NEW BUSINESS:
1.
Review of Negative Declaration IS-92-10, ECS So. Bay Head Start - comments
included Hall's concern of the inspection and maintenance of the fence around the
drainage ditch. It should be inspected not less than once a quarter and be maintained
by the city. It is further suggested that the Mitiqation Necessarv to Avoid Sianificant
Effects (Page 5, Number F-2) should read: "The opening between structures on the
east side of the site shall be closed off by shrubbery and a wooden gate." After brief
discussion, it was then MSUP (Kracha/Fox) to accept the Mitigated Negative Dec with
the additional noted comments on the maintenance of the drainage ditch and the
change of wording noted above; motion carried 4-0.
2. Review of Negative Declaration IS-92-20, Rollerskateland - Comments included the
following: On Page 1, Paragraph A: Change the word "flaunted" to "bounded". Ray
expressed concern of possible graffiti and the need for security in the area. It was
suggested that Rollerskateland seek permission to use the Office Depot parking lot tor
its overflow during non-business hours, and avoid parking on the streets. It was then
MSUP (Fox/Ray) to approve the Negative Declaration; motion carried 4-0.
3. Review of Negative Declaration IS-92-29, Hazard/KolI 5th And C Street - There were
several significant environmental impacts noted on Pages 3-4 requiring mitigation.
After brief discussion, it was MSUP (Kracha/Fox) to approve the Mitited Negative
Declaration subject to the Mitiaation Necessarv to Avoid Sianificant Effects as stated
on Pages 4-5; motion carried 4-0.
4.
In an attempt to set a hearing date for Historical District Ordinance, John Kracha
announced he will be absent May 11 to the end of June. Due to an RCC vacancy, it
was requested of Staff to request the City Council to appoint a new member as soon
as possible for a quorum at meetings. In the meantime, a hearing date was tentatively
set for May 18, 1992 on the Historical District Ordinance.

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.
