BACKGROUND
On March 27, 2001, the City Council considered the Golden Valley Ranch
development project, receiving a staff presentation, a presentation from the
project applicant, PacSun LLC, and public testimony. At this meeting, staff was
seeking direction from Council regarding the requested entitlements and the
selection of a project alternative so that staff could prepare the appropriate
resolutions and ordinance for formal Council action. PacSun LLC requested that
the Council direct staff to prepare the appropriate resolutions of approval for
Alternative 5B, the "Modified Project Design" Alternative that reduced the scope
of the project, limiting residential and commercial development to the Cluster 1
area.
Following public testimony and Council discussion, the Council voted to adopt
Alternative 1, the "No Project" Alternative and to deny the project on a 4-0-1 vote.
Per the Council's direction, staff has prepared the appropriate resolution of denial
for the applicant's requested project entitlements. The Council's action upon the
resolution will deny the following entitlement requests:
