CityCouncil | 2010-03-16 | 28 | The Planning Services Manager responded the Collins project requested a density bonus; stated a Measure A compliant plan was submitted and was denied; a second submittal was a Measure A compliant plan and included more units than allowed under Measure A because it would be eligible for certain [density bonus] waivers, which is not what SunCal submitted. Councilmember/Board Member/Commissioner Tam inquired whether staff has worked with SunCal since the OEA was submitted on March 14 to determine whether there is a way to be in compliance rather than providing a brand new submittal. The Planning Services Manager responded staff cannot process a non Measure A project; stated an initiative is the only way to get the project approved; staff has met with SunCal many times and has explained the deficiency in the submittal; the Notice of Default is specific regarding some of the deficiencies; the current Density Bonus Ordinance is a bonus above either the Zoning or General Plan designation for the site. The Deputy City Manager - Development Services stated the SunCal submittal does not include a density bonus application. Councilmember/Board Member/Commissioner Tam inquired whether SunCal has the opportunity to submit a density bonus application, to which the Deputy City Manager - Development Services responded SunCal has been advised that they would need to submit a base project that is Measure A compliant and then submit a density bonus application that is consistent with the Density Bonus Ordinance. Councilmember/Board Member/Commissioner Tam inquired who makes the determination on whether the Density Bonus Ordinance is applied appropriately. The Deputy City Manager - Development Services responded an interdepartmental team would review the matter. Councilmember/Board Member/Commissioner Tam inquired whether the matter would come to the Council/Board/Commission at any time, to which the Interim City Manager/ Interim Executive Director responded the process is administrative.
