<br />Council members, Planning Commission members and [T1embers of the public. The steering <br />committee would primarily guide the development of objectives and policies. Committee <br />members would assist in the visioning process, while the actual drafting will be conducted by <br />staff under the periodic oversight of the steering committee. Presented below is the model: <br /> <br />CITY COUNCIL <br /> <br />Planning Commission <br /> <br />Steering Committee <br />- Council Appointments <br />- Interested Groups <br />- Public <br /> <br /> <br />¡Area Plans I <br /> <br />.

People who have a <br />real interest in the General Plan topics may not be able to be involved in the actual drafting. <br /> <br />b) Advisory Committee <br />The City could also establish one or more planning advisory committees to help identify and <br />draft issues, policies, as well as to encourage public participation. There could be separate <br />committees formed around the various required elements (e.g. land use, circulation, etc.) or <br />one major advisory committee for all the elements. An example of an advisory committee was <br />the Redwood Shores land use subcommittee that examined the Tidal Plain (TP) zoning in <br />Redwood Shores. <br /> <br />Advisory committees could be made up of Council members, Planning Commissioners, the <br />general public, and interested groups and/or agencies.
