c. Actions of the Zoning Administrator ,,- No action was taken. d. Update of Housing Element Task Force; Comments to Liaisons Commissioner Roberts advised that the Housing Element Update Task Force has completed its meetings and that no vote was taken on the Update. She noted that there was general consensus on the majority ofthe issues, but also very strong disagreement on one portion. She stated that a joint session would be held among the City Council, Planning Commission, and Housing Commission sometime in mid-November and that the Commissioners would receive a packet prior to the session. She encouraged the Commissioners to look particularly at the growth management portion, wherein the Task Force wants to comply strictly with the ABAG requirement of750 houses a year, 100 of which would be affordable. She noted that the green building portion is fairly substantial and that the land use issues are, in effect, recommendations for a new land use plan which will come with the new General Plan. The Task Force has indicated on a City map all the areas it wants to be rezoned to "High Density Residential," which includes all of the industrial areas in the City except the ten-acres at the church in the Valley Trails area, because high density cannot be located in the in the middle of the neighborhood. ---- Commissioner Maas urged the Commissioners to read the packet and voice out their concerns at the joint session. She pointed out that the comments from that evening, especially from the Council, will be put together and could change the Housing Element if the views are that strong. The document will then go to Sacramento to be filed as a draft and for its comments and approval, after which it will come back to the Planning Commission for its recommendation and to the Council for its approval. Commissioner Arkin noted that the Commission would have at least one meeting before the joint session and suggested that the matter be discussed then. 9. COMMUNICATIONS There were none. 10.
