(4 Ayes, 2 Absent, 1 Abstain) Planning Commission Agenda for September 21, 2006 Page 2 Item 4: Planned Community Development Amendment No. 2006 -004 (PA2006 -173) Amend the Aeronutronic Ford Planned Community Development Plan to decrease the maximum density permitted in Planning Area 5 from 48 dwelling units to 47 dwelling units and to prohibit subdivisions that would increase dwelling units. Discussion on this item focused on the question of whether to make the no- subdivision rule for this area more restrictive than the recently approved General Plan language. Since the alternate Planned Community Text language recommended by staff could be found consistent with both the existing and approved General Plan policies, and with the concurrence of the homeowners association, this alternative was recommended for approval to the City Council. The Rem will be scheduled for City Council consideration on October 10th. (5 Ayes, 1 No, 1 Absent) Submitted by: Patricia L.
