The Commission discussed the roll of the. Parking Place districts in the City and, in particular, the Downtown.

Staff was directed to request a meeting with a subcommittee of Councilmembers to discuss the future of the Downtown.

Chief Planner Solomon suggested that rather than completing working out the details of the trade-offs to be provided for exceptions being granted, that the staff prepare the findings for the Commission at this time and that the details be brought back as an ordinance or resolution setting standards. The staff was asked to bring this item back soon. Work Program Chief Planner Solomon went through the scope of the work program with the Planning Commission noting that it contained all the projects that had been set forth by the Planning Commission and City Council and generally discussed these individual items. Staff noted that because of the increasing workload and decreasing staffing that it was unlikely that staff would be able to complete the "A" priorities. The Commission concurred that the East of 101 plan would be the number one priority. The Commission gave the following directions: · that "A" priority be given to single-family design review procedures, · that the institutional use study be broken up into two parts leaving the Brentwood/Avalon Park regulations as an "A" priority and moving a city-wide institutional use ordinance to a "B" priority, · that the duplex ordinance, the Colma Creek Flood Control District Task Force and non-conforming issues - abandonment policy be moved down to the "B" category, · that the Zoning Ordinance update be moved up to an "A" category, . that standards for decks be moved from a "B" to a "C", . that the useable open space standard by added to the "B" list. Review of sketch plan for BART station site The Commission concurred that the BART station alternative number one was close to their objectives. Staff was directed to prepare a drawing which was more conceptual or schematic to convey the basic design objectives. The plan should be revised to include second-story connectors between the parking structure and the station.
