ATTACHMENT 2: PUBLIC COMMENTS <br /> Gerry Beaudin <br /> February 25.2019 <br /> Page'2 <br /> project. The City will have approval powers over any development and the <br /> recommendation by the Task Force and the designation by the City Council in the <br /> DSP Wal still allow the City virtually total review and approval power over the <br /> proposed project <br /> Despite the fact that multi-family residential use is clearly the appropriate use for the <br /> property,.we understand that the Task Force may be concerned that to change the <br /> designation in the OSP and rezone the property for residential use may go beyond <br /> what some citizens anticipated that the DSP would accomplish. This matter has <br /> been subject to two (2)years of intensive comment and consideration but if that is a <br /> concern we would suggest the following option which would allow our project to <br /> move forward as soon as the OSP is effective: <br /> 1. Designate the property at 4212 First Street as a'Capsule'designation in the <br /> Downtown Specific Plan in which the Downtown Commercial and multi-. <br /> family residential uses would be appropriate;and <br /> 2. In the implementation section of the DSP set out an"Overlay' zoning <br /> category for the property which would allow commercial or multi-famity use; <br /> subject to a requirement that any residential development be processed as a <br /> PUD. <br /> We would prefer from simplicity's sake that the Task Force recommend to the <br /> Planning Commission that the property be redesignated and, ultimately, rezoned to <br /> multi-family residential. This type of small, infill development would be totally <br /> consistent with the surrounding residential uses, The Overlay concept that we have <br /> suggested would let the City retain complete control over the ultimate use to which <br /> the property can be put We appreciate the opportunity to discuss this with you. <br /> Very truly yours, <br /> MILLER STARR REGALIA <br /> -)V6on y. 11ren r <br /> Wilson F.
