President Burton asked for clarification from staff on the affordable units. Mr. Thomas stated it is 15% of the total. President Burton asked about the paseo and how the building addresses Buena Vista, is there a linear park along Buena Vista Avenue, or is that parking. Mr. O'Hara explained the area looking up Benton showing the paseo, and indicated where the rail line is, with a drop down to the paseo.

No action will be taken Mr. Andrew Thomas, City Planner, commented on the city doing a good job on housing. He provided a presentation on the next Housing Element (HE). Board member Zuppan asked about zoning and CVS, with Del Monte and does that work back and forth with required units VS. building more than required. Mr. Thomas stated its nice to have a surplus, and we used our surplus on the Chipman site. 500 units surplus is huge. The HE numbers are based on formulas. He commented on the West Marine property being residential, and tearing it down for another commercial space is not an option. He recommends keeping a surplus. The state wants to know there are enough zones for residential space, it does nothing to remove a site (CVS) from the HE. Board member Köster asked what happens if someone wants to develop CVS as residential. Approved Regular Meeting Minutes Page 3 of 7 March 10, 2014 | PlanningBoard/2014-03-10.pdf |
