10. DISCUSSION ITEMS:
A. Specific Plan Regulations & Workshop
The Director presented the Commission with an overview of
the Specific Plan policy, design and regulation process.
He described the various Specific Plan applications with
the City.
Commissioner Miller commented on the fact that the
Commission and Council had previously determined that any
new information submitted to the City Council on a
specific entitlement request that had not previously been
submitted to the Commission would be directed to returned
or excluded from the City Council review. He questioned
whether this policy was still in effect.
The Director said that under certain regulations there
were laws that required these circumstances to be
returned for further review by the Planning Commission.
.- The Director went on further to explain the position of
the Local Agency Formation Commission ( LAFCO) takes and
how development can propose to work within the City or by
the County, and the different situations this creates in
determining authority.
Commissioner May questioned what the time frame would be
to process the Sphere of Influence Expansion. The
Director said that the applicaiton process would take at
the least four to five months. Commissioner May then
asked whether this meant that the Specific Plan
applicants would need to wait until this process was
completed. Mr. Aguilera said that LAFCO can concurrently
process the Sphere of Influence Expansion and Specific
Plan.
Commissioner Brodsky questioned whether the Specific Plan
applications would be reviewed by the Economic
Development Committee. Mr. Aguilera concurred that this
would be the case as an affordable housing component is
required for all Specific Plans.
B. Downtown Sign Program
The Commission briefly discussed the concerns of the
Downtown Merchants and signage. The Commission concurred
with staff that we should provide an outline of the
proposed Downtown Sign Program at the Sign Workshop
