Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Agenda No. 07-16 August 23, 2007 Page 17 of 19 timeframe would discourage the owner from make near-term improvements on the property. Vice Chair Dlugosh suggested that references in the documents that affect the Red Mountain property (specifically as regards the SP-I overlay) be removed from the recommendations and be reserved for future discussion, because it is not something that can be negotiated satisfactorily in this forum. Chair Reed asked if this is done, will it come back before the Planning Commission again before it goes to the City Council? Vice Chair DJugosh expects it would have to come back to the Planning Commission if the overlay were to be applied. Assistant City Attorney Stuart pointed out that the Planning Commission is charged only with making a recommendation; the City Council has the discretion whether to act in accordance with that recommendation. Thus, the matter mayor may not come back to the Planning Commission. Chair Reed agreed, "We never have the final say; we always are recommending. . . we understand our role." Commissioner Collier asked about the timing of the Housing Element review. Secretary Livermore said that the process for the next Housing Element will begin in 2008, just about five months away.
