A communication from Robert Strong on behalf of the developer of the Hi.guera Street Commerce Park Specific Plan asked in light of the action taken by the City Council on April 17, 1979, in approving the project E.I.R. but denying the approval of the specific plan and directing staff to prepare an amendment to the General Plan to place property in agricultural conservation area, Robert Strong asked the City Council for an opportunity to discuss revisions to their plan which the council may consider for future approval. 1. A definite time schedule to. assure.that.the southern.30 acres are not , subdivided for at least 5 -10 years, thus providing for interm agri- cultural use as part of the specific plan. 2. Provision to phase "build -out" of the northern 50 acres of the subdivision to assure that the employment increases will occur over an extended period of time. City..,Council_Minutes May 14, 1979.- 12:10 p.m. Page 4 3. Minor.revisions.to -the subdivision_.street.:plan.to reduce or.eliminate _..conflict with Meisner_'.s private..road.and.to retain.flexibility for interim. agricultural.and /or..deferred commercial- industrial use of the adjoining acreage. 4. Other special-provisions-such as ... off- site..noise_reduction_wall, traffic signal. participation, ,i private'_ f ire. .pro tection.:.improvements,`. employment control.by.:conditional_.use permit,. intended..to.mitigate..possible impacts.of.- commercial- industrial..development within the project. Robert Strong hoped the City Council.could.give some direction to himself, ...the city planning staff and the property.owner. George Thacher, City Attorney, in -men randum:_opinion..79 =28, stated that the .City Council.with.their action of-April-17, 1979 in denying or failing to _approve the specific plan for the Higuera.Commerce Park could.not make.any . final decision.on specific plan until.such.time.as.the matter has been - returned ... to.the Planning Commission for _recommendation.on.any.proposed changes- discussed by the City.Council. He reviewed.Section 65504 of the.California Government ......Code dealing with references to proposed - changes,.etc. He stated that the City,Council.could talk to the property owner and developer but could not actually adopt any changes at this time. _Terry Sanville, planner, submitted ..a.repor.t.on:.behalf.of..the city -staff based .on Mr..Strong.'s request.of.the council.to. reconsider their:action in not approving the plan. He stated that.there. are a..number:of important issues identified in R._Strong's letter that should -.be discussed by the City Council. ....However, the key issue appears.to.be one of.-land use. By.not adopting the Higuera Commerce Park plan and initiating -the general plain-.amendment.for. ._agriculture, the majority of the council.indicated that the agricultural land... use option should be considered. While_specific.plans.can deal with ...the'timing.and phasing of development,..the long -term use of the.property .- needs,:to..be.clearl.y. understood :and.::agreed..upon... He.proposed.:the following ......alternatives.for the council's consideration: Alternative #1: Agriculture /Conservation.Designation -(80 Acres) Alternative #2: Service Commercial /Light Industrial.(80 Acres) Alternative #3: Service Commercial /Light.Industrial (80 Acres) - Staged Alternative #4: Service Commercial /Light Industrial (50 Acres).- Staged Interim Agri.culture.(30.Acres - .Ultimate Use Determined Later) He stated that the .recommendation.of_.the..staff, while there were a number of other strategies the council may wish to.discuss was: 1. Direct.the.staff.to.work with_Rob..Strong..to prepare an amendment to the draft.specific plan-report which.._ incorporates -environmental mitigation measures, the Planning Commission's recommendations, and -.a more..explicit.phasing program (which would . spell out time limits and - "build out" requirements).. 2. Refer these amendments.to.the Planning-Commission for their reconsider - ation and.report. This is.required..by California Law. 3. Initiate.an amendment .to.._the...general..plan to - change the land -use designation of the southern_30- acre:_ area _from.. "service;_commercial / ' light..industrial.'.' to- " interim :agriciulture,'.'.and..expand this .designa- tion..to appropr.iate.areas in the.county presently designated rural industrial."- _.. . 4.. Initiate the_ rezoning- of.._the::.southern.30 -acre parcel from C -H -SP to A /C- 20 -SP. This would be.done subsequent to-the general plan amendment.recommended in number 3.
