MATTERS INITIATED BY COMMISSION MEMBERS <br /> <br />Commissioner Arkin had requested that the Brad Hirst building on Sunol Boulevard and <br />Sycamore be brought back to the Planning Commission. <br /> <br />Commissioner Roberts noted that the Planning Commission was not informed that the type of <br />stones were completely changed, and that there were no reddish tones at all. She did not believe <br />it was a bad design, but objected that the Commission was not told that it was changed. <br /> <br />r <br /> <br />Commissioner Sullivan recalled that the green building conditions were later waived or <br />downgraded, and was not sure how that happened. <br /> <br />Commissioner Arkin recalled that the design for the building originally included bricks. <br /> <br />In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Arkin, Mr. Swift confirmed that the downtown <br />district was a PDA assessment district, and added that the fees collected were for marketing and <br />promotions efforts. He noted that it was an actual district, and the City was the agency charged <br />with estimating the amount and collecting the monies. <br /> <br />Commissioner Arkin inquired whether the Brown Act applied to the Downtown Assessment <br />District, Assistant City Attorney Lynn Nerland advised that she would examine that issue and <br />report to the Planning Commission at the next meeting. <br /> <br />Commissioner Roberts noted that the Design Review Committee of the PDA publicly noticed <br />their meeting. <br /> <br />In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Arkin, Mr. Swift noted that this type of assessment <br />district was unique within the City. <br /> <br />Commissioner Roberts noticed that the Growth Management issue was coming before the <br />Commission soon, and she believed she would have a conflict of interest with some of the items <br />addressing the Vineyard Corridor. She requested that the items she could not participate in be <br />r presented together for efficiency. <br /> <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES <br /> <br />October 23, 2002 <br /> <br />Page 30 <br />
