He began by asking the council and public to "agree to disagree" in a civil manner and adhere to addressing the stand alone agendized issue of either rati- fying or rejecting the project. Goss promised not to ex- ercise his ability to 'cut the mike' for speakers who ex- ceeded the 3 minute time limit as was the case at the previous hearing. However, while asking speakers to re- spect the time limit he also asked them to restrict their comments to the matters on the agenda. He pointed out that Measure HR was not on the agenda and that public comment should only bring up the matter if it related directly to the items on the agenda. The council was then tasked with deliberating and ap- proving or rejecting the fol- lowing Planning Commis- sion recommendations for the project: 1. Certifying the Environ- mental Impact Report 2. Adopting the CEQAFindings of Fact; 3. Adopting the MitigationMonitoring and ReportingProgram; 4. Approving the amend- ments to the General Plan and Land Use Mapto change the project sitefrom Institutional to Resi- dential Single Family; and 5. Approving the Lot LineAdjustment The Planning Commission also recommended that the City Council approve the fol- lowing actions: 1. Approve amendments to the Zoning Code andZoning Map to change theproject site from Institu- tional to Residential SingleFamily; 2. Approve the SpecificPlan for The Meadows at Bailey Canyon Project; and 3. Approve the Develop- ment Agreement The Council was presented with presentations by staff, followed by questions from the Council. During Public Comment there were a number of speakers and on the city's transparency portal there are approximately 519 com- ments that the council mem- bers all acknowledged re- ceiving and reading. Deliberation Highlights: Council ascertained 3 key concessions from the devel- oper that addressed some of the public's stated concerns: 1. Tree sizes in the new development: Developer committed to increasing25% of the 24” boxed trees to 36” to be placed in strategiclocations 2. Increased demands on public safety for the 42 new homes: The developer com- mitted to a supplemental payment of $250,000 to help stating, "....pleased to sup- port whatever public safety needs the city council deems appropriate". 3. Water: An amendment was made committing theproject be subject to futureamendments to the Water Efficient Landscape Ordi- nance (WELO), to be effec- tive at time of construction document submittal. The Council also amended the Development Agreement Section 14 – Remedies, delet- ing the term “event of ” from the event of default from the entirety of the Development Agreement.
