City Manager's Recommendation -.
This is an appeal to the City Council and the testimony and
evidence presented to the City Council at the council meeting
will have to be weighed to determine if the appeal is in
order or if the appeal should be upheld. A recommendation
from the City Manager would not be appropriate at this time.
Council Action
9-18-73 Following discussion by the Council the Public Hearing was
reopened and the matter continued to October 2, 1973, The
staff was directed to amplify the Planning Commission's
reasons for denial.
10-2-73 The Council upheld the appeal and referred the matter back to
the Planning Commission for reconsideration of those items
contained in the Planning Director's report dated 9-25-73,
and modification of the project in accord therewith.
10-16-73 It was agreed that the Council withhold further action in order
that the project can be redesigned so as to: (a) grade existing
topography to accomodate a single-family detached housing project
which meets the intent of P-C Zoning; (b) provide functional and
useable Open Space; and (c) provide amenities to the development
in exchange for the potential of smaller lot sizes.
