Mr. Tarver felt the point was well taken. The General Plan review is supposed to be every five years and it has taken us ten years to do this one. If there was a need and the Council wanted to suggest to the voters that it be moved for whatever reason, it could take the matter to the voters. But if the General Plan says it can only be done during a comprehensive General Plan review, then he felt someone could argue that is not consistent with the General Plan and should not be done. Ms. Dennis felt that at a comprehensive review of the General Plan, the entire General Plan is reviewed and she felt this paragraph about adjustment of the urban growth boundary line is a double restfiction and she is not sure of all the ramifications. She is comfortable doing one or the other, but not both. Ms. Micheloff felt the action was to say the line is permanent and future adjustments are discouraged. Changing this line should not be willy-nilly and should only be under certain conditions. Major changes could only be done in a normal process at a General Plan update. Mr. Tarvet thought that at one time the argument was we are locking this in and not giving flexibility to future Councils. Now we are locking it in even more. I-Ie did not mind that. Ms. Michelotti was more comfortable with this wording, because her issue was that someone would never be able to consider it. If you want to strike 'only" and say "should be addressed at the time of future comprehensive General Plan updates", that is okay. Mr. Tarver moved, and Ms. Michdotti seconded, that Council modify the text on page 11-7 to say that since the urban growth boundary is considered to be permanent, future adjustments are discouraged and should only be addressed at the time of future comprehensive General Plan updates; however, minor adjustments may be granted, etc. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmember Michelotti and Mayor Tarver NOES: Councilmembers Dennis, Mohr, and Pico ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None It was moved by Ms. Dennl.~, seconded by Mr. Tarver, to modlfy the Steering Committee recommendation regarding Policy 11 on page 11-18, to modify as follows: HMaintain a permanent Urban Growth Boundary CLIGB) beyond which urban development should not be permitted. n Th~ rQll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers - Dennis, Michelotti, Mohr, Pico, and Mayor Tarver NOES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None 07/02/96 · -17-
