REPORT PREPARED BY: Ray Severn, community Development Director

On October 17, 1996, the City Council approved for submittal to Coastal Commission 14 Coastal Plan-General Plan-Zoning map changes. On May 13, 1997, the Coastal Commission approved 3 of those changes. The Coastal Commission did not make any modifications in their approval. Before the City can change the maps however, the City needs to pass by resolution, an acceptance of the Coastal Commission’s actions.

The action before the Council is administrative in nature, the map change analysis and environmental review has already been evaluated. As a result, there are no critical issues associated with this proposal.

The proposed changes are amendments to the City’s Coastal Plan and Zoning maps. The may be changed by the City or private property owner’s in the future by following amendment procedures as necessary. The proposed changes still reflect current staff recommendation for land use designations for the subject sites. If the Council does not concur with the proposed changes, the Council could direct staff to withdraw the proposal from further consideration by the Coastal Commission. Otherwise, the Council should adopt the attached resolution. Staff would then forward the resolution to the Coastal Commission again for final action. The City could then change the maps.
