AGENDA ITEM COMMUNICATIONS In response to inquiry by Chairman Schick, Mike Holzmiller advised the Commission of a series of meetings to be scheduled for revisions to the La Costa Master Plan. The initial meeting was proposed by staff to be held in La Costa to obtain citizen input on the matter. Chairman Schick and Commissioner Jose expressed concerns that a meeting in La Costa, rather than at City Hall, would tend to em- phasize the existing polarization of the City. In response, Mr. Hagaman indicated this meeting would include the first presentation by the consultant. In order to encourage the desired input by citizens impacted by the La Costa Master Plan, it was staff's position to make the public hearing as accessible and con- venient as possible to La Costa residents. Mr. Hagaman further indicated a subsequent meeting held jointly with the City Council and the finai hearing for Council approval would be scheduled as usual. It was the consensus of Commission that a noticed public hearing be scheduled for Tuesday, September 16, 1980 at 8:00 P.M. in the St. Elizabeth Seton Church in La Costa.

Chairman Schick opened the public hearing at 7:46 P.M. and extended the invitation to speak. The Commission recognized the applicant, James Runzo, 355 Elm Avenue, Carlsbad.
