10-15-1990 Regular Meeting.~ r MINUTES LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY MEETING OCTOBER 15, 1990 The Local Planning Agency meeting was called to order by John Sargent on October 8, 1990 at 7:30 P.M. Members present were James Brown, Marilyn George, Edward Ivey. Members Bonnie Kranz Adelbert Evans, Carlos Solis, Don Smith and Peter Bertronaschi were excused. Mr. Harker stated that at the last meeting held October 8, 1990 the Conservation Element and the Recreation and Open Space Element were discussed. At tonight's meeting we will discuss the Housing Element and hear any further comments regarding the Conservation Element and the Recreation and Open Space Element. HOUSING ELEMENT Mr. Harker stated that the principle source for all of the information within the Housing Element comes from the 1980 Census. Therefore this element will not be very accurate due to the age of the data. However, this element will be updated as soon as the 1990 Census data is available. Mr. Harker stated that due to this fact the principle benefit of this element would be in the projection's of the type of households and the amount of units that will be needed in the City within the next 10 years. Realistically then, the best part of this element and the part that we should probably pay the most attention to will be the Goals, Objectives and Policies, which is the adoptable portion. Mr. Harker asked for input, corrections, or clarification on a page by page review of this element. Further discussion followed regarding different aspects of the Housing Element and the Goals, Objectives and Policies. Resident Mark Edwards asked for a definition of the word "decent" as used in the area discussing the Provision of housing for Households with Special Needs. Mr. Harker stated that perhaps this wording should be changed, due to the different interpretations possible of the word decent. Ms. George stated that perhaps the wording should be changed to safe, sanitary and affordable, rather than decent. This wording change was agreed to be acceptable by the LPA Committee and the public present. Resident Mark Edwards asked, in regard to Policy 1-4, if the City had already zoned certain area's that would ensure the availability of sites for special need residents. Mr. Saunders stated that our current existing classifications include areas for all types of housing. The City will have one year to adopt new development regulations and a new zoning map, following submittal of the Comprehensive Plan, which will be in conformance with the Plan. The remainder of the Goals, Objectives and Policies were discussed and changes noted. At this point, the public was given the opportunity to give any comments that they might have regarding the Conservation Element or the Recreation and open Space Element. • ~ The Committee was then reminded of the next Local Planning Agency meeting to be held November 19, 1990. The meeting was adjourned. ~~~ ~ - John Sa g t, Cha' man ATTEST: Mimi Hauch, Planning Technician
