<br />Excerpt: Draft Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 of 4 December 8, 2021 <br /> <br />Commissioner Nibert added that he would also like safety improvements in the conditions of <br />approval. He stated he toured the project at the same time as Commissioner Morgan but they <br />did not discuss the project. <br /> <br />Commissioner Pace encouraged the Planning Commission to recommend the Council address <br />traffic safety concerns. <br /> <br />Chair Brown asked about speed lumps. Mr. Tassano explained the petition / approval process <br />for speed lumps. <br /> <br />Commissioner Morgan asked if cost was the only factor preventing building the one-third mile <br />trail. Ms. Clark discussed constraints including a drainage channel, narrow right-of-way and <br />private improvements that had been built within the right-of-way. <br /> <br />Commissioner Nibert asked about Condition of Approval No. 120 regarding installation of traffic <br />calming measures. Mr. Tassano explained that the City usually ran the traffic calming program <br />to help guide the residents. Commissioner Nibert then asked how the City ensured conditions of <br />approval were met. Ms. Clark explained that milestones were typically established based on <br />subsequent permitting and project entitlement. Commissioner Nibert pointed out the need for <br />affordable housing and in lieu fees associated with the project. <br /> <br />Commissioner Allen stated she did not support the prior 39-unit project but supported the current <br />proposal because it was consistent with zoning, maintained a semi-rural feel and she was <br />impressed that it would be self-sustainable. She suggested mandating or upgrading Condition <br />18 so that the trail was required to be implemented as part of the project and prior to occupancy <br />and that funding be negotiated between the City and applicant. <br /> <br />Commissioner Morgan added that he was supportive of the project because it met the Happy <br />Valley Specific Plan, had large lots, and included the conservation easement. He indicated <br />support for Vice Chair Allen’s suggestion regarding the trail. <br /> <br />Commissioner Pace thanked Staff for its work on the project and the applicant’s work with the <br />community. <br /> <br />Chair Brown concurred and stated the project, as proposed, was in keeping with the existing <br />community and within the HVSP. <br /> <br />Commissioner Allen moved to approve PUD-138 and Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map <br />8616, with Condition 18 modified to state that the Happy Valley Alisal Trail was required <br />as part of the project and prior to occupancy and that funding would be negotiated <br />between the applicant and the City. <br /> <br />Commissioner Nibert seconded the motion. <br /> <br />ROLL CALL VOTE: <br /> <br />AYES: Commissioners Allen, Brown, Nibert, and Pace <br />NOES: None DRAFT
