Ms. Dennis agreed that the Planning Commission should be involved and take public <br />input. Growth management is a hot issue and she felt the more people involved the better. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ayala felt it was a great idea to get informal direction from the Planning <br />Commission, but to keep it informal. She did not understand why an ordinance modification <br />had to be done. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver was not in any hurry. He felt there should be a process and give it time <br />to be reviewed. The power should be shared and there should be an opportunity for the <br />Planning Commission to make recommendations to the Council. <br /> <br /> Ms. Dennis asked if he meant the Planning Commission would advise Council? <br /> Mayor Tarver said yes. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti did not have a problem with the Planning Commission giving guidance, <br />recommendations or input but was unsure where the division of power would be in the growth <br />management process. She felt having a review process of growth management done at the <br />Planning Commission level was unnecessary. She would like informal input from the Planning <br />Commission but keep the ultimate power at the Council level. At a previously held workshop <br />there was a difference of opinion as to what role the Planning Commission should play. There <br />was talk that the Planning Commission would be able to call for exactions. She did not feel this <br />was appropriate. She wanted the Planning Commission to come to a vote on the best project <br />according to growth management and the General Plan. <br /> <br /> It was moved by Mr. Pleo, seconded by Ms. Dennis, to direct staff to initiate a <br />change to the Growth Management Ordinance requiring a scheduled Planning Commission <br />review and recommendation prior to the Couneil's annual review of growth management. <br />The roll call vote was as follows: <br />AYES: Councilmembers - Dennis, Pico and Mayor Tarver. <br />NOES: Councilmember Ayala and Michelotti. <br />ABSENT: None <br />ABSTAIN: None <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver suggested the major allocations of the project categories also be reviewed <br /> by the Planning Commission. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ayala said she looked forward to the Planning Commission's recommendations of <br /> the annual growth management allocations but felt the above process was not needed. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti asked if the Mayor felt having the Planning Commission make <br /> recommendations was appropriate. <br /> <br /> Pleasanton City Council 18 05/19/98 <br /> Minutes <br /> <br /> <br />
