Mayor Dunin declared the public hearing open. Vic Montgomery, 772 Mill Street, thought that the zone idea was a good one but it should be optional rather than required. If required, financing could be a problem for some projects. He also did not want it to be reactionary and that a property owner would be told exactly what he could or could not do with his property. He felt that the process if implemented now would be more difficult than a planned development project. He believed that the use permit requirement would be redundant. Mayor Dunin declared the public hearing closed. Councilwoman Pinard expressed concern about the possible loss of residential zoning. She felt that the original idea was to add residential to commercial areas because of safety reasons particularly for nighttime use. These regulations seem to be going in the opposite direction. She suggested an amendment to the mixed -use zone under Purpose that would read °The City desires the safety provided by including residential components in commercial areas and identifies housing as the City's number one priority". Councilwoman Rapp@ also expressed concern about the use permit being required. Mayor Dunin preferred making the requirement optional. Councilman Reiss was concerned that financing for next years projects would be difficult and in some cases, only way to get financing would be to change the zoning from residential to commercial. After discussion, moved by Ranpa /Reiss to introduce Ordinance No. 1210 to print in summary form, approving a negative declaration of environmental impact and adding a mixed -use zone to the Zoning Regulations with amendments to the Purpose to delete the word "required" to include the language provided by Councilwoman Pinard to read "The City desires the safety provided by including residential components in commercial areas and identifies housing as the City's number one priority°; and an amendment to Section 17.5.040 subsection B (1) to read "Sites specific property development standards are needed to protect all or000sed uses in particular, residential and other all Proposed uses of the site°. Motion carried (5-0). City Council Meeting Page 6 Tuesday, May 19, 1992 - 7:00 P.M. MAP - 9 POINSETTA File No. 410 3.

Moved by Roalman /Ragga to deny the request to make the water available to the Villa Rosa project consistent with previous Council direction. 1 City Council Meeting Page 7 Tuesday, May 19, 1992 - 7:00 P.M. Councilman Reiss felt this project was in the right direction to reach the City's goal to provide affordable housing in the community. Mayor Dunin agreed.

Arnold Jonas, Community Development Director, reviewed the agenda report with the 1 recommendation that after review of the project concept plans that Council give direction to staff and the applicant regarding whether or not it wished to act as a lead agency in processing and preparing the Environmental Impact Report. Mayor Dunin asked for public comment. Keith Gurnee representing the principals of Los Nomadas, stated that the real question before the Council was whether or not the City wish to be the lead agency and retain control over this project. The applicant had submitted complete applications to both the City and County agencies. Mayor Dunin declared the public comment period closed. Councilman Roalman believed the property is inappropriate for annexation. He felt that to be a lead agency would in essence be °leap- frogging° into the Edna Valley. Councilman Reiss believed it was in the City's best interest to be the lead agency so that it would also have control over the direction of the project.
