NEWPORT BEACH mr'Y N >90 ^ m Z Z MINUTES &L CALL ` ^ P p ADri 1 26. 1973 Chairman Glass reviewed the applications and stated that the Commission has received 7 letters -- 2 in favor and 5 in opposition and one of the letters in opposition contained 13 signatures. Chairman Glass further stated that the Central Newport Beach Community Association delivered a letter which stated that an 18 member committee has been formed to meet weekly to analyze proposed zoning ordinances and to formulate positive recommendation for approval of their general membership at the annual meeting on May 21, 1973. Therefore, the Association requested that the Commission consider withholding any recommendation to Council in this matter pending the availability of Association's suggestions immediately following the May 21st . meeting. Commissioner Heather stated she would accept the Association's position and would recommend taking this off the calendar or continuing it since action has been delayed on the Residential Growth and Land Use Elements. In response to the Planning Commission, Assistant City Attorney Baade stated that the City is a charter city and free from time restrictions set forth in the State Code. Mr. Baade further stated that if legal action resulted because General Plan was not completed by deadline or zoning not con- sistent with the General Plan, the City Attorney's office felt the action of the court would be to. order the City to complete its General Plan and make zoning consistent with General Plan within limits of manpower available to Community Develop- ment Director. Community Development Director Hogan stated that an action of continuance would be consistent with action by the Commission in the past. Mr. Hogan further cited the Commission's granting a request to people forming an association in Corona del Mar and when their recommendations are ready, they will present them to the Commission. Chairman Glass stated that the Commission and the City have been criticized for not heeding the con- cerns of people within the area, the majority of • whom desire no change; however, the City.is looking for positive means to resolve existing problems.
