application that already exists or is this something that is contingent on the passage of the <br />previous amendment that we were just discussing which referred to seven lot subdivisions. <br />ARAI: Well, I can definitively say that there is no such thing currently as an <br />application for a subdivision of seven or more lots. There is no such thing currently. <br />DARROW: Okay, I think what the issue is is that in the previous proposed amendment <br />by the County Council, the one we just finished reviewing, there is an added subsection (e) under <br />Section 23-58, and that is an application for subdivision of seven or more lots. So this is actually <br />something that is not in place at this time but is proposed. And so, with that, they’re also <br />referring to this proposed amendment under the previous initiated bill, also inclusive of this <br />amendment. Is that clear? <br />SIRACUSA: Yeah, now it’s clear. And that’s one of the possibilities that I thought of. <br />So technically if the other one fails then this one we can’t even consider this. Because it’s based <br />on something that doesn’t exist right now and would have to be passed since it’s only proposed <br />at this point. <br />ALAMEDA: Are there other questions for Mr. Darrow? Mr. Arai? All right, this is <br />another agenda item that I think will be continued. Mr. Darrow, do you have anything else to <br />add or -? <br />DARROW: No. If you folks are finished with discussion, we can go ahead and <br />continue the matter until the next meeting. <br />IWASHITA: Mr. Chair? <br />ALAMEDA: Sure, Commissioner Iwashita. <br />IWASHITA: Thank you, Mr. Chair. Again, normally I would have reserved my <br />comments to probably the next meeting, but because of the long agenda where we’re going to <br />have -. I just wanted to, on the planned community development plan, these two particular types <br />of developments, you know, developers -. What I would really like to see and what I think the <br />Deputy Director referred to in part was, you know, how these can be creatively used to <br />implement things that aren’t really provided for in the rest of the planning laws. And that’s <br />really good. And I really think that, or the point I wanted to make was that, you know, from all <br />of our perspectives what we really want to do is end up with a system where developers have, <br />you know, have a real clear path on how to get their “entitlements,” because they need that to get <br />the financing done. And if you don’t get the financing done, you know, if there’s no clear path <br />on how to get to the financing, the project is not going to get done.So, again, you know, our <br />laws, to the extent we implement what we have, and you all know what I’m talking about, <br />community development plans, if that’s done, that should be done in a way where the developers <br />can look at where their land is located and say here is a clear path to what can be done on this <br />property. And if, you know, it’s for a residential subdivision or it’s for higher density residential <br />use or it’s for commercial, or whatever it is, you know, whatever the community development <br />plan says it is going to be used for and that the community agrees, that the Council approves it, <br />the developer has it. The developer then knows he can come to the Planning Department and <br /> EXHIBIT C 4 <br /> <br /> <br />
