timeframes. This is kind of what I expect, not so much from the Commission but at the Council. Some of them, I think, are going to be relatively easy. I think this one is not going to be that hard for the Council to approve. There are some that may be controversial. Because theyre interim amendments and theyre stand-alones, theyre not like the comprehensive review which is more of a package. So I wouldnt have a problem with the Council acting separately on the various amendments. SIRACUSA:So we have no notion at this point which one of these things, the General Plan Amendment or this change of zone request, would come before the Council first? YUEN:Well, if you act on, its almost bound to get up to the Council before the General Plan Amendments do. ALAMEDA:Thank you. Commissioner Graham, I know you had a question earlier. Is itdirectedtotheDirectororMr.Tsukazaki? GRAHAM:ToMr.TsukazakifirstbutperhapstotheDirectoralso. ALAMEDA:Okay,goahead. GRAHAM:IwaskindoffollowingupinmythoughtsonCommissionerSalaveas comments about, you know, what future intensification of development could take place. And it seems to me looking at that park area that you spoke of that you, like on Kekuanaoa, I also feel like its like a public amenity to have a green open space park area there and all. And so, you know, I feel like that would be an asset to the application to have that somehow set into what were doing. So Im wondering, I would presume that the Planning Director can probably come up with an appropriate zoning designation where it could be used for the intention you have and not be turned into some commercial/industrial development in the future. So Im wondering if he was able to do that, come up with a different zoning than the CG-20 you have here which would permit you to use it as a park, is that okay with you? TSUKAZAKI:Just a moment. ALAMEDA:Mr. Director? YUEN:Well, Im going to jump in before he answers. ALAMEDA:Sure. YUEN:Before you answer, let me jump in? TSUKAZAKI:Go ahead, please. YUEN:Weve had this kind of discussion a lot. And because, you know, sometimes somebody does have say like a mortgage company, theyre asking for a CN zoning, there are a lot of different things that can be in the CN zoning. The site, the project itself does not look particularly offensive; but the potential ones do. All right? And so that has led the Commission at times to make very site specific conditions or recommend very site specific 23EXHIBIT C
