Councilmember McGovern wanted staff to have some program or policy to continue to work with DSRSD to make sure there is a plan. She asked if the list of hazardous materials on page v-17 had been updated to include electronic waste and their disposal. Principal Planner Stern said that was addressed in the Public Facilities and Community Programs Element where it talked about E-waste Day and other recycling programs. Council member McGovern suggested a cross-reference be included. She then referred to aviation hazards and asked if there were policies for mitigations for noise and setting standards for noise levels. Principal Planner Stern pointed out this was the Public Safety Element and staff was looking more at the problems from a plane crash. Noise levels would be reviewed under the Noise Element and acknowledged the airport would be a noise source. She also noted there is an airport protection area which prohibits construction of housing around an airport. Council member McGovern felt there should be footnotes cross-referencing things in other Elements, so the public knows where to look for topics. She cited page v-28, Program 6.4 where she had trouble reading a sentence with the strikeouts. Principal Planner Stern agreed the sentence was awkward, but said that referred to Figure 5-1, defining landslide zones. The orange area is designated "mostly landslides." There are also areas of "few landslides." The sentence in question is referring to that map. Council member McGovern turned to page v-34, Goal 8, and said she believed the word ''feasible" should be struck out. The city should provide the highest quality of police services within the city. Councilmember Brozosky responded to Councilmember McGovern's concerns and said Policy 18 does address the disposal of hazardous waste in the city. He then addressed the change of the setback from 50 feet to 100 feet from a fault and asked if already approved developments had been reviewed to see if there were houses that would have been affected by this. He asked if there had been problems in places where building was allowed within 100 feet and is that why the setback was being changed. Director Iserson said there was an issue with Golden Eagle Farm and the problem of finding the exact location of the fault within that development. He was unaware of any problems in that area. Director Wilson indicated 50 feet has been the accepted standard for some time and used successfully throughout California. The reason for changing to 100 feet is that when the exact location of a fault is unknown, an estimated location is drawn and that could be off by 25 feet. Council member Brozosky referred to Program 26.2, "submit all discretionary use permits to the Police Department for analysis of and recommendations to reduce impacts on police services." He asked what kind of discretionary use permits were covered by this. General Plan Workshop Minutes 15 August 29, 2006
