REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT
General Plan Amendment No. 91-13
Mayor and Common Council Meeting of July 20, 1992
REOUEST
This is a City initiated proposal to amend the text of the General
Plan to eliminate the requirement for marketing and financing
analyses to determine long term feasibility (feasibility study) and
conversion plans for publicly assisted senior citizen housing
projects.
BACKGROUND
This issue was discussed during the Development Code adoption
process and deferred until after adoption of the Code. A General
Plan Amendment was prepared to delete the requirement for the
feasibility study and conversion plan, as directed by the Mayor and
Common Council. The Planning commission reviewed the amendment and
recommended approval on a split vote (not a majority vote).
The Mayor and Common Council reviewed the amendment at their
meeting of June 1, 1992, referred it to Legislative Review
Committee and continued the public hearing until July 20, 1992.
The LRC discussed the proposed amendment at its meetings of
and July 9, 1992. LRC tabled the item on the recommendation of
staff.
MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL OPTIONS
1. The Mayor and Common Council may adopt General Plan Amendment
No. 91-13 based on the findings in the resolution.
2. The Mayor and Common Council may table the General Plan
Amendment.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Mayor and Common Council table this
amendment to the General Plan. staff feels, based on issues raised
at the Council meeting and LRC meetings, that further review is
required. Instead of completely eliminating the requirement for a
feasibil i ty study, the purpose of and contents of feasibil i ty
studies should be outlined (ie. is there a need for the project vs.
should the City assist financially). We may also wish to better
define what is included in the definition of a publicly assisted
project. Also, the requirement for a conversion plan should be
separated from the requirement for a feasibility study.
