we do after all only send then a recommendation to the Council, that they provide some assurances that the affordable housing condition is not -. And Im not exactly sure how you word it, but, you know, it couldnt be used or offset just by transfer to family members or something to that effect. YUEN:Well, I dont think that we want to make that decision at the Planning Commission as to whether or not, as to how the policy applies. The condition as it stands is fine. It just says that the applicant shall comply with the affordable housing policy. I do think that by the time the rezone is done, we should be explicit as to what happens in a conveyance to a family member if theyre going in-lieu. But that is, the Chapter 11 is an ordinance, its within the Councils purview. We have a condition that, if the condition goes through as stated, the applicant will have to comply with the affordable housing policy. We would have to get a reading from the Council as to how they want to apply it in a situation where there may be a legitimate nonfinancial transfer to family members. So I think that as far as at this stage, its fine tohavethisdiscussion.Wevehadthisdiscussionwiththeapplicant,buttheconditionworksas worded. ALAMEDA:Commissioner Iwashita. IWASHITA:Condition M, the last sentence says that this requirement shall be approved by the Administrator of the Office of Housing and Community Development prior to final subdivision approval. Is that your understanding, Mr. Raymond? I just want to make sure that you understand that before -, this says before you actually get final subdivision approval and a right to sell or transfer lots you have to come to a, or get the approval of the Administrator of Office of Housing and Community Development of how youre going to meet the affordable housing requirement. Is that your understanding? RAYMOND:Yes, it is. IWASHITA:Then you understand that no transfers of any lot can be had until that approval is had? RAYMOND:Yes, yes, I do. Thank you. IWASHITA:Thank you. ALAMEDA:Very good, Commissioner Iwashita. Thank you for pointing that out. Other questions? Commissioner Springer, and then Commissioner Siracusa following. SPRINGER:Good morning, Mr. Raymond. RAYMOND:Good morning. SPRINGER:Im looking at a correspondence dated March 1, 2005 where it mentions that the property came off a 99-year lease from Parker Ranch. RAYMOND:Yes. 10EXHIBIT A
