Public Workshop on Draft Specific Plan
The objective of the May 26 workshop was to formulate a "set of revisions" to the plan that will be the preferred option for discussion at future public hearings on the Draft Specific Plan. The "set of revisions" will be similar to an errata sheet that will help focus public debate on the plan. It is not the City’s intention that the "set of revisions" be considered final decisions about the contents of the specific plan, but rather a consensus about the direction that the plan should take.
Public Hearings to consider approval the Draft Specific Plan will be scheduled for dates in the future that are yet-to-be determined. Separate public notice will be given for those hearings.
