GEDNEY City Treasurer TO: FROM: DATE: The Honorable City Council Niall Fr}:lf, Director of Community May 6, 1985 SUBJECT: GENERAL PLAN UPDATE Development STEVEN KUENY City Manager CHERYL J. KANE City Attorney NIALL FRITZ Director of Community Development R. DENNIS DELZEil City Engineer JOHN V. GILLESPIE Chief of Police On April 18, the Planning Commission discussed the brelth of review which will be given to the Land Use Element Update as a result of possible private party General Plan Amendment applications to be submitted for processing in conjunction with the City's update. Upon the Commission's request, staff indicated that twelve property owners had discussed or requested General Plan Amendment applications for processing with the update. The net effect if all applications are in fact filed and approved by the City would be an increase of approximately 2000 dwelling units within the City limits and 17,000 dwelling units outside of the City. This would increase the General Plan's holding capacity of 35,740 to 85,000 people. Specific infor- mation regarding those applications received by the May 1 deadline will be provided at your Council meeting. After a lengthy discussion of this subject and its possible ramificat- ions, the Commission acted to recommend that the City not include with the update any private party amendment request involving more than 20 acres of land. The motion was made by Commission LaPerch and seconded by Commission Hartley. The motion passed 2 - 1 with Commissioner Schleve <iecenting and Commissioner's Rosen and Holland absent. ~ A subsequent discussion was held by the Commission on April 25. The issue of screening amendment requests was discussed by the Commission. By a unanimous vote, the Commission took action to recommend to your Council that future General Plan Amendment requests be submitted to the Planning Commission for an advisory review prior to actual submittal. The motion was made by Commissioner Hartley and seconded by Chairman Holland. 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 (805) 529-6864 The Honorable City Council p. 2 May 6, 1985 SUBJECT: GENERAL PLAN UPDATE An amendment to the motion to also require such a review of amendment request presently being submitted for processing with the update was defeated. The main motion was adopted by the Commission on a 3 - 2 vote with Commissioners LaPerch and Schleve decenting. After review by the City Attorney of the Commission's request, it is recommended that such an informational review be available to applicants, but not a requirement. It is the City Attorneys advice that by making this review voluntary, an applicant would be less able to claim the review was prejudicial or that the City had made a commitment to approve the proposal. RECOMMENDED ACTION 1. Direct the processing of General Plan Amendment requests as part of the General Plan Update only if they encompass an area of 20 acres or less. 2. Adopt a policy that future General Plan Amendment requests may be presented to the Planning Commission on a voluntary basis for an advisory review prior to the formal submittal of an application.
