Director Aguilera reviewed the elements that must be included in revised housing element. The document was reviewed by both the State and City Departments of Community Development and the final document was found to meet the requirements of State law and objectives of the City's General Plan. Mr. Aguilera stated the revised housing element does contain language and goals that may not be popular; however, lack of adoption would mean that all construction would come to a stop. The City is in the grace period for adoption. Director Aguilera recommended approval of the adoption of the revised housing element, by Resolution. Discussion followed with regard to what the Planning Commission disagreed with. Director Aguilera stated for the most part, the Commission did not agree with the numbers required for the low and moderate housing and with the smaller size lots. The Commission felt the City has its fair share of these. Planning Commissioner Hernandez, speaking from the audience stated in his opinion, the Commission did not feel they had sufficient time to review and provide input. Council Member Roman felt the Council was under the gun due to the fact that this is the first time the Council has had an opportunity to consider this matter. Council Member Roman felt the housing element should be referred back to the Planning commission. Moved by Council Member Rehrer, seconded by Council Member Roman to refer this matter back to the Planning Commission for further review. Unanimous vote. Mr. George Fulp, 1497 Cindee Lane, stated he had been in contact with the State Department and was informed that the State Department of Housing and Community Development does not have direct enforcement power. Moved by Council Member Lofy, seconded by Council Member Cisneros, to close the Public Hearing. Unanimous vote. ORDINANCE NO. 0-2-91 Seismic Retrofitting/Unreinforced Masonry Bldgs. Community Development Director Aguilera reported another informational meeting was held with several of the property owners. Mr. Aguilera said the matter of the Taco Tia Warehouse was resolved because in fact, the building is a reinforced masonry building and therefore, does not have to be included on the list. 4 9 19gf
