5. Economic Commission Permit Process Streamlining Subcommittee Recommendations-
Comments included the following: It was specifically noted that RCC reports and
comments on EIR's and that these formal hearings should not be duplicated as it is
already done in the Planning Commission. Kracha made note that changes were made
to the RCC charter a couple years ago without receiving any feedback from the City
Attorney. He suggests the ordinance should stand as approved, which allows RCC to
call public hearings as necessary. The charter also needs to be reworded to the fact
that RCC also reviews negative declarations and historical sites. Requests further
information from City Attorney on this issue.
