Fire Fighters information The Council noted the survey received from the Fire Fighters noted of their benefits using governmental agencies selected by the firm of Arthur Young and Company. S. DISCUSSION OF GROWTH Director of Planning Peterson referred to his list of Nt~NAGEMENT POLICIES questions regarding growth policies. City Manager Cole explained the background and the need for a growth management policy plan. (1.) How should the United Director of Planning Peterson noted the Telegraph Canyon Enterprise property on the property (Phase 4) which should be in an early phase; how- south side of Telegraph ever, on the General Plan it is designated as agricul~u=e Canyon Road be treated? and reserve, and the property owner is not interested in developing it at this time. Councilman Scott indicated the numbering of the phase was meaningless but a notation should be placed on it so that at the time of development, it would have to meet the criteria of the west to east development. The Council concurred with'Chis:concept. (2.) Should the policy be It was the concurrence of the Council that the policy should worded in a fashion that be sufficiently clear so that it is not necessary to refer would require Council matters to the Council on a case by case basis, as a normal interpretation on a word routine; however, where there may be unusual problems, then by word basis? Or should it would be appropriate to seek Council clarification. it be worded so that the staff can respond to inquiries? Held Thursday - 4:00 p.m. -2- May 8, 1980 (3.) Should Long Canyon Hearing no objections from the Council, the Mayor be included in Phase 17 remarked that Long Canyon should be included in Phase 1. City Manager Cole commented on his statement that the ques- tions and the plan were all one "rather narrow approach to growth management," and in following this method, the existing plan is simply being "worked over to some degree." Discussion of phases Individual comments from the members of the Council center- ed around their feelings of having the plan divided into phases; the San Diego City growth management plan; occur- rence of developments following the west to east criteria; leap-frog developments. Mayor Hyde indicated he would like to see three (3) phases: Phase 1: Development is ready to go; Phase 2: If develop- ment isn't ready to go right now, it is "on deck"; Phase 3: Not ready for development. Fire station facility City Manager Cole discussed the fire station at the college area which was built prior to its utlimate use and it is s~ill not serving the area that it could. He added that it would make sense to have expansion develop in that area so that this service (fire station) would be economical. Development Services Administrator Roberts commented on the street sweeping equipment that must go out into the college area on a regular basis. 80% Factor Councilman Scott suggested having ail the infrastructures needed to be put into an area (schools, water, police, sewer, etc.), and after reaching this point and everything is paid for, then it would be feasible for developments to go on from there. Mayor Hyde expressed his concerns on the operating costs of providing these services. Discussion followed regarding the distance traveled to pro- vide these services; the suggestion of having a satellite public works center in the area to be provided by the de- veloper complete with the needed equipment; having develop- ments occur contiguous with other developments from west to east; the question of the need of phasing if the west to east criteria is followed; the construction of all infra- structures. Schools In answer to the Planning Director's query, the Council's comments were that schools should be in place at the time of occupancy of the subdivisions. Mayor Hyde noted that if someone were to come in and ask for development on the eastern edge of Southwestern College Estates, it would be most illogical, in his opinion. That is the fixed boundary line of a phase and the Council §hould hold the line on development beyond that point until there has been more in-filling of the bypassed area. Mayor Hyde felt the policy should indicate this. Question of phasing Continuing the discussion on the questionability of phasing, Mayor Hyde said he strongly feels phasing is appropriate; Councilman Scott remarked that it depends on what the phases are and how they are constructed; Councilwoman McCandliss commented that it is important to have a schematic managing theory on the phasing and that she personally feels the plan now has too many phases. Held Thursday - 4:00 p.m. -3- May 8, 1980 It was the concurrence of the Council that there should be some indication on the map and in the text that would indicate that there is a certain area where growth is definitely acceptable on the west to east plan and that that would constitute a phase. Councilman Gillow said he was undecided as to whether or not there should be either two or three phases. Councilman Cox reiterated that the policy should allow for some flexibility for consideration of something that may be advantageous to the City. Councilman Scott felt that the E1 Rancho del Rey area (Gersten's) should not be a phase but should develop along the west to east criteria on its own. General Objectives Councilwoman McCandliss stated that the general objectives should serve as guidelines and questioned the objectives, Numbers 3, 8, 14 and 15 in the staff's report, as not having enough detail to achieve them. Director of Planning said the staff will elaborate on those items. Craig Beam Mr. Beam thanked the Council for its direction to staff in Cadillac Fairview clarifying the terms of the growth plan. Dick Brown Mr. Brown commented on the County's plan which was developed Gersten Company as another General Plan and now they are going through the process of amending one or the other. 4. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT City Manager Cole presented the Council with copies of the supplemental budget. 5. MAYOR'S REPORT None 6. COUNCIL CO~4ENTS Economic Development Task Councilman Gillow presented the requests of the Economic Force requests Task Force. Motion to approve mailing It was moved by Councilman Gillow, seconded by Mayor Hyde of questionnaires and unanimously carried that the request of the Economic Task Force to mail the questionnaires (as presented to the Council on May 6, 1980) to local residents, relating to buying habits in the City's area, be approved. Ramada Inn issue Councilman Gillow reported that the second request of the Task Force was to urge that the issue of the proposed Ramada Inn on the bayfront be thoroughly reviewed regarding architectual design, layout and the proposed Recreational Vehicle Park. The Task Force strongly felt that the RV Park would only further deteriorate the image of the City and the design itself is of a definite unacceptable standard. Councilman Gillow noted that the Council has already done this. Request of Chamber of A letter was given to the Council from the Chamber of Commerce regarding Commerce requesting that a member of the Board of Directors budget sessions of the Chamber sit with the Council at the budget sessions as a non-voting member. This person could provide the Council with the views and feeling of the business community. Motion to disapprove request It was moved by Mayor Hyde, seconded by Councilman Gillow that the staff communicate with the Chamber of Commerce and state that the Council welcomes and encourages their (Chamber) attendance at the budget session5 but cannot accede to their request that they be a party, non-voting or other- wise, in the routine budget deliberations.
