REMARKS (Continued):
Page 2 -26 of the Specific Plan allows up to 300,000 net square feet for Condominium, Multi -
Family, Apartments, and Affordable products (Exhibit A of Attachment 27). Approximately
286,000 149,000 square feet is still available in this category following th e approved Phase I
project.
A reduction of commercial square footage is not required given the remaining square
footage in the two residential categories outlined above. The remaining square footage in
the two residential categories is adequate to allow 94 additional residential units. However,
if the Town Council is interested in reducing the commercial square footage in exchange for
more residential units , then modifications to the highlighted commercial square footage
numbers on page 2 -10 of the Specific Plan can be made (Exhibit A of Attachment 27 ).
Additionally, if the Town Council is interested in increasing the number of residential units
from 270 to 364 then modifications on page 2 -10 and 2 -26 can be made (Exhibit A of
Attachment 27 ).
