Commissioner Blank stated that, theoretically, someone could bulldoze a section of a property, create a slope greater than 25 percent, and leave the property no longer available for development. Commissioner Narum referred to the Council meeting where the question was discussed about the Bypass Road on the property and recalled that the two authors of Measure PP stated that their intent was not to exclude that or that they would be fine with grading for the Bypass Road. She noted that If they find that grading to be falling within the intent of the initiative, she would think that grading on a corner of a lot like this for parking would be the same thing. Commissioner Blank stated that if the authors of Measure PP were not in agreement with the Commission’s decision, they have the ability to appeal the decision to the City Council and then take it to court or referend it. Chair Pearce supported the motion and stated that she felt it meets the General Plan and the intent of Measure PP. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES: Commissioners Blank, Narum, Olson, and Pearce.
