Members are appointed by Council to ~epresent business owners, business tenants and residents from within the Project Area and s,=rve as a resource to advise and provide comments on redevelopment matters affecting :he Town Centre I and II Redevelopment Project Areas. The TCPAC is no longer operating Jnder the State of California mandated responsibilities for Project Area Committees under Heallh and Safety Code Sections 33385 through 33388. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the TCPAC will review and make recommendations on any and all proposed amendments to the Town Centre I or II Redevelopment Plans. ROLE AND FUNCTION The TCPAC reviews all projects requiring discretionary la~d use approvals by the Redevelopment Agency and/or City Council through Conditional I se Permits/Special Permits, Zone Changes and other land use permits as specifically allowed ursuant to the Town Centre I and II Redevelopment Plans and the Town Centre Procedures I~ anual. Projects that do not require discretionary approval by the Agency or Council and/or :hose that can be approved "administratively" as set forth in the Municipal Code (e.g. a non-di ;cretionary site plan review) are not to be reviewed by the TCPAC. In addition, Variances ar not to be reviewed by the TCPAC unless it is included as part of a project that requires a di: cretinary land use approval as described above. Variances will be handled "administrativel ", and those variances that cannot be decided administratively, will be forwarded directly to he Redevelopment Agency. The primary role of the TCPAC is to evaluate projects brought be 3re them in terms of overall land use appropriateness, general economic impact of land use c~ anges, and related planning and zoning issues. The TCPAC is to receive and review the proje, site plan and all applicable materials submitted to the City in support of the developme~ application including the respective environmental documents. However, the review of ti" environmental documents (Environmental Impact Reports or Negative Declarations) is to use hem as tools for evaluating the project, and not to review them in terms of the adequacy of he document itself. The TCPAC will also continue their role as the Parking Place £ ommission. It shall review parking improvements, procurement, regulations, fee structure, en orcement, and revenues and expenditures related to the parking facilities provided in the Toy rn Centre I project area. As the Commission, they will forward recommendations to the :edevelopment Agency/City Council as appropriate. In addition to all of the above, a final sec( ~dary role is to also evaluate project characteristics relative to the site plan, or "site specific" i ;sues related to safety such as pedestrian/traffic safety, internal traffic patterns/circulatiol~, parking, lighting, notice, signage, and drainage. A more focused review of the above ;tated issues along with all environmental impacts and building design/aesthetics will be perfcrmed by the RCC and Design Review Committee (DRC) respectfully. Landscaping is to be re~'iewed and approved by the City's Landscape Architect.
