       Recommendation of City Manager: It is recommended that the City Council

       Recommendation of Design Commission: On July 13, 2009, the Design
       Commission conducted advisory review of the project.  The Commission
       concluded by majority vote that the project is generally consistent with the
       design-related findings, and that the Commission shall have some flexibility in
       the final review and approval of the project's site plan, building massing and
       modulation, arrangement of floor plates, in addition to the details that are
       reviewed in Final Design.  The Commission also made some specific
       recommendations to further modulate and articulate the building.
       Recommendation of Planning Commission: On July 22, 2009, the
       Planning Commission conducted advisory review of the project that was
       reviewed by the Design Commission.  By unanimous vote, the Commission
       recommended that the Council disapprove all requested entitlements and not
       to certify the EIR.  The Commission made an additional recommendation (by
       a 5-3 vote) that if the Council approves any version of the proposed project,
       that it should be designed to comply with all applicable development
       standards (e.g., no adjustments or variances for height, floor area, etc.), that
       it does not include an FAR increase, and that the 155 public parking spaces
       are omitted from the project.  Further, the Commission added that if such a
       project is approved, the EIR should be revised to re-analyze potential traffic
       and pedestrian safety impacts of the revised project.  The majority of the
       Commissioners asserted that the proposed building is too large and
       incompatible with other development in the vicinity.  Following the meeting,
       the Commission sent a memorandum to the City Council summarizing its
       action.  It is in Attachment L of the agenda report.
