Called to order at 9:08pm. Council Bl asked Scott Donnell for rent? Disapprove housing element does not have anything to do with... Buena Vista Creek Valley if 100 acre developed and panhandle piece. Hsg element on Quarry area is 165 units. hsg element 32 acres of 100 should be med to high density. Bl-re: protecting El Salto falls, etc. asked if will be protected. Scott agreed. Bl-why wasn't xx picked. Scott Donnell said because xx had office space and possible two car dealtherships Scott- 2 deadlines, avoid two hsg deadlines. In order to meet deadlines, pass sooner rather than later. State has 90 days to make ruling
Mayor Pro Tem Kulchin... asked re: mailing. Home owners associations, large groups. No 600 ft radius done because it was not about building projects. Re: saving the falls. Ron Ball- said noticed in the paper
CM Hall asked if we have approved the highest density for the village. Scott Donnell said yes, up to 35 u/acre. Nov 18th availablity of Quarry Ck .... ensure restraints are taken care of.
Mayor Lewis.. 54 units +, reduced hsg bank by 3K units. Left 2900 units. If used those 2900, Scott said those would still be adequate to meet the requirement that the State is asking us. Within these quadrants, so many of these are designated, or some have more thatn others. how did to choose the selection of the sties?
Scott... sites part of the general plan... directs us to the barrio and the other areas.
Mayor asked if raising the density to 15% more. Scott said the density will still NOT accept that. Minimum density is seen by the State as necessary for lower income.
Mayor...SANDAG ... go through . Asked what punishment from the state? Scott-w/out adopted Hsg. Sandag used points. (received 200K per day) losing out of ? $ per year becos we don't have an adopted hsg element. ???
Ron Ball wanted to expand... economic part if not have an adopted hsg element. if our hsg element is considered ineligible.. or certified.
CM Blackburn noted people who have helped him understand. He doesn't want high density forced upon us by the State. But there are severe consequenses... By approving the hsg element I am not approving the building projects. When any project is brought, we need to judge it on it's own merits.
CM Hall said there is much complexity in this issue. He asked S-H-C a question. When a project comes before us, the citizens ask for a decrease in density. People here from Aviara, there were 2800 units, the Council cut the project by around 1,000 units. Robertson Ranch-units were knocked also. State mandates that we have to show where we will place the density. We don't have to build it. The Council is steadfast on that. We are going to do whatever we can to widen the Buena Vista Creek. We have 40% open space in the City. It is not free. We have acquired most of it through developers. We as a community, where do we place density to satisfy State requirements. The staff has done a very good job to place this density. I can support the recommendation.

Mayor Lewis declared a recess at 9:00 p.m.
Called to order at 9:08pm. Council Bl asked Scott Donnell for rent? Disapprove housing element does not have anything to do with... Buena Vista Creek Valley if 100 acre developed and panhandle piece. Hsg element on Quarry area is 165 units. hsg element 32 acres of 100 should be med to high density. Bl-re: protecting El Salto falls, etc. asked if will be protected. Scott agreed. Bl-why wasn't xx picked. Scott Donnell said because xx had office space and possible two car dealtherships Scott- 2 deadlines, avoid two hsg deadlines. In order to meet deadlines, pass sooner rather than later. State has 90 days to make ruling
Mayor Pro Tem Kulchin... asked re: mailing. Home owners associations, large groups. No 600 ft radius done because it was not about building projects. Re: saving the falls. Ron Ball- said noticed in the paper
CM Hall asked if we have approved the highest density for the village. Scott Donnell said yes, up to 35 u/acre. Nov 18th availablity of Quarry Ck .... ensure restraints are taken care of.
Mayor Lewis.. 54 units +, reduced hsg bank by 3K units. Left 2900 units. If used those 2900, Scott said those would still be adequate to meet the requirement that the State is asking us. Within these quadrants, so many of these are designated, or some have more thatn others. how did to choose the selection of the sties?
Scott... sites part of the general plan... directs us to the barrio and the other areas.
Mayor asked if raising the density to 15% more. Scott said the density will still NOT accept that. Minimum density is seen by the State as necessary for lower income.
Mayor...SANDAG ... go through . Asked what punishment from the state? Scott-w/out adopted Hsg. Sandag used points. (received 200K per day) losing out of ? $ per year becos we don't have an adopted hsg element. ???
Ron Ball wanted to expand... economic part if not have an adopted hsg element. if our hsg element is considered ineligible.. or certified.
CM Blackburn noted people who have helped him understand. He doesn't want high density forced upon us by the State. But there are severe consequenses... By approving the hsg element I am not approving the building projects. When any project is brought, we need to judge it on it's own merits.
CM Hall said there is much complexity in this issue. He asked S-H-C a question. When a project comes before us, the citizens ask for a decrease in density. People here from Aviara, there were 2800 units, the Council cut the project by around 1,000 units. Robertson Ranch-units were knocked also. State mandates that we have to show where we will place the density. We don't have to build it. The Council is steadfast on that. We are going to do whatever we can to widen the Buena Vista Creek. We have 40% open space in the City. It is not free. We have acquired most of it through developers. We as a community, where do we place density to satisfy State requirements. The staff has done a very good job to place this density. I can support the recommendation.
