PUBLIC HEARING - GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT AND ZONE CHANGE
4.1)
General Plan Amendment and Zone Change P99-0435 - Jeffries Brothers
(Continued from September 17, 1999)
Staff reported that subsequent to the last meeting three weeks ago, while
researching the Cai State Master Plan, we unearthed a 1966 Council Resolution,
staff interpreted the Resolution to be that the City and Cai State would cooperate
on land use within the area. The wording is funny, but clearly the intent is that if
Cai State were built at that site, that we will cooperate with them in what goes in
around that area.
Commissioner Sprague inquired of staff if there is a restriction in the deed on the
property regarding the use of the property to which Mr. Grady responded that he
has not seen the document, but he has been told that there are CC&R's
associated with this property.
Commissioner Sprague states that he supports the project and would support the
general plan amendment and zone change but unfortunately wont be present
Thursday night to vote.
Commissioner Kemper inquired of staff if them were any other options that could
be explored like money or trading to get around this. She indicated that she tikes
the location, the project itself, but inquired if there were any other ideas to which
staff responded that would involve coming to a conclusion other than staff's
recommendation, which would then go to City Council with a Commission
recommendation. Commissioner Kemper inquired if Cai State has been in
Minutes, PC, Monday, October 4, 1999

negotiations to which staff responded that he was not aware of the
communications between Cai State and Jeffries Brothers, and it should be
brought up at Thursday's meeting.
Commissioner Brady inquired if for Thursday night staff could refresh their
memories about the issues that came up with the service station during the GPA
analysis and the application for the Market Place. Commissioner Brady also
inquired what the distance of the proposed project is from the entrance of Cai
State to which staff responded that it is not directly across from the entrance to
the school. Commissioner Brady inquired if staff would request that somebody
from Cai State be present for Thursday's meeting to which staff responded in the
affirmative.
Commissioner Brady confirmed that the only reason staff changed its mind is
based on Cai State's letter to which staff affirmed.
Commissioner Boyle asked Mr. Hernandez if he could provide additional
information as to what is legally required for working in close harmony with a
state college, and also find out what attempts have been made for the college to
cooperate in this process in terms of what they are suggesting as an alternative,
and if there have been any follow up negotiations.
Chairman Tkac stated that the project is well placed and felt that Cai State's
letter was ambiguous and is not sure that they have veto power. Chairman Tkac
stated that he supports the project completely.
Item moved to Thursday, October 7, 1999.

PUBLIC SCOPING MEETING - ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
Staff report stated that the applicant is requesting that the scoping session be continued
to November 4, as they are still working out the industry concerns regarding the size of
the project and have not finalized what the project is going to be.
Commissioner Brady inquired that if and when this does come back if staff could provide
a list of the industries/companies involved in the negotiations on this project for purposes
of determining whether any of the Commissioners have a conflict of interest, to which
staff replied in the affirmative.
No further Commissioner comments.
