PURPOSE OF THE STUDY SESSION Mr. Lee stated that the purpose of this study session is to consider proposed changes to the General Plan Land Use Map.

Mr. Lee answered that the meeting was announced in the newspapers and any property owners who had expressed an interest in these meetings had been notified by mail. Mr. Lee explained the basis of discussion were three land use proposals which were based on discussions of the joint study session held on September 9. These three proposals, The "Committee" Proposal, The "Maximum Residential" Proposal and The "Community Facility" Proposal, are outlined in Staff Report 85:501 dated October 14, 1985. DISCUSSION OF LAND USE PROPOSALS A. West of Foothill Road Parcels 1 and 2 - Various Owners Discussion centered around 670' elevations and a slope of 25 %. Councilman Butler pointed out that two different groups of approximately 100 people put much effort into making determinations of these types of elevations. The visual impact on existing homes in general is another issue to be considered. 1
