� -� 3 addressed to Mayor Ira Ruskin and express the following sentiments regarding the future of the Oak Knoll/Canyon Road Shopping Center: "We are not in favor of developing the Canyon Road Shopping �Center with an office complex or apartment buildings. We would like the property to remain true to the rural atmosphere of the neighborhood and serve the immediate community." At your September 11, 2000 meeting, the Council expressed an interest in an expedited �review and recommendation process by the Planning Commission and Housing and Human Concern Committee. Both the term of the review and the breadth of the review were discussed at great length. There is some interest to broaden the breadth of the review. However, the consensus was to consider broader issues such as potential rezonings in the context of the Housing Element update and the General Plan update. Still, there is interest in looking at housing incentives and standards to ensure the significant number of units result from the commercial incentive. Given the fall schedule of ineetings for the Commission, they felt they could accomplish their portion of the work in 4 months. They also expressed an interest in having no period where neither an Urgency Ordinance or ordinance amendments are in place. Given the fact the process before the City Council in ordinance adoption is two readings and an additional 30 days for the ordinance to be effective, a six month extension is suggested. Alternative No interim measures. Do not extend the Interim Urgency Ordinance and accept that offices and other uses will be built using the existing standards, uses, definitions, and zoning districts and allow the Planning Commission to complete their work to improve design, landscaping, and parking standards by initiating an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance using the conventional amendment process and timeline. This process will take approximately 6 months. Do not extend the Interim Urgency Ordinance and accept that o�ces and other uses will be built and that the existing design, landscaping, and parking standards will be applied. Shorter time frame. Extend the Urgency Interim Ordinance for a period shorter than 6 months and direct the Planning Commission, Housing and Human Concerns Committee, and Architectural Review Committee to consider only the elements of the Interim Urgency Ordinance without the modifications they have recommended reviewing in the extended time period. Fiscal Impact There will be a cost to the City related to review of the amendments as they move through the Planning Commission and Council process. This work was not anticipated in the budget. Contract Planner assistance will be necessary at an additional cost to the City of approximately $10,000. � � � // � �yy �—� � / �� / �'1�f N41�-- � � ' �L-"�-� //� �/ Cti ^�-t✓>-u � � �. �Michael Church Deborah Nelson Ed Evere�ft Planning & Redevelopment Manager Community Development Director City Manager DSN:js Attachment .. _ _ . . . __......_._. _. _._,, ..._.._..,__.____. _.,-►-. -�. . � _. _ _
