In conclusion, Mr. Harris stated that this general plan amendment is to correct that oversight. Discussion took place over word terminology designation of sand and gravel harvesting lands, with Commissioners Doherty and Jamieson feeling provision should be made in the General Plan map text for description, at least, of what sand and gravel harvesting operation means. They recommended using "strip mining," to designate such lands. Commissioner Jamieson asked whether a condition could be imposed which would require the developer to advise people that sand and gravel lands are located adjacent to residential property. Secretary Harris stated that this condition could be imposed at the prezoning stage. Considerable discussion took place regarding feasibility o_f_ changing the General Plan text to better illustrate sand and gravel harvesting lands. Various definitions were proposed and Secretary Harris stated that the General Plan did not have a definitions section. Mr. Levine stated State law refers to strip mining as surface mining. It was decided that staff would take the foregoing under advisement. The Public Hearing was opened to discuss the negative declaration filed for this project. No one spoke and the Public Hearing was closed. Resolution No. 1499 was entered and adopted making the finding that the amendment could not have a significant adverse effect on the environment and recommending to the City Council that a negative declaration be prepared for the project.
