airport; French Brothers Investments, were the applicants.
Mike Multari., Community Development Director, reviewed the agenda report
stating that he did not feel it timely for the City to process a specific
general plan amendment and prezoning application for such a large area
outside the urban reserve and outside the Airport Area Specific Plan area.
It was staff recommendation that a strategy would be to consider the basic
land use proposal in the larger context of updating the city's general
plan. In the larger context., the community's need for basic land use
designations, concerns for agricultural preservation, city expansion and
phasing, rural cluster development, circulation impacts, the jobs/housing
balance, and the creation of a green belt could be addressed.
Mr. Multari stated that the environmental analysis of these changes to the
general plan and their cumulative impact on resources would best be
addressed at the general plan level. More focused environmental studies 3
could be done at the specific planning stage after basic land use policy
decisions have been incorporated into the general plan. Unless the Council
indicated otherwise, the Community Development would recommend postponing
processing of the general plan amendment and prezoning application
separately. They would be considered as part of the work on updating the
Land Use Element.
General discussion was held, no final action was taken.

wholesale abandonment, as it would reduce or eliminate the area's ability

intending to send the letter in the Council 's packet to the Board of
Supervisors with this information.
Upon general consensus the draft letter was approved. After brief
discussion and upon general consensus, staff was directed to establish a
time/date/agenda for the City Council to meet with the Board of Supervisors
