Discussion of Planning Issues
Final Draft Work Plan for 2010
Staff came back with a draft of the 2009 list of items showing comments made by Board members at
the March meeting and the addition of one item. The Board went over them again, deleted the items
that have been accomplished, combined some items and ranked them in order of priority. Staff will
revise the list into a final 2010 Work Plan. We will start soon with item no. 1 - perhaps bring a report
to the Board from the Abandoned Buildings Taskforce.
Comprehensive Plan Elements
The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element is being brought up to date by staff since 1998,
especially with regard to the bonuses for FAR that were eliminated from zoning. In addition,
recommendations from the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) made in 2007 are being
incorporated into it. Staff gave an overview of the changes that are being made in this element (1 of
11) intended to make it consistent with zoning regulations. The Board asked questions and
expressed concerns. Comments included deleting the last sentence and bullets from Policy 2-2
paragraph 4 and for the density to be re-examined for new and rehabilitated buildings to ensure that
the Comp Plan is not more restrictive than zoning.
Motion: Stolar/Beloff. Vote 7-0. Approve as proposed by staff with amendments noted above.
