KAY: Well, because we --. BEAUDET: -- if we were to change the, yeah. KAY: Because we recommended unfavorable, we did not prepare any conditions of approval, or favorable conditions. So we would need the opportunity to draft standard and application-specific conditions. KANUHA: Mr. Chairman and Members of the Commission, in essence what we would be doing is we would be providing you a favorable recommendation with, there is a number of standard conditions that go along with favorable recommendations, so those standard conditions would be included for your consideration, as well as, you know, any applicable conditions that apply just to this specific application. So if you postpone the vote today, then at your next meeting what essentially you would have is you would have two recommendations, okay, one unfavorable and one favorable, and then I believe at that time you, you know, you can call for the question and the vote will go whichever way it goes. But at least from that standpoint you would have both sides of the arguments prepared for you. BEAUDET: And if we voted in favor of the motion today, then we wouldn’t have, or all we would have for consideration would be the new recommendation with conditions. KANUHA: Well, if you --. BEAUDET: I mean, the motion stands, right? KANUHA: But there is a motion on the floor, but the motion is in support. What you have in front of you is a recommendation, is an unfavorable recommendation, and because the recommendation is unfavorable, you know, there is no conditions --. BEAUDET: Correct. KANUHA: -- going forward. So like Jeff mentioned, there’s two ways to go about this, and I think what your counsel is recommending is that you vote to defer action on this, knowing that there is a motion on the floor for a favorable recommendation, defer on it, we will come back and provide you with a favorable recommendation, standard conditions and specific conditions of approval relative to this specific application. And when your next meeting, at your next meeting you’ll have two recommendations, and at that time there’s a motion on the floor; you can either go with the motion, there may be a new motion that can come up, but it’s basically a clean slate. But the indication is, or the direction is, for us to provide a favorable recommendation for your consideration as well. Does that make sense? PATEL: If I can add, Mr. Chair, so just basically keeping it simple, the bottom line is if the Director’s recommendation was favorable, what happens normally under normal circumstances is that proposed conditions would be attached to the recommendation as a standard, because if you are going to do a change of zone, you know, any property owner is not going to have free reign to do 20 EXHIBIT A
