FIRST READING Director of Planning Peterson submitted a report to the Council in which he analyzed the applicant's plan declaring that it does conform substantially with the criteria established by the Council except that it still proposes 11 acres of "recreational open space" on either side of the arena. The staff has modified this plan so that the two il-acre areas are designated as "open space". On June 4, 1973, the Planning Commission reiterated its denial of the amendment to the General Development Plan. Director of Planning Peterson stated it was his recommendation to approve the amendment to the General Development Plan subject to the recommended conditions. He further asked for guidelines from the Council as to the balance of the property outside the sports arena area. A previous staff recommendation was that it be rezoned to A-8, or modify the General Development Plan to change the density to two units an acre. In this way, the applicant could come in and submit a modification to the balance of that property. Moratorium discussed A discussion followed during which Councilman Scott questioned whether a moratorium on that property would be an effective solution.

He then discussed the needed services which must be provided for such a development: fire, police, public facilities. He added that the plan looks good but commented that there was no guarantee that the plan would be held to that as submitted. In answer to Councilman Hobel's query, Mr. Thomson agreed that there would have been a longer period of deficits if the E1 Rancho del Rey proposal was approved, because of the nature of the development (housing). Revisions to Environmental Councilman Scott questioned the condition which Impact Report stipulated that prior to issuance of a building permit for the arena, the applicant shall prepare revisions to the Environmental Impact Report to reflect changes in the General Development Plan.
