(b) Exercise such control over land subdi- visions as is granted to it by ordinance not inconsistent with the provisions of this Charter. (c) Make recommendations to the City Council concerning proposed public works and for the clearance and rebuilding of blighted or sub- standard areas within the City. Page 7. CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH • July 3. 1969 COMMISSIONERS U�6 � (d) Exercise such functions with respect to zoning and land use as may be prescribed by ordinance not inconsistent with the provision of this Charter." Most of the Commission's attention has been devoted to Items B and D and a much smaller part has been given to Items A and C. Upon completion of the Newport Tomorrow Goals and Objectives Program, it will become the re- sponsibility of the City Council, Planning Com mission and Staff to develop and carry.forward the various programs necessary for implementa- tion. It will be necessary for the Planning Commission and Staff to give renewed emphasis to "Where should we be going ?" and "How do we get there ?" This will involve development and adoption of a new General Plan and a considera tion of relationships to the capital improveme t programs and operating programs of the City. A joint meeting of the City Council and Plan- • ning Commission should be held in the near future to share points of view on the respon- sibilities and role of the Planning Commission within the general framework of City governmen , particularly as they relate to the aforemen- tioned Goals and.Objectives. In order to.provide full sharing of up -to -date information and clarify the important inter- relationships between the planning function and other functions of City government, and help coordinate planning in Newport Beach with other communities, it would be possible to utilize Planning Commission Study Sessions for special activities such as: 1. Meeting at the County Planning Commis- sion Hearing Room for a program on the County planning function, and how New- port Beach fits into the picture as they see it. 2. Field trips and /or explanations of the planning programs in surrounding cities, particularly Costa Mesa, but also Hunting . ton Beach, Laguna Beach and other cities. 3. Explanations of the objectives and plan- ning programs of the Irvine Company. Page 8. CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH • .1111 V'. 7 Or, Q COMMISSIONERS 1 I , , 4. Explanations and discussions with other City Departments involved in physical development, including Engineering and Public Works (with particular emphasis on Traffic Engineering), Parks, Beaches and Recreation, etc. 5. Explanations and discussions of the socia characteristics of the community by those who see the City in terms of its people and their problems. This might include the City Police Department, the County Welfare and Health Department, etc. Planning Director Wilson asked members of the Commission to think about the types of study sessions that would be most valuable to them and let him know so that advance arrangements could be made. Vice Chairman Jakosky requested that the Com- mission be furnished with up -to -date District- . ing Maps. The meeting was adjourned to July 14, 1969, at 1:30 P.M. in the City Council Chambers, for a joint study session with the City Council to hear a presentation by Forest Dickason, Orange County Planning Director, on the pro- posed County -wide General Planning Program, This action was taken upon motion by Commis- sioner Adkinson, seconded by Commissioner Brown.
