PlanningBoard | 2022-02-14 | 2 | President Saheba opened the board clarifying questions. Board Member Hanson Hom asked about previous design changes the board had asked the applicant to work with the staff on and wanted an update on those. Staff Member Dong answered that they were still working with the applicant on those. The previous conditions of approval would still apply. Vice President Ruiz also asked about a condition that had not been addressed. Staff Member Dong explained that they would address those conditions before the building permit. President Saheba opened public comment. There were no public speakers. President Saheba closed public comment and opened board discussion. Board Member Ron Curtis wanted to know what assurances they had that the conditions would be met in the future. Allen Tai, City Planner, addressed those concerns and explained how the pandemic had affected timelines. He also discussed what the board could ask of the staff and the applicant. President Saheba was happy to see this had come back but brought up the importance of this being a "gateway" site and how they addressed the corner was critical. He recommended putting a condition on the Design Review to bring this back as they updated it. Vijay Patal, the applicant, discussed the history of the project and addressed the concerns over the design and the entry corner. Board Member Hom asked about the timeframe for proposals about the corner elevation. Mr. Patal hoped to have things done in the next 60 days. Staff Member Tai reminded the board that this development was subject to Public Art and that was part of the consideration for the corner. Director Thomas added information on the timeline and that an Ad Hoc Subcommittee could be useful. Draft Planning Board Minutes Page 2 of 10 February 14, 2022 | PlanningBoard/2022-02-14.pdf |
