Mr. Robert Break of The Irvine Company addressed the Council and indicated he felt the items of concern could be resolved at this time, and stated that a continuance would create a hardship. The Planning Director stated that neither he nor Bob Lenard, Advance Planning Administrator, have had the benefit of discussing the areas of concern with the developer, and therefore, feel this matter should be continued as recommended.

Mr. Break addressed the Council again, and stated that the language set forth on Page 4, regarding "family size" would not set a precedent for future affordable agreements on the part of The Irvine Company. Pertaining to the requirement for yearly requalification, Mr. Break stated that they are unsure of the justification for this requirement. He stated it was a very sensitive area and he felt it was inappropriate from a personal and human standpoint. He! stated that they would be reluctant to institutionalize a clause for yearly requalification. Mr. Break stated that they concurred in all the recommendations, with the exception of the requirement for yearly requalification. Doug Allred, applicant, addressed the Council again regarding on -site and off -site housing. He indicated that it had never occurred to them that off -site housing may not be allowed.
