470 City Attorney responded that if it did constitute a health hazard and public nuisance in the City , it should be investigated and there were legal reme - dies . Councilman Rhodes noted that the residents in the hills area were looking _ . forward to seeing the plan proceed and some decisions made , and felt they were ready to face up to whatever must be done . Goal Setting . City Manager suggested that Council and Commission might take a few minutes for a very preliminary discussion of goal - setting pro- jects going on now with respect to several elements of the General Plan which were in various stages of completion , to provide examples of what had been done so far . Planning Director distributed to the Council and Commission copies of outlines of goals for several of the elements , and spoke briefly on each : Ranges of Goals Options prepared for the water- front area ; Housing Goals adopted by the Housing Concerns Committee ; and goals relating to Land Use Element , Traffic Circulation , and Conservation . The latter three elements were taken from the 1970 Redwood City General Plan Advisory Committee goals , and began with an introductory paragraph , followed by three basic goals relating to physical environment , social concerns , and environmental quality . He commented on deadlines established by State law , but indicated there is a likelihood that extensions of time would be granted . City Manager pointed out that in reviewing the suggested goals , it would be noted there may be conflicts in listed goals for one area as opposed to another and that reconciliation would be required . Planning Director felt that it was important to adopt a plan as a beginning process , rather than attempt to wait until a "perfect " plan is developed , Commissioner Kerwin expressed his concern and that of the other Commis - sioners with respect to differences between Council and Commission and the hope that in these joint meetings such matters could be reconciled . As an example , he noted that he had read in the newspapers that the City was suggesting that San Carlos Airport be relocated , and viewed this as mean- ing the previous action of the Planning Commission , in suggesting that extension of the airport would be a good thing , as inoperative . He saw this as a conflict between Council goals and the jurisdiction of the Planning Commission . Planning Director responded that , as the City Manager had indicated , there would be conflicts even among the goals of the various elements , as well as between current goals and those recommended in 1970 by various committees . The only thing the City has is an unofficial goal to go by , and the 1970 report did recommend that the airport should be expanded , so that if the City position has changed , he felt it was all the more important to state Adj .
