<br />C) Report 3 - Hair Island Road Study Area; Interim Urgency Ordinance to enact <br />moratorium on all development in the Bair Island Study Area, and include an <br />exception for development agreements. Develop a specific plan for this, and an <br />adjacent area not subject to the moratorium; <br /> <br />Mayor Ruskin stated the reports would be explained as one combined report followed by <br />separate Council discussion and public input on each report. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Nelson explained that on July 24, Council adopted an <br />urgency ordinance and gave direction to return in 32 days with something new.

He referred to <br />various ideas outlined in his letter. He requested that the ordinance address the rewards of <br />housing not penalties or in lieu fees. <br /> <br />Keith Bautista stated that the Chamber of Commerce had not had an opportunity to study <br />and respond to the proposals and requested action be deferred until obtaining feedback. <br /> <br />Kelly Erardi stated Shapell' s opposition to downzoning of the market place at Redwood <br />Shores from CB to CN.

He expressed <br />concern when staff is pressed for time and went through the chronology of his proposed <br />project. He further stated the process should be to zone properly and create incentives. <br /> <br />Ted Hannig spoke about all three ordinances and stated that an emergency ordinance sends <br />a negative message to the development community. <br /> <br />M/S Claire/Hartnett to extend the meeting to 11 :45 p.m. The motion passed by a unanimous <br />voice vote. <br /> <br />REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING <br />MINUTES <br /> <br />AUGUST 28, 2000 <br />PAGE II <br /> <br />T <br /> <br />-"11" <br />
