Commission’s (PTC) recommendations and direct Staff to:
A. Work with the property owner of a site at El Camino Real and Wilton

developed by an ad hoc committee of the PTC with the following
modifications:

Court project.

percent Area Median Income (AMI) (AH60) and 60 percent to
120 percent AMI (AH120);
3. For AH60 consider the following options for retail preservation:

position;

outreach before changing transition heights for AH60 housing;
