9.B. - Page 11 <br /> Next Steps/Timeline <br /> If the Council chooses to proceed with the environmental review, and potential DTPP <br /> amendments and MAD adjustments, it is estimated that the environmental review will be <br /> complete in January 2015. Staff will present the findings, along with the staff <br /> recommendation to the Planning Commission and City Council in the first quarter of <br /> 2015. <br /> ALTERNATIVES <br /> There are several options that the Council could consider as follows: <br /> 1. The Council may opt to not proceed with a General Plan and Downtown Precise <br /> Plan amendment at this time. All developments in the pipeline not covered under <br /> the existing MAD limitations would have to wait for the DTPP phase 2 or could <br /> opt to proceed at their own risk with their own environmental review and General <br /> Plan/DTPP amendments. <br /> 2. A second alternative would be to allow for a maximum conversion of uses, rather <br /> than agree to the staff recommended conversion limitations. <br /> 3. A third alternative would be to further restrictions or limitations on conversion. <br /> FISCAL IMPACT <br /> The environmental work associated with adjustments to the Maximum Allowable <br /> Development allocations described above are estimated to be $59,000. A significant <br /> amount of staff work is also involved in implementing and modifying the DTPP. <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW <br /> The Downtown Precise Plan Environmental Impact Report was adopted by the City <br /> Council in 2011 . Any modifications made to the adopted DTPP will be completed in full <br /> compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This action to direct <br /> staff to further study potential Downtown Precise Plan modification is not considered a <br /> Project under the CEQA, and therefore does not require separate environmental <br /> consideration. <br /> AARON AKNIN <br /> DIRECTOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT <br />
