Attached for your review are copies of the December 10, 1998 and January 14, 1999 Planning Commission Staff Reports and Minutes of the Planning Commission public hearings of December 10, 1998 and January 14, 1999. Planning Commission Vote: MSC Ravenstad/Collier, 5 ayes; 2 absent-Burpee, Demirjian The DeSilva Group is proposing to develop 354 residential units on a 44.6-acre site in what is commonly referred to as the Peralta Area. The proposed site planning and design provides a balanced and comprehensive solution to an area with many complex conditions, including a lack of infrastructure, numerous parcels that are marginally developed with multiple owners, and the State's Redevelopment Law requiring provisions for affordable housing within the development. The solution is an opportunity to create a new residential neighborhood within walking distance of the downtown and BART. '�_n)
