The public hearing concerned the Development Agreement for Special Devices Incorporated. Similar to the Bollinger Development Agreement but more specific in Sections 6 and 7, i.e. conservation easement which would silitfy the open space purpetuity on all of the non - developable poriton of the SDI site, and deeding the property north of the Arroyo with the exception of the Arroyo itself, the City will have altimate use of that as long as it benefits the public as determined by the City. Protections for the City concerning job creation and the unlikly event that SDI is delayed or decides not to, there are protections there for the City. The City is providing considerations to the Developer in the way of exemptions from the Hillside Ordinance, Growth Management, and fees for IPD 95 -2, and City's agreement to be efficient and expenditure of funds and implementation and mitigation measures. Weed abatement issues regarding the conservation property were brought forward by Commissioner May. Staff responded that the City would not be in charge of the conservaiton easement property (200+ acres), and the City owned eight acres north of the Arroyo would be maintained by the City as the property owner. The City Attorney and the SDI Attorney will review and assist in the finalization of the Development Agreement.
