City Manager Everett stated there was clear interest in the area to get involved and a Contract Planner would work with the stakeholders to work through what they would like the area to look like. Public Comment: Robert Baldwin, a business owner, asked if Phase I is to include some housing and if so, he felt it would have a significant effect on the owners and businesses in the Phase II area. He stated that as a group there is a better chance to negotiate a deal with the City and the developers as a united effort with the Phase I group. He recommended the Board shelve the entire agenda until the involved and interested parties have had a chance to get on the same page. The Board requested clarification on comments made regarding lack of communication and Board discussion occurred on the planning process of Phase I and Phase II. City Manager Everett stated the purpose of the bifurcation to be a way to allow enough time for the stakeholders to study the issue of housing in Phase II. Planning and Redevelopment Director Church stated Mr. Baldwin may be helpful as a collection point person for dissemination of information in the neighborhood. An individual mailout to those on record as owning or renting in the area would also occur. M/S Ruskin/Howard to accept the staff recommendation as follows: 1) That the March 25, 2002 staff report still be regarded as the "plan" document for this entire area but with the following changes: 2) That the Board direct staff to only begin the Owner Participation process within the Phase I area bounded by Maple Street, Lathrop Street and El Camino Real and that proposals only respond to the Phase I area; 3) That the Board clarifies that any action with regard to Phase il (the area generally bounded by Maple Street, the railroad tracks, Chestnut Street, and Lathrop Street) will take subsequent action by the Redevelopment Board. An owner or other respondent to the Phase I offer to participate will not acquire any rights to develop/redevelop in the Phase II area. 4) Begin the formation of the stakeholder group for Phase II immediately; communicate the concept of the fast track process to them and communicate frequently and well with all stakeholders in the area. The motion passed by a unanimous roll call vote by those present with Agency Member Hartnett absent. RD MINUTE ORDER 02-11 7. PUBLIC HEARING- None 8.
