402 <br /> <br /> Mr. Tarver indicated that the SPRC Initiative simDlV states <br /> zhat the underlying zoning would be "Ridgelands Agricultural" until <br /> such time as a plan is put together and is approved by the voters. <br /> <br /> Mr. Roush explained that both the SPRC and the Council can <br /> sponsor an Initiative to put a plan on the ballot. The difference <br /> is that the Council Initiative indicates that the vote will take <br /> place, but the SPRC does not guarantee that it will happen, <br /> although nothing precludes it. <br /> <br /> Mr. Brandes stated that Section 5. Implementation (D) should <br /> read "...in the next regular or special election..." so that the <br /> citizens' plan will not have to wait for a long time in case it <br /> misses the regular election. He added that he needed some <br /> clarification regarding the plan going to the Council and the <br /> Planning Commission. <br /> <br /> Ms. Mohr commented that the Initiative indicated that when the <br /> council receives the citizens' committee's recommendations, the <br /> report would be sent directly to the Planning Commission, which <br /> would not have the normal responsibilities of review or comment. <br /> She added that the citizens' committee would not do an analysis to <br /> make sure that all legal requirements are met and that the <br /> recommendations are consistent with the General Plan, which is <br /> ultimately the responsibility of the Planning Commission and the <br /> Council. <br /> <br /> Mr. Roush stated that the normal process of review and <br /> recommendation is included in the concept of "comment," including <br /> giving direction to the Planning Commission to make a <br /> recommendation as provided by law for General Plan amendments. <br /> <br /> Ms. Mohr inquired if the Council Initiative provides that the <br /> normal process would be followed. <br /> <br /> Mr. Roush said yes. <br /> <br /> 14r. Tarver inquired if a General Plan amendment would require <br /> an EIR under the normal process. <br /> <br /> Mr. Roush replied that it would. He continued that <br /> Section 5. <D) could include a line that states thaE the City <br /> Council shall submit the recommendations of the citizens' <br /> committee, as reviewed by the Planning Commission and acEed upon by <br /> the City Council, for ratification by the vote of the people of <br /> Pleasanton at the next regular or special election. <br /> <br /> 7 -7-90 <br /> - 10 - <br /> <br /> <br />
