SIRACUSA:I have a procedural question, and Im not sure if I should be asking Jeff or Ivan or the Director. This is the first time Ive ever seen us get anything where we are dealing with two parcelsthat are not contiguous. And Im wondering when the time comes to vote, I assume well be taking separate motions on the State Land Use Boundary amendment and separate ones on the Change of Zone. Im wondering if well also be taking special separate motions on the Change of Zone for each parcel, or is it going to be all bunched together. GRAHAM:Commissioner Siracusa, my understanding is that this whole thing is put together as one package. And although it is different than what we usually encounter, I think were going to be making a decision on the one package. But Ill ask -. SIRACUSA:So for clarity, then if I like one part and not the other part, I have to make a choice one way or the other? Its an all or nothing thing, is that correct? GRAHAM:Ibelieveso.Mr.Torigoe,doyouhavecomments? TORIGOE:Well,Ithinkthisisaninterestingsituationbecauseasyounoted,asyou look at the materials, it is presented as a package. And if you are planning on trying to split the matter, and deal with it parcel by parcel, then that probably would require further discussion with the developer and with the Planning Department because I think its all kind of integrated. GRAHAM:And maybe I can just indicate to the -. DOMINGO:Excuse me. Excuse me, Mr. Chairman. GRAHAM:To the applicant that you could, at that point when you make your presentation, discuss this issue also. Yes, Commissioner Domingo. DOMINGO:Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Did I hear it right that if doing the deliberation of the issues, then we can suggest to separate the issues, or -? There is no other alternative but to consider both applications together? GRAHAM:My sense, Commissioner Domingo, is thats where we are starting. But as we go through the process today, if we come to a point where the Commissioners want to do something different, we can ask Mr. Torigoe for approval and probably proceed the way we would like to. DOMINGO:But, you know, whats compelling here is that even if we do separate the issues and if we decide to deliberate on the Land Use Boundary amendment first, it would not be - I dont know what words to use, but -. You know, the fact is that particular property would be given to the Housing Foundation only and being contingent upon the rezoning granted to the applicant; and there I find it very difficult to really separate that. You know, we can separate it, but it would not mean a thing because all is contingent upon the acquisition of the rezoning of the 20-acre to 10-acre zoning issue. GRAHAM:I think its a helpful issue you brought up because the applicant will have that in mind, as well as the Commissioners here. I think what we should do is go ahead and 3EXHIBIT A
