Planning Director Gerschler said these are pieces of the General Plan AB 1301 Program and no zone change is involved; these are only General Plan changes; these are individ- ual pieces of property scattered throughout the community and were not part of neighborhood packages Council has heard in the past. There was discussior. )o one was present in this regard. Moved by Camacho, seconded by Waters, the public hearing be closed on the Proposed General Plan Amendment GP-18-72 admit the 18 changes to the General Plan Map 1985 with all stipulations of the Planning Department be approved and adhered to. Carried by unanimous vote. The CONTINUED HEARING ON AMENDMENT TO THE GENERAL PLAN TO ADD A "COMPATIBI- LITY MATRIX" was held at this time. Planning Director Gerschler said this is an amendment in the text of the General Plan; it does not affect the General Plan map; it has no affect on the zoning or on the use of property. Mr. Gerschler continued the General Plan is written in such a way, for example, some of the C-3 medium commercial zone property is shown on the General Plan for professional use, some of it is shown for neighborhood commercial, some of it is shown for intermediate commercial; so that for a single zone designation C-3 the General Plan gives 7 or 8 varying kinds of commercial uses that could be conducted in that zone; this Matrix says the 4/17/73 251 various kinds of commercial uses in the zoning code are also allowed in the General Plan; the effect of this is that the General Plan doesn't hamstring the existing zoning regulations; by adopting the Matrix (and the Matrix method is simply a chart showing on one side the zone designations and on the other side the descriptions of uses in the General Plan and shows where they are compatible) Council will be using the same technique adopted ay the County of San Diego to solve the same problems under the AB 1301 Program. No one was present in this regard. Moved by Waters, seconded by Pinson, the public hearing be closed and General Plan Amendment to add Compatibility Matrix to the General Plan be approved and all stipulations of Staff be adhered to. Carried by unanimous vote. The HEARING ON PROPOSED PREZONING, ZC-5-73 (BRADLEY ANNEXATION) TO CONSIDER AN AMENDMENT TO THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP TO PREZONE TO TCR-PD (TOURIST, COMMERCIAL RECREATION PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ZONE) CERTAIN PROPERTY IN THE UNINCORPORATED AREA OF THE COUNTY PROPOSED FOR ANNEXATION TO NATIONAL CITY (NORTHEASTERLY CORNER OF THE INTERSECTION OF BONITA ROAD AND BONIT MESA ROAD, AND EASTERLY OF BONITA MESA ROAD AND SOUTHERLY OF THE BONITA GOLF COURSE) was announced at this time. City Clerk Campbell stated that the Certificate of Publication and City Clerk's Affidavit of Mailing Notice of Use District Hearing were on file. Planning Director Gerschler said the Planning Commission recommended denial of this and since the time of Commission's action, the City Council asked the Commission (as a separate item of business) to consider an amendment to the City zoning regulations that would allow an equestrian park as a permitted use; this was necessary after Council found there is no such provision in the existing zoning code. Mr. Gerschler said at the time the Planning Commission heard this prezoning request they learned for the first time that the property owners and applicants were desirous of building a large equestrian park; perhaps had they known of this beforehand they would have brought this to Council's attention and it would have already been taken care of; the Planning Com- mission has set for May 7 a public hearing to consider an amendment to the zoning code to add provisions for an equestrian park. The Planning Director said if this zoning amendment is then approved by the City Council, Council may wish the Commission to rehear the prezoning proposed here; if this is Council's wish, that the Planning Commission rehear after equestrian park regulations are added, then it would probably be best to hold this in abeyance until that case catches up with it. There was discussion. The - Planning Director stated this is not an annexation proceeding; this is a prezoning case prior to annexation; LAFCO indicated that before an annexa- tion is commenced they would prefer that the local agency have the prezoning hearings and settle the zoning. There was further discussion. Moved by Waters, seconded by Camacho, the public hearing be continued to 8:00 p.m. May 8, (City Council Chambers) and the plan be referred back to Planning Commission for action at their May 7 meeting. Carried by the following vote, to -wit: Ayes: Camacho, Reid, Waters, Morgan. Nays: Pinson. NEW BUSINESS (continued) A request by ALICE W.
