The Council and Commissioners made comments about their observations and understanding of previous Council action. Mayor Dunin asked for public comment. Commissioner Peterson stated for the record that he had listened to the tapes from the Council's previous meeting discussing the LUE on September 25, 1990. Commissioner Williams stated as she had just been appointed, she was not prepared to comment. Commissioner Gurnee supported the need for an impartial economics needs assessment. He also felt that the previous strategic planning program should be reviewed. He suggested the City undertake a comprehensive look at the General Plan reviewing the previous plan and updating it. Commissioner Schmidt was concerned that an economic study could cloud the ability of the Commission to propose a vision for the City. Commissioner Kourakis was also concerned that the economic study not"drive" the LUE and undermine the environmental concerns. Commissioner Hoffman felt he had sufficient information to continue the LUE review. Brett Cross.1217 Mariners Cove,did not support the Citizen's Advisory Committee's Recommendation No.7, feeling that it was too narrow a definition regarding the perspective on quality of life. Don Smith urged that the Council provide as their first priority, quality of life issues. Carla Sanders,representing the Citizen's Planning Alliance of San Luis Obispo County, read a letter into the record dated December 17, 1990,expressing concerns about the scope of the proposed economic study. She City Council Minutes Page 3 Tuesday,January 22,1991 -7:00 p.m. urged the study take in the following issues:A) Answer the question "What is the cost of new development to existing residents of the City of San Luis Obispo?"; B) The study separate the economic effects from the environmental effects; C) That the economic study address the issues of adequate resources ie. water, air, sewer,school,traffic,agricultural land and whether or not the residents would be willing to pay to keep peaks, hillsides,creeks, and marshes open; D) Assess development and expansion areas so that funding for new or expanded resources does not require the City to pay for it;and,E) obtain information from other recognized authorities on economic studies,such as Navaro and Carson. Charles Long,639 Al-bill Drive,urged that the economics of the study be completed prior to going further with this plan. Dave Garth.2046 San Luis Drive,felt that the problem was not with excessive growth,but to start by doing an economic study,so that there was a balance between the environment and economic impacts. Jim Merkle.392 Pismo,felt that the vision of the community needed to be identified. He questioned,"How was this community going to sustain itself in the future?" He was concerned about the environmental effects identified with air quality,traffic,circulation,animals,and others. 9.00 pm Mayor Dunin declared a recess. 9:10 p.m. City Council reconvened,all Councilmembers and commissioners present. Councilman Roalman felt that the Commission needed to look at the original process. He was concerned about losing some of the information originally received from the public and hoped the L.U.E.would not be driven by economic goals. He encouraged the Council not to send the document back to the Planning Commission and was specifically concerned that the entire document not be up for grabs. He suggested letting the Council continue reviewing the draft L.U.E.,and the City could prepare an economic study if necessary. Councilman Reiss felt that economics was an important element and could not ignore the Citizen's Advisory Committee's recommendation No. 21 as it related to the need for a different perspective of quality of life. Specifically, that quality of life and economic development could no longer be viewed as divergent or as opposites. They should be viewed as parallel and complimentary objectives. Councilwoman Pinard questioned how the City could continually grow without destroying what it has. She felt it was important to be fair for all the people,not just those currently living in San Luis Obispo. Councilwoman Rappa restated the need for choosing the City's future rather than letting it just happen. She felt that the regional center issue needed to be reviewed using the previous strategic planning program as a guide. It was not her intent to slight the environmental program and she could support the approach suggested by Commissioner Gurnee, but was not prepared to discuss the workscope this evening. She thought it important to retain local control, but remain aware of what is happening in the rest of the County. She did not want to see a complete rewrite of the plan,but to focus on those area previously outlined by the Council. Mayor Dunin supported sending the plan back to the Planning Commission for review of those issues previously outlined. He was also concerned that some type of economic study be provided. He hoped that the Land Use Element would be reviewed by the Planning Commission with the issues that were previously identified by the Council and in light of the recommendations by the Citizen's Advisory Committee. He, too,felt the strategic planning program previously adopted could be used as part of an update. Atter discussion,and upon general consensus,Council directed the Planning Commission and staff to report back on the 13 points referred to the Planning Commission from the September 25,1990 meeting,with staff to prepare a limited work scope to review economic and environmental concerns using an outside trained economist.
