Attorney Araujo asked for a copy of the plans that have been submitted to the City; he was advised by City Staff that the plans are available to him and that every effort will be made to answer any questions he might have concerning the property and its development. Planning Director Charles Zimmerman stated that the project is not low-income; that there will be 90 units on 3.2 acres of a density of 28.1 units per acre; that the General Plan designation allows 40 units per acre; and that the variance procedure allows the City to review more closely the development plans for the property; that 1-1/2 spaces for each dwelling unit are provided for parking; and that it is anticipated that the building permit will be issued the latter part of the week ending May 6. In answer to the question from Council, City Attorney Keith Gow responded that a reconsideration can be made at the same meeting as the original decision or at the following meeting; that Roberts Rules of Order are the rules of procedure that the Council has adopted; that Council may only reconsider the matter if it suspends its rules.
