<br />2)-,7 <br /> <br />because no project definition yet exists. Assuming the EIR can start in August <br />2005, the earliest date Council will be able to adopt the General Plan is April/May <br />2006. <br /> <br />2. Council may wish to explore with staff the possibility of separating out consideration <br />of land use designation changes on undeveloped lands along the bay from the <br />larger General Plan process. Even if the City Council wished to see such <br />recommendations treated separately from the overall General Plan, however, the <br />changes will still require environmental review, and again, this review will be the <br />critical path for this approach. Taken separately, a proposal to change the land use <br />designation of these undeveloped parcels may not elevate to the level of a full EIR <br />since staff presumes that the action might be to conform the General Plan <br />designations to the existing Tidal Plain zoning, which would be expected to have <br />much less environmental impact than a proposal to allow development where none <br />is currently approved. However, even if a full EIR was deemed unnecessary, a <br />Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) would still have to be done, and this could not <br />be certified and the amendments to the General Plan approvable earlier than <br />November/December 2005. <br /> <br />Staff will be prepared to discuss this material with City Council at the July 11,2005 Council <br />meeting. <br /> <br />Fiscal Impact ~ <br />Therewill be no fiscal impact as this is only an informational item. <br /> <br /> <br />c, -z.~~ +;; r- <br />Joel P terson <br />Director, Community <br />Development Services <br /> <br />r:ilti Frt- <br /> <br />Ed Everett <br />City Manager <br /> <br />r' ¿ '" <br />,~/ ('ì';-I. ./ C/~ <br />Michael Church <br />Planning Manager <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />1.
