Documents
Filed: Memorandum from Executive Director, Susan F. Shick, dated March 21,
2000, recommending the Redevelopment Agency Board and the City Council adopt
said resolutions.
Discussion/Action: Referencing the items for approval, Executive Director, Susan F. Shick recommended approval of the Summary Report and the DDA with Mission Villas, and deferral of Council/Board approval on the schematic design documents. She stated the Developer Golden & Kest, since initial approvals in January 2000, has presented certain minor design modifications to the façade to improve the project. She stated those revisions will be reviewed by the Urban Design Review Board working with the Planning Department and the Historic Landmarks Commission, and will be presented by Agency Staff for Council/Board approval within six weeks, or sooner if completed. Noting her support of the proposal, Council Member Chavez stated the Mission Villas project, together with the Julian Court project now under construction, will provide an important balance of for-sale home ownership in conjunction with existing and projected rental projects to be developed in this section of the Downtown; however, the parking allocation for the project should not be considered as part of the Downtown Parking Plan. She asked that Staff include in the report on the modified schematic design documents a plan with mechanisms and timelines that address parking impacts and alleviate congestion within the condominium project area. Upon motion by Council Member Chavez, seconded by Vice Mayor Fiscalini and unanimously carried, Resolution No. 69467, entitled: “Resolution of the Council of the City of San José Accepting the Summary of Costs and the Findings of the Summary Report and the Reuse Value and Findings of the Reuse Appraisal Pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Section 33433, for the Mission Villas Condominium Project and Making Certain Other Findings; and Approving the Disposition and Development With Mission Villas, LLC, for the Mission Villas Project”; and the Redevelopment Agency Board Resolution approving related items, were adopted. Vote: 11-0-0-0.
The joint session of the City Council and the Redevelopment Agency Board of San José was adjourned at 3:07 p.m.
