The Clerk replied that affidavits of publication and mailing were in her file, as well as the files of the Planning Commission and City Council to date. The Mayor announced that these files would be made a part of this hearing. The Mayor inquired if any written communications had been received, to which the Clerk replied that none had been received. Planning Director Loverde reported on the developments of this Precise Plan and that the Planning Commission had reached a deadlocked decision and therefore had forwarded its Resolution No. 768 to the Council without recommendation. City Attorney Allen advised that as the result of Proposition 20, this plan is now subject to approval by the Regional Coastal Commission and that under the terms of the California Environmental Quality Act, final approval of the precise plan could not be given until an Environmental Impact Report is adopted. Mr. Loverde suggested that conceptual approval be considered. The Mayor inquired if anyone present wished to speak in this matter.

The Clerk replied that affidavit of publication was in her file, as well as the files of the Planning Commission and City Council to date. The Mayor stated these files would be made a part of this hearing. The Mayor then inquired if any written communications had been re- ceived, to which the Clerk replied that none had been received. Planning Director Loverde reviewed the proposed amendment and advised that the Planning Commission had reached a deadlocked decision in this matter and had forwarded its Resolution No. 770 to the Council for action without recommendation. The Mayor inquired if anyone present wished to speak in favor of this proposed amendment to the City Code. Mrs. Kathryn Harmsen, 336 Loma Vista Street stated that it was unreasonable to ask people to pay for something that was done 20 years ago. City Attorney Allen stated that citizens should be encouraged to ask the Planning Department to make an investigation regarding their property rather than waiting until the time of sale of the property. Mr. Dwight Morrison, 724 Penn Street, asked for relief from the financial burden the denial would place upon him. The Mayor then inquired if anyone present wished to speak in opposi- tion to the proposed amendment. City Manager Jones expressed concern because, if approved, a precedent would be set for subsequent actions. Stated that this matter had been denied by the Planning Commission as a variance and this appears to be a way to bypass the City Code, making the variance procedure meaningless.
