public. Adopting Ordinance No. 2066 would ignore and actively undermine the rights granted to the citizens under the California Constitution. Allen Roberts said that in focusing this process on the future of Lund Ranch II, the City has ignored the wishes expressed by the voters in Measure PP. The public record is clear in that the direction of both the Council and Planning Commission changed course to accommodate the road for this development and carving a hole in PP to accomplish this is certainly not what the voters intended. Any road on that hillside however, would almost certainly require a retaining wall and therefore be prohibited by PP. In addition, the proposed definition of "slope" is not workable, the definition of "ridge" does not account for the definition in place when the vote for PP was cast, and state law contradicts the proposed position that a road is not a structure. He recommended that the Council direct staff to redraft the ordinance with definitions that acknowledge, rather than narrow, what was in place at the time PP was passed. Lee Fulton said Measure PP was largely intended to protect the ridgelines in the Oak Grove development, yet the proposed ordinance would preclude those very ridges from being considered ridges. He asked the Council to acknowledge the intent of the voters and reconsider its rewriting of Measure PP. Greg O'Connor, Planning Commission, reminded the Council that at one time all 5 members agreed that a road was a structure, as did staff and the Planning Commission on 3 separate occasions. He said the intent of PP is clear and that the existing definition of "ridges" honors that intent. He asked the Council to either vote "no" on the second reading or amend its position to consider a road a structure.
