Commissioners Responded in the affirmative. Director Indicated the City Council extended the Medical Marijuana Ordinance for ten months and fifteen days; the City Council staff report was provided for the Commissioners in this evening's packets. Action Agenda - Planning Commission 3-27-06 - Page 4 Director continued Stated that staff anticipates issuing building permits for Prospect Village sometime this week. COMMISSION CONCERNS Lee Indicated that he is attending the Citizens' Academy at the Police Department; and, stated it has been an eye-opening experience that provides a broad idea of what is happening within Tustin. Menard No concerns. Floyd Thanked staff for the presentations. Pontious Echoed the thanks to staff for the work that went into the workshops and staff reports for this project. Menard Encouraged staff to provide similar workshops in the future in order to accelerate the process for projects that come forward; it has always been helpful for the Commission to be able to sit down with staff to go over issues and thereby reach a better understanding of the objectives of staff and the developer. Agreed with Commissioner Pontious's comments regarding the handling of the Specific Plan Amendment, a perfect model for the future. Asked that the Design Guidelines prepared by RTKL be shared with the Commission just as soon as the Guidelines are available. Director Indicated that no document is available at this time, and staff has no idea when a draft will be forthcoming. Pontious Suggested that the look of the Legacy development will depend on the Design Guidelines; staff can be trusted to make sure all the roads are wide enough and sewers are taken care of, but the Planning Commission's focus is that the community will have a look that distinguishes Tustin from other cities. Nielsen Thanked staff for their hard work on the workshops and notification regarding the Specific Plan Amendment. 7:55 p.m. ADJOURNMENT: The next regular meeting of the Planning Commission is scheduled for Monday, April 10, 2006, at 7:00 p.m. in the City Council Chamber at 300 Centennial Way.
