The Council considered the proposed revision of the National City
General Plan. Mayor Morgan asked if after Council adopts the General
Plan, streets are found that can be zoned R-1 (maybe some in the south
part of the City, some in the north part of the City, some in the east
or west parts of the City) that can be zoned R-1 and Council rezones
them can all of these changes be incorporated into one amendment to
the General Plan? three changes a year are allowed and this (rezoning
of a number of areas) would be one change, is that right? (Councilman
Pinson arrived 4:12 p.m.) Planning Director Gerschler said that is
right; you can have three amendments to the General Plan in a one-year
period; this could be on any one of the three. Mayor Morgan said if
there are 30 locations and Council agreed to rezone those 30 locations
R-1, this could be a single amendment; there would still be two more to
go; he is ,satisfied now that has been made clear.
Planning Director Gerschler said he has reported that they were not
sure about the Environmental Impact Report and what they would have to
do in that regard; Don Rose, of the Planning Department, has been in
contact with the State Resources Agency with the people who administer
the environmental quality act; he learned that it is possible to file
a negative declaration on a General Plan and not have to go through the
hearing process; they gave him a list of the things to look for in the
General Plan before that decision is made; the adopted guidelines give
the Environmental Impact Committee, which consists of the City Manager,
City Engineer, Chief Building Inspector and himself, the responsibility
of making the determination of whether or not a full-blown EIR hearing
will be necessary or whether we will go simply the negative declaration
route. Mr. Gerschler said the EIR Committee is meeting on Wednesday
and it will be their recommendation (on the basis of the preliminary
assessment of the Environmental Impact Report which Duncan and Jones
gave them, which has been on file for over a month) that the negative
declaration method be used rather than the full-blown hearing process;
there have been 20 or more public meetings on the General Plan; he does
not believe it has not had every opportunity; if Council has any objec-
tion to this, please advise him between now and Wednesday and it can be
set for hearing.
Moved by Reid, seconded by Camacho, Council adjourn. Carried by
unanimous vote. The meeting closed at :44 p.m.
