ALAMEDA:Seconded by Commissioner Galdones. Any further discussion? Commissioner Iwashita? IWASHITA:Just clarification. Does Commissioner Watanabes motion include the language just suggested by Corp Counsel as an amendment or is it just based on the straight unamended proposed conditions? WATANABE:As amended by Corp Counsel. IWASHITA:Thank you. ALAMEDA:Any further discussion? All right Commissioner Iwashita? IWASHITA:This is just a procedural concern. It appears to me that you know given wherewearetodayandtheopinionsexpressedbytheCommissionersthatatbestwerereally not going to have a decision this afternoon. So, I dont want to try and predict the future but if that appears to be the case then I guess consideration should be made to whether the applicant wants to have the matter continued so that the Commission can hear it at another time when there are more members here. ALAMEDA:I think weve had a little discussion on this previous. I dont know if our Commission all of our Commission members feel comfortable giving the applicant an opportunity. Commissioner Graham? GRAHAM:I just was thinking, like I, you know I cant feel good supporting it but I sure dont want to hold it up since a decisions going to be made at the Council anyway. And I remember at a prior meeting the Planning Director suggested something about-, and this was in regard to the Subdivision Code that we could sort of send it forward to the Council with just a record of our vote, which you know I didnt support in that instance but I would certainly support that in this instance if we wanted to do something like that then move it forward. In other words if we cant give a- because of not having a big quorum here, if we cant give a clean vote on it Im certainly willing to pass it up to the Council with the vote that we have if thats suitable to the, to our Counsel here Mr. Torigoe, if he feels like thats appropriate? ALAMEDA:Mr. Torigoe any comment? TORIGOE:Thank you Mr. Chairman. Well basically under the zoning code 25-, lets see where is it? 25-2-44B, it says the changes or alterations of conditions are processed in the same manner as a zone change. And then the zone change, and theres a 90-day window you know and weve been talking about you know when we feel like its the obligation of the Commission to wrestle with these matters within that 90-day window to see if something intelligent can be sent up to the County Council rather than just kind of default and say that we cant make a decision. And I dont know where we are in the 90-day window now. Maybe Staff can enlighten us on that. But basically if it fails, if you fail to take any action today and were still within the 90-day window you know it could still reappear on the agenda. EXHIBIT A 19
