the type of use that it has been sustaining over the last ten months. He noted
because of the type of use, that being soccer for children and adults is the
primary reason why the City must returf the area. He also noted staff plans to
meet with the League organizations in order to regulate the amount of use that
these fields get. Staff is planning to meet and have discussions on having a field
use maintenance use procedure and a calendar to provide a rest time for the

PUBLIC HEARINGS
(24) Continued Public Hearinq - Tentative Tract Map No. 34346 for Condominium
Purposes and Residential Desiqn Review No. 2005-27. for "The Colony"
Leonard Leichnitz, President of Lumos Communities, expressed his concerns
related to the project one being the designation of R-3, which he noted as a
typographical error, and the importance of the density caps under Appendix A.
Mayor Hickman inquired of Mr. Leichnitz if he was ok with the density.
Leonard Leichnitz, President of Lumos Communities, indicated, if this project is
setting a precedent, that Appendix A will not govern this plan or future projects up
Mission Trail, and if a seniors' project was not built, then this density would go
away.
Mayor Hickman inquired if there is a condition that states this project is for senior
55 years and older.
Peter Bauchman, representative of the applicant, responded there is a condition
that addresses the age; however, the City Attorney drafted an amendment to this
condition that makes this condition stronger and he indicated they were fine with
the amendment.
City Attorney Leibold responded the project is conditioned on being a project for
occupancy by persons 55 years and older consistent with applicable State and
Federal law. She noted Condition No. 12 already imposes that requirement, but
indicated the City Attorney's Office redrafted the condition to make it extremely
clear. She also noted in addition, CC&R's will be prepared which will also require
and restrict occupancy to person 55 years or older.
Peter Bauchman noted the golf carts are an amenity to get around the
residential facility itself and to be able for residents to utilize the golf course.
5
City Attorney Leibold indicated she can add a new condition saying "in the event
that Olive Street is constructed, the applicant shall upon the City's request; make
gated pedestrian golf cart and/or vehicular access available from the project's
southern boundary to Olive Street.
City Attorney Leibold also noted she will add another new condition saying "shall
work with staff and shall consult with Northwest Mosquito Vector Control District
to create an appropriate landscaping plan for the retention basin."
Mayor Pro Tem Kelley stated her concern with this development is that the City is
treating each parcel in that area equally, and that the same standards have
applied for each applicant.
City Attorney Leibold responded one issue is what is the appropriate land use
designation for the Colony property which includes Planning Areas 50, 51 and 59.
She indicated they encompass R-2 with a sliver of a R-3 designation that has
been retained. She also indicated Planning Area No. 59 on the map was
designated R-3 and what she recently learned, and had not the opportunity to
convey, is that looking to Appendix A, Planning Area No. 59 on the governing
land use designation was mislabeled R-2. She also noted the Land Use Map
from the 1993 plan forward, the map itself has always identified Planning Area
No. 59 as R-3 and has never been changed by subsequent amendments.
City Attorney Leibold explained how future development along Mission Trail will
be add ressed.
City Attorney Leibold also stated State law and the City's density bonus
ordinance would allow for a density bonus for this type of project because of the
senior restriction; however, there is an application process associated with the
density bonus including an agreement that the City and the property owner must
enter into to ensure those long term convents on the occupancy.
Councilman Magee inquired if the project was circulated to the County, with
respect to the traffic impacts, and asked if any comments were received.
Community Development Director Preisendanz responded it was circulated to the
County and no comments were received.
Councilman Magee inquired if there will be any cars parked on Mission Trail
Community Development Director Preisendanz responded there will be "no
parking" signs posted on Mission Trail.
Councilman Schiffner stated he does not want to see a precedent for high density
in the future.

density and why the open space was included.
