REPORT OF CITY MANAGER Report on E1 Rancho del City Manager Cole submitted a written report Rey planning listing in chronological order the actions of the Council taken on the E1 Rancho del Rey area. Mr. Cole made the following conclusions: (1) Seek preliminary plans for the 450 acre area from qualified devel- opers; (2) Complete the first phases of the traffic assignment studies; City Council Meeting 7 June 17, 1975 (3) Apply the 450 acre preliminary plan information to the traffic model; (4) Establish a community committee to review the plans and recommend a proposal; (5) Contract with a planning consultant to develop a final plan based on the adopted preliminary plan proposal. Preliminary plans from Councilman Scott questioned the rationale other developers of this condition. City Manager Cole explained that the City would, of course, have to pay these devel- opers for these plans. He added that he had a chance to call one developer about this proposal and received a negative response. Council discussion Discussion ensued as to the feasibility of hiring a consultant, the traffic study which will be ready in six months, timing of the development, and staff input. Alternate suggestions Councilman Hyde felt the need for citizen input at this time was more dominant than that of a consultant and suggested a citizens committee be formed to determine the types of development that should go out there. Councilman Hobel noted that citizens (such as Concerned Citizens I and Concerned Citi- zens II) have been given a chance to say what they want out there and what the City needs now is an outside party with a fresh outlook. Motion for citizens' It was moved by Councilman Hyde and seconded committee by Councilman Hobel that a citizens' committee be established as soon as possible and charge them and the staff to work together to prepare proposed plans for development in the undeveloped portions of E1 Rancho del Rey complex. This should be a Council- appointed commission with a very broad spectrum representing diverse interest in the community. This is to be a 15-man committee with full staff support including funding, if necessary. Based upon the recommendations of this group, the Council shall consider referring these proposals and the material developed through the traffic analysis to consultants for a refined plan. City Council Meeting 8 June 17, 197S Discussion of motion Mayor Hamilton said he could support the motion if it related to alternatives and the hiring of a consultant to bring forth those alternatives to this Council- appointed commission. Addition to motion It was moved by Councilman Hyde and seconded by Councilman Hobel that the following state- ment be added to the motion: "That if this committee recommends downstream that the assistance of a consultant be provided, that it would be valuable to them to have consul- tants' services, such an action would be supported." Motion failed The motion failed by the following vote, to-wit: Ayes: Councilman Hyde NOES: Councilmen Scott, Hobel, Hamilton Absent: Councilman Egdahl Motion for It was moved by Councilman Scott and seconded moratorium by Councilman Hobel that a moratorium be put on the 450 acre property and that the staff be directed to look into the possibility of hiring a consultant with the broad charge of alternatives for this 450 acres - that this be brought back to the City Council. Discussion of motion Councilman Hobel stated that in preparing the request for bid, that the economic factors be considered along with the alter- native or potential uses. Included in motion Councilman Scott included this in his motion and added the following: "That a community committee be established to review this and have input from the community on an on-going project as to both the traffic and as the consultant comes in with information. This committee can be formed at any time." Discussion of addition Councilman Hobel noted that the consultant to motion will be interviewing the Council, staff and citizens groups. Councilman Scott explained that the citizens committee will be giving input to the consultant, have some input on the traffic reports as these come out in the next six (6) months, and after this has been completed, they will be able to make a good logical recommendation to the City Council. City Council Meeting 9 June 17, 1975 Councilman Hobel commented that the committee should be set up early in this stage. City Manager Cole remarked that he will take the Council's comments and develop a state- ment as to what will be expected of the consultant. This will be brought back to the Council for final modification before submitting it to bid. Speaking against motion Councilmsn Hyde spoke against the motion indicating that neither the staff nor the community have been given a chance to "tackle" this problem.
