PlanningBoard | 2016-05-09 | 2 | Board Member Sullivan said she wanted to make sure to include the building community in the process to account for design trends. There was no public comment. Board Member Burton said we definitely should include the development community but these requirements are needed and can be accommodated. He said he is happy to see it moving forward as our community continues to age. Board Member Zuppan said these features could be a market advantage, not just a burden, for the developer community. Board Member Henneberry said he supports the other Board Members' comments and is in favor of the sub-committee idea. President Knox White thanked staff for bringing the item forward. He said he is okay with a sub-committee, but that he is most concerned with getting the ordinance turned around quickly before more major projects get approved without it. He said he was concerned with making a formal mixed sub-committee due to Brown Act concerns. Staff Member Thomas said he would like to use the sub-committee to move it along quickly and is okay with having it subject to Brown Act requirements. 7-B 2016-2867 Study Session to Provide Direction on Main Street Neighborhood Specific Plan Park and Street Network Alternatives and Key Development Regulations Staff Member Ott gave the staff presentation.
