Page 11 Mr. Jamieson indicated he doesn't support the proposed ordinance in its present form as it needs more work. He further said that in using guidelines through the General Plan as suggested earlier would create more problems in interpretations. Mr. Harris said it would be understood these would be guidelines and asked Mr. Swift to comment on the legal aspects of the two alternatives. Mr. Swift stated he would hope there wouldn't be too much difference in the outcome using General Plan guidelines over an ordinance. He said each project would have to conform to the General Plan and all policies established would have to be addressed thru public hearings. He said, however if the Commission wants specific ideas on what should be developed in the hillside, it should put these into an ordinance. He explained specific requirements vs. guidelines.
