REGULAR BUSINESS STAFF CONCERNS 3. REPORT OF ACTIONS TAKEN AT THE APRIL 19, 2004, CITY COUNCIL MEETING. The City Council took action on the Community Development Block Grant one-year action plan; staff will be forwarding the City's application to HUD for the dollar amounts. COMMISSION CONCERNS Stated he hopes there is not a perception that the City indiscriminately demolishes historical buildings in the City. Indicated he is very proud of this project. Noted the City has a 20-year history of making important efforts, including the Overlay District, to preserve history. Pointed out that the City of Tustin is mentioned on page 16 of Elizabeth George's most recent novel. Noted that the Armstrong project looks good so far. Action Agenda - Pianning Commission 4-26-04 - Page 3 Nielsen continued Menard Amante 9:39 p.m. Stated that tonight's decision was very difficult since he empathizes with the residents who want to preserve the Utt Juice building; he looked hard for some feasible way to make that happen; none was apparent. Indicated he looks forward to the new project going forward. Agreed that tonight's approval was a difficult decision. Thanked everyone on staff for their work. Reminded everyone that the Promenade is coming soon; and, encouraged everyone to tour some of the City's historical buildings. Stated that staff did an extraordinary job helping the Planning Commission understand this project. Thanked his colleagues on the Commission for doing a good job during a difficult evening. Indicated it is important to bear in mind that during these difficult economic times it is imperative to remain vigilant regarding properties within local government purview to prevent Sacramento's usurping of sales tax, residential property taxes, etc.; it is incumbent upon local government not to be reaching into the taxpayers' pockets to subsidize that which private industry can do and not be making public those things that should be privatized. Applauded staff for trying to work with the developer and not allow this property, which has been fallow for so long, to remain fallow; this is the right thing for Tustin, despite the difficult choices regarding the façade that has historical value. Indicated he attended Karaoke Night (or "Tustin Idol") and was very entertained; the proceeds will benefit the Seniors in Tustin. ADJOURNMENT The next regular meeting of the Planning Commission is scheduled for Monday, May 24, 2004, at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chamber at 300 Centennial Way.
