Mack opened the public hearing. Mr. Gailey advised the Commission that as a result of the Planning Commission meeting of March 3, 1986, three areas of discussion remained open. He said the Staff Report of March 17, 1968, attempted to provide additional background information, and he referred to the eight documents listed on page 2 of the Staff Report. He indicated these documents were items necessitating formal response which had been received in response to the January 31, 1986, Expanded Initial Study or the Septemer 7, 1985, Notice of Preparation document. Mr. Gailey stated that those eight documents would be entitled "Responses to Comments" and would be incorporated into the Expanded Initial Study. Mr. Gailey said that Staff had met with the developer since the meeting of March 3, 1986, at which time additional minor adjustments to the recommended Conditions of Approval were hammered out, and Staff was prepared to recommend approval of the project. Mr. Gailey referred to Condition #86 of Exhibit B, and said the Condition had been revised to allow, in certain instances, the minimum separation between buildings to be reduced from 20 to 15 feet, subject to review and approval by the Planning Director through the site Development Review Process. Mr. Gailey referred to the charts in Attachment 28 which were prepared in response to the four-to-one consensus direction of the Planning Commission at the March 3, 1986, meeting to modify Village VII to a single family residential section, He advised the Commissioners that Staff wanted to facilitate the Commission's understanding of the magnitude of the impact on the project such a change would have. Mr. Gailey reviewed the revisions made to Condition #84, Exhibit B. Mr. Nahas said the only issue with which he could not agree was the modification of Village VII to a single family residential area. He stated that he felt the development as submitted would be in compliance with the General Plan. He expr'essed his desire that Condition #1 of Exhibit B not designate the maximum number of units until the Tentative Map for Village VII had been submitted. Mr. Rafanelli concurred with Mr. Nahas' statements. Regular Meeting PCM-6-34 March 17, 1986 _ ' • • On motion by Cm. Raley, and seconded by Cm.

Mr. Gailey advised the Conditions suggested had been submitted for review by the City Engineer, who suggested minor revisions which had been incorporated into the draft Conditions. Discussion centered around the General Provisions outlined on page 2 of Exhibit B. In response to CmT Petty's suggestion that the minimum average level lot pad size be specified at 6,000 square feet, Mr. Nahas stated that he did not believe the suggestion to be in line with the_requirements of the General Plan and that in his opi.~ion it would be inequi-table to apply such a Condition to the project at this stage of the pracess. He referred to the 90 acres of open space adjoining the site to the west and the proposed park which would be placed at the entrance of the project. He said that the site of the single family lots could not be compared to the Ponderosa project. Mr. Rafanelli expressed his concern regarding the change in direction presented at the meeting, and stated that the developer's ability to work with the City was impacted greatly by the criteria which was being considered.

Barnes expressed concern that the commercial center would increase the traffic on Amador Valley Boulevard, and said she would prefer to have the commercial center eliminated, Mr. Gailey referred to the traffic study performed by TJKM, which indicated the presence of the center should actually reduce the amount of traffic in that area.
