8.A. - Page 11 of 12 PUBLIC NOTICE Public Notification was achieved by posting the agenda, with the agenda items being listed, at least 72 hours prior to the meeting. Additionally, the public notice was published in the local newspaper and sent to via email to interested parties ALTERNATIVES As an alternative to the recommended approach, the City Council could consider a comprehensive, Citywide General Plan update. This would be a much more significant endeavor, requiring more time and resources. Similar to the recommended approach, the station area planning efforts would be the first step, and staff would prepare a Request for Proposals (RFPs) for a visioning and engagement effort, develop a work plan in spring of 2020 and present a proposal to the City Council in the summer of 2020. Once a work plan is approved, the visioning and engagement exercise would likely require 12-18 months, carrying through 2021 and would include preparation of an outcomes report that would inform a longer- term strategy to update the General Plan. The final steps in the process to update the General Plan include environmental review and drafting new language for the General Plan. Finally, the City Council could decide to defer updating the General Plan to a future date. This could increase the likelihood that the City would receive project proposals requiring General Plan Amendments for an extended period of time.
