Discussion tbllowed: Vice Chairman Mullin stated
the description of Paradise Valley is being looked at
as a mixed development and residential, which he
was unaware of, and asked if that is a new element;
staff did some preliminary analysis of 100 retail uses
and those came back negative and staff asked them
to explore other options for some sort of a learning
center and residential; it is just not large enough for
a marketing use, so we could not get a track on that
and staff asked for a feasibility analysis, and that is
what they came up with; the Vice Chairman was
trying to visualize what kind of residential compo-
nents will exist; the preliminary design is for 88
elderly housing units, two bedroom and some one
bedrooms tbr low income with a retail use, and a
portion can be used for a learning center; there have
been many complaints in the area on the inadequacy
of shopping; does Terrabay propose a large super
market; no; so, we are looking at a whole section,
the north easterly section of the City that has no
retail facility available; staff has put that out to the
major retailers, however, they are looking for larger
space; that area is dramatically under served in retail
and as the homes fill out the Vice Chairman is
mystified why there is not some interest by some
kind of a Draeger's Market or something else; there
is no interest at all; Safeway has closed stores in
S.S.F. and it is difficult to get others interested; is
the Agency getting plans for Willow Gardens; staff
has gone through 3 or 4 designs on the Willow
Gardens, an appraisal has been done and staff has to
see how it will pencil out cost wise; staff is seeking
money through State and County applications; there
are a variety of consultant services, including design
for Willow Gardens and are asking Mid-Peninsula
Housing Coalition to look at other sites; Executive
Director stated staff has to come back to the
Council saying, here is what we want to do both on
the individual property and on the public properties;
staff expects to submit a detailed report to Council
not later than January that might include modifica-
