2. What is the phasing for the drainageway system?

3. Make sure the housing has a variety of elevation designs.

4. What are street sections like? (key the neighborhood plans to the street sections)

5. Allow the community center and related recreation facilities to be phased.

6. Provide detailed design guidelines for the town center.

Residential Neighborhood Design:

1. Make sure there as many "A" market homes as possible. (similar to housing development in Natomas)

2. There should be architectural variety in the neighborhoods (no cookie-cutter housing).

3. If necessary, use design standards that are different than the existing zoning code to create the types of neighborhoods and streets recommended in the plan.

4. Make sure the plan drawings in the report have the correct lot sizes shown.

General Discussion Topics:

1. There may not be the political support for bond financing for the plan's proposed schools. There is also a concern about the impact on the middle school that is not indicated on the plan.

2. Come back to the CAC with the draft administrative specific plan report in March.
