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.
