The Growth Management Oversight Commission (GMOC) has finalized its 2005 annual
report regarding compliance with the City's quality of life threshold standards. The
report reflects the outcome of analysis of information presented by various City
departments and external agencies regarding the impacts of growth on each of the 11
facility and service topics covered by the threshold standards. The report addressed each
threshold in terms of current compliance, issues, and corresponding recommendations.
Notice of the hearing was given in accordance with legal requirements, and the hearing was held
on the date and at the time specified in the notice.
Deputy Mayor Davis opened the public hearing.
Planning Director Sandoval stated that due to the lack of a Planning Commission quorum, the
Council and GMOC should hold the public hearing, take input and then close the public hearing.
The report will then be sent to the Planning Commission for recommendations and back to the
Council for action on a future agenda.
