Environmental Review Process and Schedule.

Staff would prepare the resolutions of approval for the
Commission's review, prior to their January 6, 1992 meeting.
The standard process for City Council review of the Updated General
Plan, Sphere of Influence and EIR is being changed slightly given
that a public hearing before the City Council will be scheduled
prior to Planning Commission adoption of the resolutions on January
6, 1992.
State law requires that at least one public hearing shall be held
by the Legislative Body, the City Council. However, the City
Council has the right to schedule as many public hearings as they
feel is necessary.
The first available date, following the Commissions action taken on
January 6, 1992, to hold a public hearing and review the above
referenced matters would be January 22, 1992.
From January 22, 1992 to the end of February 1992, there are six
(6) Wednesdays for the City Council to schedule public hearings if
they feel it is warranted. Following Council's action on January
22, 1992, staff would like some direction as to the dates that the
Council would like to conduct pub'.ic hear=ings.
The above schedule assumes that the above dates are adhered to. The
proposed time line would enable City Council to obtain its goal of
concluding discussion on the Update to the Land Use and Circulation
Element plus the Sphere of I'nf1..uence Study by the middle of
February.
Recommendation:
1. That the City Council direct the Planning Commission to
conclude their discussion and adoption of all required
resolutions with recommendations regarding revisions to the
Land Use and Circulation elements, recommendations for the
certification of the EIR and recommendations regarding the
Sphere of Influence study, n(� later than January 6, 1991.
2. That the City Council set a public hearing on January 22, 1992
to begin review of the Final EIR, Updated Land Use and
Circulation Elements plus Sphere of Influence Study.
