ability to ask for a revised traffic study. And if that revised traffic study as adopted by the County contains additional improvements to area roadways, then so be it. We could require that those improvements be provided. KUBOTA:Okay. I understand that. So my understanding was essent correct. ARAI:That is correct. KUBOTA:Okay. I followed your explanation. Now when the Applica comes in with a request, and this is for information purposes on have a proposed development plan that they come in with and they say that the request is for elderly, what do they call it now, independent living residential community-type format, when and where, or how soon can they change that or can they change it? Because, as you say, theyÓre coming in for change of zone. With they can do it. But when they come in with a plan and they sell us on their intent, I mean, is it wide open on granting of this change? What am I saying, how, how stringent are we on keeping them to their intended purpose for which we were sold? ARAI:That is a very, very good question. You know, excuse me, m IÓm wrong but in my mind thereÓs no physical difference between an independent living facility or a regular condominium as far as structure. And we basically approve structures, right -? KUBOTA:Right. ARAI:When we do plan approvals and the like? So youÓre correct that if they donÓt inform us, they could easily convert it over into a regular type of condo. Say, for example, if itÓs already built as an independent residential community but they donÓt get the type of sales they anticipated. IÓm suspecting that, you know, theyÓre going to have to advertise in the papers and stuff. So, you know, eventually we will be aware if there is a potential change in use. And as a condition in this ordinance which is law, should it be adopted by the Council, it gives us the authority and the leverage to go and ask them to provide the necessary revised traffic studies and address the potential traffic impacts. KUBOTA:Okay. YUEN:Just to follow up on the answers, a good answer to a good question -. Normally, we see somebody come in with a particular development proposal or scenario requesting a change of zone, unless we put special conditions on the change of zone, they can do a bait of switch. Whether they start out that way or not, very often market conditions change and if you have the zoning, thereÓs a list of things that you are allowed to do in the zoning, and you can do all of those things. For example, somebody may come in for a Commercial zone but you can build -. If you get a Village Commercial zone, for example, they may come in and say I want to do a convenience 4
