REPORT OF ACTIONS TAKEN AT THE MAY 3 AND 17,
2004, CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS.
The Prospect Village Project was appealed to the City Council;
the Planning Commission's decisions were upheld, including the
recommendations on the Zone Change and the Tentative Map; it
was a 5-0 decision; the second reading on the Zone Change will
take place at the Council's next meeting; various statute of
limitations need to run, after which the developer will be
submitting plans and carrying out various mitigation measures
required by the EIR.
The Council also approved modifications to the Council
Chambers that will be taking place in the near future and will
require the regular meetings be relocated, probably to the
Community Center.
Asked for the timeframe on the Utt Juice development.
Indicated the developer may wait until the statute runs before
submitting the plans; there are also DDA obligations to be fulfilled;
staff can provide information to the Commission as things
proceed.
Asked about the Tustin Ranch Golf Course expansion.
Answered the expansion is proceeding well; and, added that
grading permits will soon be issued for The Barn site.
Asked if there is any news on the gas station site at Red Hill and
San Juan.
Answered in the negative.

Answered the developer submitted plans last Thursday.
Asked staff for another update on existing and plans projects.

impressed by the brisk business they are doing.
Indicated he will be out of town and will not be able to attend the
Armstrong Nursery Grand Opening.
Stated her understanding that The Irvine Company has
announced that the IKEA site will be divided and Best Buy and
CompuServe are coming in.
Indicated that CompuServe will be located at the old Kids R Us
site; staff has heard that perhaps Linens 'N Things will go into the
other portion where Best Buy will be split.
Noted that is good news for the City's tax base.
Stated The Irvine Company is also proposing to do some traffic
and other improvements to the main entrance into the Best Buy
location (where the fast food restaurants are located); significant
improvements may come before the Planning Commission; minor
improvements will be approved at the staff level.
Wished everyone a safe and happy Memorial Day; and, asked
that we remember the service individuals, particularly those
overseas, and give thanks and thought to them this weekend.
