GENERAL INFORMATION: A. Background: On August 28, 1973 the Planning Commission accepted the Final EIR No. 188 and approved a preannexational change of zone (ZC-125) from E-1-A (County) to P-C (Planned Community) for the subject property. Master Plan No. 132 was denied at that time because the proposed density of 7 d.u./acre (gross) would require a General Plan Amendment. The applicant appealed this decision to the City Council. At that time the applicant agreed to limiting the density to 7 dwelling units per net acre, which would not necessitate a General Plan Amendment. The City Council referred the matter back to the Planning Commission for report. The Planning Commission reported back to the City Council that no positive action should occur until a more detailed Master Plan was sub- mitted. On October 16, 1973, the City Counc.il did agree with the Planning Commission request, and held any final action in abeyance until the Planning Commission acted upon a more definitive Master Plan. The present request represents the requested revised Master Plan. B.
