long as the EIR is certified prior to this time, it would not impact the EIR. Commissioner Pearce moved to recommend to the City Council certification of the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Staples Ranch project as adequate and complete and adoption of the CEQA findings and the Statement of Overriding Considerations for the project. Commissioner Narum seconded the motion, with the inclusion of a Mitigation Monitoring and Implementation Plan for the project. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES: Commissioners Blank, Fox, Narum, Olson, and Pearce. NOES: None. ABSTAIN: None RECUSED: None. ABSENT: Commissioners Fox. Resolutions Nos. PC-2008-49 recommending certification of the Final EIR for the Staples Ranch project as adequate and complete; PC-2008-50 recommending adoption of the CEQA findings and the Statement of Overriding Considerations for the project; and PC-2008-51 recommending approval of the Mitigation Monitoring and Implementation Plan for the project were entered and adopted as motioned. Commissioner Narum referred to the Draft Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan Amendment for Staples Ranch and questioned some of the wording. She expressed concern that there is no mention of the City's noise ordinance, given the project's proximity to I-580. Ms. Giffin clarified that the noise mitigations are contained within the EIR and that upon approval, the EIR document would go hand- in-hand with the Specific Plan Amendment. Chair Blank inquired whether or not it should be included, and Commissioner Narum stated that it should be included as there is substantial noise issues from both the airport and the freeway. Ms. Giffin indicated that it could be added as a policy measure. She added that when the PUD's come forward, they will fall back on a straight-zone district, which automatically includes noise regulations. She noted that the EIR Mitigation Measures are above and beyond those required by the Municipal Code. Chair Blank expressed concern that five years from now, a developer may come forward and say that the Specific Plan does not say anything about it. He noted that PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, October 22, 2008 Page 10 of 13
