       January 11, 2006, and voted 7-0 with one abstention to not recommend
       staff's recommendation.  The Commission concluded that the project does
       not advance General Plan policies which promote the creation of jobs and
       revenue for the City, and that a preferred future development on the site
       should be a commercial use.  Earlier, in July 2004, the Commission had
       made the same recommendation when considering the original PD
       amendment and 4-story self-storage proposal for this site. 
       Recommendation of Design Commission: The Design Commission
       reviewed the proposed amendment to the PD-11 plan on November 14, 2005
       and recommended approval of the project subject to concept and final design
       review of the new structure by the Design Commission.
