5. Information Item: Presentations and Discussion concerning the proposed Carroll Canyon Commercial Center project (General Plan amendment, Community Plan Amendment, Rezoning, Tentative Map, Site Development Permit, Neighborhood Use Permit for a Comprehensive Sign Plan). Mr. Colton Sudberry (Sudberry Properties) described the plans for the proposed commercial center. His presentation was substantially the same as previous descriptions at meetings of the SMRPG. He stated that there were no tenant agreements with major big-box retailers and that he could neither confirm nor deny whether Walmart, Target, or any other retailer was a prospective tenant. Questions from the audience concerned traffic around the proposed center, freeway access, public safety for evacuation, and effects on other local businesses. Several members who identified themselves as Scripps Ranch residents said they were strongly opposed to the change in Community Plan with subsequent re-zone to commercial retail because of (1) the potential loss of professional jobs and (2) the desire to maintain consistency with 35 years of the Scripps Ranch residential community concept. Ms. Jenny Marshall, a Scripps Ranch Resident, representing Save Our Scripps Ranch (SOSRanch), gave a powerpoint presentation describing her organization's objections and opposition to the proposed commercial center.
6. Adjournment: 8:30pm
