Item IV.a. Minutes of August 8, 2022
I may be a poor reader, but to me much of these minutes borders on the incomprehensible.
For example, on page 3, I have great difficulty deciphering the last sentence of paragraph 3
from the end:
“Deputy Community Development Director Campbell stated that the housing development is
using current residential properties that already considers infrastructure needs, relayed the
developers’ responsibility for related costs, and noted an ongoing deficiency infrastructure
analysis and inclusions in the Master Plan and Capital Improvement Project (CIP) program to
examine and address related upgrade costs.”
I can only guess “ongoing deficiency infrastructure analysis” might be an “ongoing infrastructure
deficiency analysis” and “Master Plan” might be the “Master Plan of Streets and Highways,” but
even then, I am largely lost.
I suspect at least the following are typos –
Page 4, paragraph 5 from the end: “Task number 3.7: General Plan Build-Out Analysis - Deputy
Community Development Director Campbell relayed that a detailed analysis and GPAC review
is needed to access assess housing units and non-residential development in preparation for a
ballot vote.” [noting this would read more smoothly if “in preparation for a ballot vote” came
before “a detailed analysis and GPAC review,” rather than at the end]
Page 6, Item e, paragraph 3: “Committee Member Carter favored incorporating various
commissions, while David Tanner suggested including an expert for each element, government
representation, Airport Land Use Commission, representatives from other cities, one overall
committee with subcommittees reporting to a larger committee, and diversity.”
Page 6, Item e, paragraph 6: “Chuck Fancher suggested including the City’s Water Quality and
Coastal Tidelines Tidelands Committee and affordable housing operations.”
