The committee met <br />regularly until June 2024 <br />•Review of a DA is a private contractual process, but the extensive <br />community engagement process, and routine staff meetings with City <br />Council and Planning Commission members ensured that community <br />priorities were effectively communicated to the ad hoc committee and <br />informed the negotiation process. <br />•The proposed DA is consistent with the City’s General Plan.
