D. LJ SHORES PLANNED DISTRICT ORDINANCE (PDO). Based on

conversations between Community Planning Program Manager Robert Manis and Susan today, the following motion was offered and removed from consideration. “LJSA recommends the initiation of the rezoning process to allow city staff to proceed to analyze the single family residential component of the LJ Shores PDO. It is understood that the City will return for community review and will not take any action of the LJS PDO contrary to the LJSA’s position.” Strengthening the last sentence and making it more definite was discussed before the motion was dropped because “initiation of the rezoning process” and “analyzing the single family component” seemed to be two different actions. Other problems: no time line, no promise from the City to return with its finding to LJSA and the community for further consideration. There is a lack of trust. Mr. Manis will be asked to discuss the PDO at the May LJSA meeting.

E. LJ SHORES LIFEGUARD REPLACEMENT TOWER. Project Manager

Reza Taleghani introduced architect Rick Espana and consultant Hector Perez who presented the proposed tower design. They and Lifeguard Lieutenant John Greenhalgh fielded questions about relocating the storage/garage placement, the possibility of lowering building heights, size reduction, adding public showers and other matters. MOTION. Passed (12/1 Courtney). Approval of the design presented.

F. LIFE GUARD TOWER ART. Dana Wilshin, Public Art Program Assistant, Commission for Arts and Culture introduced artist Mary Dominguez.
