City Council Meeting Minutes December 6, 2016 Page 7 of 15 Councilmember Leh said it doesn't make sense to only adopt part of the Plan; it likewise doesn't make sense to keep amending the Plan over and over. The residents aren't in so much of a hurry to pass this when important information could still be added to make a better decision. Mayor Pro Tem Lipton made a motion to direct staff to bring back a plan at the next meeting to approve the east side of the Small Area Pian and continue work on the west side. Councilmember Keany seconded the motion. Director Zuccaro stated it would be difficult to adopt a Plan that bifurcates the background information. Mayor Pro Tem Lipton withdrew the motion. Mayor Muckle asked if it would be possible to adopt the Plan and include language that the west side of McCaslin Boulevard will be reevaluated. Councilmember Maloney stated he would like a Plan for the whole area, not have one broken up in pieces. Councilmember Leh made a motion to put the Plan on hold until after there can be a study session to which the public, landowners, and developers have all been invited to give input. He would like to delay any vote on the Plan until more information is gathered. Mayor Pro Tem Lipton seconded but stated it may require more time than just one study session. He would like it continued without the study session limitation. He made a friendly amendment to continue it until staff can bring it back with additional information. Attorney Light noted Council cannot have substantive discussion or give direction at a study session, for more flexibility it should be continued to a meeting (regular or special) for discussion/direction. Mayor Muckle made an intervening motion to continue to the meeting of January 17. Seconded by Councilmember Keany. Councilmember Maloney offered a friendly amendment that height and setback limits be addressed at the next meeting. Mayor Muckle stated at the next meeting he would also like more information on Transit - Oriented Development. Attorney Light asked if there were any objections to acting on the intervening motion first. No objections. A vote was taken and all were in favor of continuing the Plan until January 17th. Director Zuccaro asked what items Council would like covered on January 17th Members stated they would like to see Transit -Oriented Development principals and language and input from public and property owners about what would be beneficial to development of the business park. 721 GRANT AVENUE LANDMARK & PRESERVATION GRANT
