IV.CURRENT BUSINESS
Meeting Minutes of March 22, 2023 (Attachment 1)a.
Recommended Action: Review and approve the minutes of March 22, 2023
General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC) Applicants to Fill One Vacancy
(Attachment 2)
b.
At the March 22, 2023, GPUSC meeting, four applicants were recommended for
appointment to fill vacant seats of the GPAC. However, only two vacancies were
posted by the City Clerk's Office, and since that time, an additional member
resigned. There are therefore now three remaining vacant seats to fill.
Recommended Action: Discuss each GPUSC member’s list of most-qualified and
best-suited candidates and, if appropriate, identify the one most qualified applicant
for recommendation to the City Council as an appointment to the GPAC. Also, the
GPUSC should consider reconfirming Susan DeSantis and Harrison Rolfes as
recommended applicants to fill two prior vacancies. In total the new applicant and the
two previous applicants would fill the three vacant seats.
Consideration of Identifying Dudek as the Recommended Consultant for
General Plan Consulting Services
c.
Staff will provide an update on the technical evaluation, cost file, and scope of
services.
Recommended Action: Consider making a recommendation to the City Council that
the City enter into agreement with Dudek to assist with the comprehensive update.
Revised Timeline for Updating the Land Use Elementd.
As mentioned at the March 22, 2023, GPUSC meeting, City staff is recommending
moving the timeline for the Charter Section 423 vote out from March 2024 to
November 2024. This will allow additional time for input from the GPUSC, GPAC,
and the community on the policy changes and zoning overlays required to implement
the Housing Element. This item is also on the GPAC’s agenda.
Recommended Action: Review the GPAC’s recommendation, discuss and consider

delayed until November 2024.
