She then said that too much restriction means the benefits 188 <br />of the overlay are lost. She further said that she likes the phasing of the redevelopment to allow 189 <br />it to happen over time without forcing it and allow the City to focus on the piece the city owns. 190 <br /> 191 <br />President Marty asked whether the City can control the building types, architecture, and design 192 <br />styles by doing the PUD overlay and not limiting potential redevelopment. 193 <br /> 194 <br />Community Development Director Ericson indicated that the PUD and an overlay would allow 195 <br />Staff to control development on the site. 196 <br /> 197 <br />President Marty indicated that this was a good report but it was not what he had expected. 198 <br /> 199 <br />Director Ericson suggested that if there is general support to move forward with the plan Staff 200 <br />would plan to present this to the neighborhood to receive feedback from the community and 201 <br />those neighbors that would be most impacted. 202 <br /> 203 <br />President Marty recessed the EDA meeting at 7:00 p.m. 204 <br /> 205 <br />8. REPORTS 206 <br /> 207 <br />None. 208 <br /> 209 <br />9. NEXT EDA MEETING: Monday, January 8, 2007 at 6:30 p.m. 210 <br /> 211
