CityCouncil | 2006-11-21 | 15 | Mayor/Chair Johnson inquired whether Mr. Wang is indicating that the School District does not have a legitimate right to property within the area. Mr. Wang responded that he does not know of the school district having a legitimate right; stated the City never officially transferred the leasehold to the School District. Mayor/Chair Johnson inquired whether the School District agrees with Mr. Wang, to which Mr. Wang responded that he does not know. Mayor/Chair Johnson stated the issue must be resolved before the Council/Commission considers anything on the property. Mr. Wang outlined the amount he has spent on studies; urged moving toward a solution. Mayor/Chair Johnson stated that she concurs with Vice Mayor/ Commissioner Gilmore that the matter seems to be coming in the wrong order; the developer is requesting a subsidy; the developer needs to bring forward a project, not a concept, before subsidy is discussed; the Concept Plan does not appear to be compliant with Measure A; she is concerned that the project would have priority over other projects and is not convinced the City should commit to do so; she concurs with Vice Mayor Gilmore questioning why the matter should be addressed prior to completion of the NWSP. louncilmember/Commissioner Daysog stated a letter from a member of the public raised the concern that there would only be two public hearings on the matter; there needs to be a commitment to more public hearings if the project happens at all: the public should be involved through the Planning Board or a processi City Hall has to be prepared to juggle a lot of balls the NWSP is coming forward; City staff can deal with the School District issues; everything can happen on parallel tracks a commitment for greater public involvement is needed; the Concept Plan needs to be flexible; the NWSP might have ideas on the use and access of public space, which might differ from the Concept Plan; the NWSP would take priority over the Concept Plan. Mr. Wang stated the Concept Plan is based upon the NWSP. uncilmember/Commissioner Daysog stated the NWSP has not been adopted; although the Concept Plan might be consistent with the NWSP now, the NWSP could change when presented in January.
