5. STANDING ITEM: PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION OF DEVELOPMENT ITEMS.
Planning & Development Director Ron Ruthven presented this item to the Commission. He
stated that there were few updates for the Commission regarding development. Mr.
Ruthven stated that construction of single-family residences continues in several
neighborhoods.
Mr. Ruthven then noted that there was one item in particular that he wanted to provide an
update on. This pertained to a policy for the Commission and the Town Council regarding
new development applications that staff would like to implement by the May meeting
schedule. The pertained to on-site visits where a new development application has been
filed and is pending consideration by the Commission and the Town Council. He then stated
that these on-site visits would occur with staff to allow members to better visualize the
developments that are being considered.
Assistant Town Manager Jarrod Greenwood stated that that the next meeting would be held
jointly with the Town Council on May 3rd at the Marriott.
Commissioner Lee asked if credentials could be issued or names be given in gated
neighborhoods, which would allow the Commission to go to these sites on their own
schedules. Mr. Ruthven indicated that it was likely that this could be done, however a notice
of quorum would need to be posted 72 hours in advance if two (2) or more members were
present for any tour, and no discussion should ensue among the Commissioners.
6. CONTINUE A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER RECOMMENDATION OF
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO ORDINANCES 720 AND 918 APPROVING AND
AMENDING THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE PD1-2 ZONING DISTRICT,
KNOWN AS “WESTLAKE ENTRADA”, LOCATED NORTH OF SOLANA BLVD., EAST
OF DAVIS BLVD., AND SOUTH OF STATE HIGHWAY 114.
Commission Chairman Brittan introduced this item, and asked Mr. Ruthven if Items 6, 7, 8,
and 9 could be addressed at one time, rather than individually. Mr. Ruthven responded that
these items could be tabled by the Commission and the Public Hearings would then be re-
opened, as these Items were not ready for a vote at this meeting. Town Attorney Matthew
Butler confirmed that Items 6, 7, 8, and 9 could be tabled in one motion and then addressed
as a single public hearing.
Mr. Ralph Bush with Bush Architects addressed the Commission. He stated that the
Commission had asked for additional information on Items 6, 7, 8, and 9 at the previous
meeting, and a schedule would be provided at the next meeting in May. He stated that this
was a bit difficult, as the zoning ordinances are very involved with the details of the project.

Mr. Bush then presented to the Commission a proposed site plan of the Residential
Repository, located on Block “C”. Since the last meeting, the design has been converted to
storefronts rather than garage doors. Additionally, 24,00 square feet of future office space
has been added to prevent the project from requiring two zoning cases. Mr. Bush then
showed various renderings of topography and the updated Site Plan, which includes
additional parking. Mr. Bush then noted that the repository would contain 154 storage
units, and 334 residential units. Block “G” would contain seven (7) homes, and Block “H”
would contain six (homes). Block “N” would contain nine (9) condominium units with mixed-
use retail on the first floor and underground parking. Block “B” would be an outdoor
entertainment component, as the amphitheater has been removed. Additional amenities
were also shown to the Commission, and additional information would be presented at the
next meeting.
The Public Hearing and vote for Items 6, 7, 8, and 9 were conducted as a single item.
