Pursuant to Recommendations 5 and 6, pedestrian amenities shall be included within tbe commercial component of the mixed-use development. Amenities shall include two or more of the design elements from Recommendation No.7. To provide further clarification of the text amendment'), as a condition of approval, the proposed text amendments should be revised as follows. . Regarding proposed Recommendation No.5: To clarify that abutting properties not included in this application are not subject to this amendment, revise the first sentence to state: "Not\\r1thstanding Recommendation No.4, development sites abutting the south side o.lGreen Lane and ge"nerally lyest o.lthe eastern boundary of the former Santa Clara Elementary School Site..." . Regarding proposed Recommendation No.6: To clarify which zoning is approved, revise the second sentence to state: "If zoned commercial, it shall be zoned C-2 and it shall be developed. . ." Regarding 6.b, the subject site abuts R-l zoning to the northeast and R-2 zoning to the southeast. EC 9.2171 (2) already requires C-2 development to be limited to 30 feet in height within 50 feet ofR-l zoning, and to be limited to 35 feet in height within 50 feet of R-2 zoning. Proposed 6.b only proposes a height restriction where abutting R-I zoning, and fmihermore the proposed height limitation of 35 feet is actually 5 feet taller than the code already restricts. Therefore, this height limitation should be stricken. . Regarding proposed Recommendation No.7: The connection shown on the applicant's Site Concept plan (see applicant's Exhibit 1.2) depict') a Green Lane crossing between the northern 7.3 acre portion of the site and the southern 1.3 acre portion of the site.
