At the February llth meeting the Council adopted staff' s recommended course of action and set a future date to consider the following: 1 . The scope of what the update should accomplish. 2 . To identify appropriate general plan goals and policies which should be adhered to and those needing adjustments . 3 . Review other matters deemed appropriate. Shortly after taking the action above the Council met with the Planning Commission on February 25 , 1987 . At this meeting the topic of General Plan Update was discussed again. Planning Commissioner Holland introduced the idea of a Local Planning Ordinance which was generally well received. There also appeared to be a general consensus to receive as much public input into this subject as possible prior to setting any course of action. At the February llth Council meeting staff had suggested the following program: 1. The City Council to determine the issues , policies and direction needed for the update. 2 . To refer these tentative ideas to the Planning Commission for comments . 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 (805) 529-6864 `)F, The Honorable City Council p. 2 - March 10 , 1987 3 .
