-------------------------------------------------------------
The Highland Area Plan Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) has
completed work on the recommended land use plan. The CAC
began this phase of the Plan with the review of three alter-
native land use plans prepared by staff. These plans were
rejected by the CAC in favor of a neighborhood-by-neighbor-
hood review using the existing Highland Community Plan as a
base. The CAC, after considerable discussion and debate,
prepared a plan which basically leaves the existing Highland
Community Plan as is north of Highland Avenue, and generally
increases residential densities south of Highland Avenue.
Strip commercial designations along Highland Avenue and
Baseline Street are preserved Or expanded. Foothill areas
are left unchanged. Areas east of Boulder Avenue were
changed to reflect approved Or existing subdivisions.
The CAC itself consisted originally of 25 members appointed
jointly by the Council and Board of Supervisors. Membership
included approximately 40 percent City residents and 60
percent County residents, reflecting the propor~ions of both
population and land area. During the past three to four
months, attendance has included about five to eight persons,
almost all County residents. To date, there has been no
other citizen input.
The CAC's plan was scheduled to be reviewed by the Planning
Commission at a workshop on November 13, 1986, however, that
meeting was cancelled due to lack of a quorum. The review
was rescheduled for the Commission workshop of December 9,
1986. Once the Commission provides input to the~lan, it
will be placed on the Council agenda for their review. At
that pOint, staff will complete work on the Area Plan report
d draft Environmental Impact Report.

Approved
Date
The Planning Commission, at their regularly-scheduled meeting
of December 16, 1986, considered the Highland Area Plan as
proposed by the Citizen Advisory Committee and the various
alternatives which were prepared by the Planning Department.
It was the unanimous opinion of the Planning Commission that
the procedural steps typically identified with approval of
the respective area plans should be maintained and that the
item should be referred back to the Citizen.Advisory Committee
so that public forums could be held in the communitYr with the
Citizen Advisory Committee to make a recommendation to the
Planning Commission and the Planning Commission to hold public
hearings and make a recommendation to the Mayor and Council.
.
On a motion from Commissioner Lightburn, seconded by Com-
missioner Nierman and unanimously carried, the Highland
Area Plan Citizen Advisory Committee was directed to hold
public forums during the week of January 12, 1987 or the
week of January 19r 1987, and report back at a public hearing
of the Planning Commission on February 3, 1987.
The Planning Commission also requested a status report on
needed revisions to the Comprehensive General Plan and
requested a legal opinion from the City Attorney as to the
status of the Comprehensive General Plan in relationship to
its compliance with State mandated guidelines and the Planning,
Zoning and Development Law, 1986.
