After discussion, the City Attorney advised that the Redevelopment Agency could not properly offer assistance, and that the 4th line from the bottom of 15a, which reads "securing of construction", be changed to read "securing and commencing construction." Mr. Robinson addressed his changed Condition 21 requesting that this park requirement be changed to retaining one acre to include the buffer as a passive park, or an "in lieu" fee for a regional park, and gave his reasons for the request. In answer to Councilmember McCandliss' disappointment in the amount of warehousing which exists in the area, as opposed to a preferred higher level of manufacturing or industrial build out in the area, Mr. Robinson referred to the control of this by the underlying zoning and advisablility of being flexible; and that the developer will discuss this and the Design Standards issue during the development agreement process.

As a result of meetings, the City and CALTRANS agreed to improvement by a realignment of both the north and southbound ramps and the installation of all-way stops.

REPORT CREATION OF HERITAGE PARK ON SECOND AVENUE (Director of Planning) A detailed evaluation was made of three options involving the Second Avenue properties. The first two options involve City participation in the purchase and recycling of lots for either an active Heritage Park or passive Heritage Row. The third option would result in a Heritage District and may or may not involve City acquisition of sites. To further pursue any of the options, staff recommended direction to refine the analysis accordingly to include a proposed implementation program and schedule, preliminary estimates of costs and potential revenues, and a program for review ad input on the proposal by effected property owners and surrounding residents. MSUC (McCandliss/Malcolm) to refer this item to the Resource Conservation Commission, the Parks and Recreation Commission and the Planning Commission for review and report back to City Council. 9.

Councilman Malcolm questioned whether sites should be designated without full consent of the property owner. Staff outlined the two different levels of designation, one which has no effect on the owner other than the display of the plaque while the second level does have some implications which will be made known to the property owner. Jessie Pruit, 503 G Street and Peter de Graff 665 del Mar, submitted letters requesting no designation of their homes. Ruth Weatherbee, 178 Cypress Street, stated that her home has been designated and inquired about implications. Laura Smith, 435 First Avenue, questioned the status of her home, which was built in 1916. The Director of Planning explained the homes included in the first 27 sites mentioned in the report are recognized to be historical structures with no restrictions made on the owner, while the designation of homes at 614, 616, 642 and 644 Second Avenue would have controls which have been agreed to by the owners. MSUC (McCandliss/Nader) to accept staff's recommendation, with the exception that consideration of #16 and #21 will be continued; to include consideration of 10 Second Avenue; and to direct staff to prepare a letter to be presented to the property owner at the time of designation explaining what is involved.
