Discussion on the motion: - Commissioner Wright agreed with the motion, further agreeing that the Planning Commission resolution was a bit ambiguous. However, he feels that if in doubt, the City Council could have asked for further specifics from the Planning Commission.

Commissioner Cooper would support a resolution requesting the City Council reduce the current rate of growth in order to achieve a more orderly progression to buildout. Commissioner Wright does not agree. We went through the General Plan process to put in guidelines in the General Plan. The suggestion of Commissioner Cooper is the same as putting a cap on growth, is, in Commissioner Wright's opinion, the same as altering the General Plan. He further stated that he feels there should be no change to limits or quotas, but there should be a Page 10 Marcb 26, 1997 Planning Commission Minutes
