William Daugherty, 2600 La Golondrim Street, stated this plan showed that the Traffic Circulation Element is deficient and recommended approval of the circulation plan be withheld until the problems were worked out.

Phil Carter stated that at one time the City accepted park land from developers that was not usable as a park. However, that is no longer true, and all park land that is dedicated must be usable land or it is not acceptable to the City.
