ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
1. Mr. Gene Moore, asked about the planned development of the
Hillcrest Property and what legal moves the Council would be required
to take before the development could take place.
Councilman Nagel advised that he understood there were two con-
ditions imposed -- that the buyer be allowed to develop the property to
its present zoning, which is primarily R -2, and that the buyer be able
to develop and get a permit from the Coastal Commission, since the
land falls within these boundaries. Stated that an Environmental Impact
Report would not be required because an environmental review had been
made on the property during the preparation of the Land Use Element of
the General Plan and that the zoning had not changed since that time.
2. Mr. Gerhardt Van Drie, 724 West Pine Avenue, inquired if
there were any requirements in the General Plan relative to an Environ-
mental Impact Report being required based on a certain amount of grading
that would be done on a project.
Planning Director Loverde advised that if the project required
discretionary action, an environmental review would be required, but a
project requiring ministerial action would not be subject to environmental
review.
