Based on the findings of the initial study, the Community Development Department

Planning Services Manager Steve McHarris provided the staff report and answered questions of
the Commission.
PUBLIC COMMENT
Joan O'Keefe, 9985 Old Morro Road East questioned whether this subdivision falls under the
new General Plan with a reduction in acreage. Mrs. O'Keefe also commented that the staff
report did not address the issue of percolation rates, only referring to them as "normal." She felt
it would be informative if this information were included in the staff report and asked what the
percolation rates were for this site.
Chairman Bentz asked Community Development Director Frace to address the issues raised by
Mrs. O'Keefe. Regarding the question of whether this project would fall under the new General
Plan, Director Frace stated that this area was re -designated under the new General Plan from a 2

%2 to 10 -acre district to a one -acre district. On the issue of percolation rates, Director Frace
indicated that this area was fairly flat with sandy soils. Percolation tests were done on the site
and came in at 50 minutes per inch. The percolation tests will be submitted with the building
permits.
Chairman Bentz closed the Public Comment period.

Resolution No. PC 2002-0070, certifying the proposed Mitigated Negative

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT STAFF REPORTS
Community Development Director Warren Frace reminded the Commission that the December
17th meeting has a fairly heavy agenda. Any Commissioners who may be absent for the meeting
are requested to inform Chairman Bentz or staff.
COMMISSIONER COMMENTS & REPORTS
Commissioner Kelley inquired if the Planning Department has been working on guidelines or
ratios for inclusionary housing and/or deed restricted housing for multi -family projects. Director
Frace stated that the issue is being discussed with the City Council, and staff is aware that an
inclusionary housing ordinance must be adopted so that staff, Commission and Council will have
clear guidelines on what requirements will be in terms of percentages of units deemed affordable
within projects.
Commissioner Fonzi referred to a project on the corner of Curbaril and El Camino Real to be
considered at the next Planning Commission meeting and asked whether the traffic study, which
was to be done along El Camino Real, would be included in the agenda packet for that project.
Director Frace indicated that a traffic study has been prepared and the mitigations of that study
have been incorporated in the project. Commissioner Fonzi stated that she thought there was
another traffic study required after the Gearhart project on Pueblo went in. Mr. Frace responded
that the City Engineer was working on collecting funds for improvements based on the Pueblo
Project; the money needed for the study was obtained from Albertson's and the upcoming drug
store project so no other applicants were asked to contribute. Director Frace stated that the
traffic study would be included as an attachment to the staff report.
