Mark Van Pernis <br />4. Applicant/developers often apply for up -zoning and subdivision wth no intention whatsoever to develop, and no <br />financial capability to do so. They apply so that the conditions and contributions other proposed development will get <br />set, ONLY BASED AT THE TIME APPLICATION IS MADE! The applicant/developer implies or misrepresents it's going to <br />develop in the time the ordinance will state (e.g. 5 years). But that can be knowing misrepresentation. Five to fifteen <br />year extensions/delays are then obtained from the PD, and then further extensions and delays are sought from the <br />• LPC. All these delays are obtained without public review and upgrading of the conditions/infrastructure/affordable <br />housing. There are ten to twenty thousand approved residential units unbuilt, many with affordable housing <br />components. <br />5. Requiring the ordinance maker, here the CC, to consider and act on any amendments or extension of an ordinance, is <br />modern land planning, from New York City to San Luis Obispo. <br />6. Public confidence in land planning would be greatly increased if the present broken system, which is tipped in the <br />applicant's developer's favor, is replaced with this modern and responsive system. <br />7. The possibilities of corruption would be reduced or eliminated. <br />8. A huge number of matters coming before the LPC are requests for time extensions, without any additional <br />conditions/infrastructure/affordab and housing arising because of the lengthy delays. Very often, the delays are just for <br />more time to find a buyer for the approved project and to facilitate a sale. The Commissions==================Bill <br />
