There have been multiple time extension requests from the applicant. I believe this extension is No. 7 for Condition I. So this has been over a long period of time that this particular Condition has been trying to be complied with. With that, are there any questions? DOMINGO: Mr. Chair? GRAHAM: Yes, Commissioner Domingo? DOMINGO: Thank you, Mr. Chair. To what extent, the development of the property is taking place? And what’s the status of the affordable housing requirements and the work that needs to be done addressing the flooding and drainage situation? DARROW: If I could, Commissioner Domingo, if I could defer that to the applicant’s representative. They have submitted information to us that details this, and it goes into detail regarding your question. So maybe he could be able to give a background on those particular issues. GRAHAM: Good. Thank you, Jeff. I’d also like to remind everybody right now we are supposed to leave for lunch at around noon. I do have four public testifiers I’d like to get in before then. I think they also have to leave and couldn’t come in the afternoon. So let’s try to go quickly, if we can. Commissioner Siracusa? SIRACUSA: Okay. Just very quickly. Considering that this is a seventh time a time extension has been requested, there’s nothing that indicates here how the Department is viewing this request, whether they’re looking at it favorably or if they just -. I would like to hear from the Director on that, if you tend favorably towards granting another time extension. GRAHAM: Mr. Yuen? YUEN: Well, at this point, to follow up on what Jeff was saying, they don’t need a time extension because they actually submitted plans and they received Plan Approval. They are in effect hedging their situation in that if – they submitted plans for a project that a certain potential buyer might want to do – and if that sale goes through, they might not want to do that type of project, you know. Plan Approval is pretty specific; it lays out your actual project, where the buildings are, how many units, where the parking spaces are, where your access roads are, and the like. So at this point, if that happens and they decide to pursue with their request, we will make a recommendation in due time before it’s presented to the Planning Commission for action, you know. But at this point, all we are, they are asking for deferral and we are fine with the deferral. SIRACUSA: Okay, that’s what I wanted to know. Thank you. GRAHAM: Yes, fine. Commissioner Watanabe? WATANABE: Yeah. It’s my understanding that by the time February comes around and if this deal does go through and the plan does change, then technically, you don’t have Final Plan rd Approval prior to the deadline of November 23. Is that correct? EXHIBIT B 3
