PLANNING COMMISSION REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Agreements/Contracts General Plan Update Planning Associate David Zamora reported on the selection of a con- sulting firm to update the City's General Plan and Housing Element, advising that on April 23, 1985, an ad hoc committee and the Plann- ing Director reviewed proposals from eight consulting firms, and on April 30, 1985, interviewed the top four submittals. Mr. Zamora continued that on May 14, 1985, the Planning Commission approved the recommendation of the ad hoc committee and Staff, agree- ing that the firm of Community Systems Associates, Inc. (CSA) would be the consulting firm to best address the needs of the City, and that this recommendation be forwarded to the City Council. Mr. Zamora concluded if the Council agrees with the Planning Commis- sion recommendation, it would be in order to approve the firm of Com- munity Systems Associates, Inc., to update the City's General Plan and Housing Element. Mr. Jack Cook, Chairman of the Planning Commission, stated he was present during the interviews with these firms, and if the Council Members had any questions, he would be happy to try and answer them. Councilman Rios asked when was the last time the General Plan was up- dated. Mr. Zamora replied in 1981. Councilwoman Garcia stated her concern is that this time the General Plan be adhered to. Councilwoman Garcia stated in 1981 the Council adopted the current General Plan and then proceeded to play hopscotch zoning with it, instead of simply eliminating the inconsistencies that existed betweeen the General Plan and the Zoning Ordinance. Councilwoman Garcia asked if this update would be all inclusive, residential, commericial, industrial, etc. Mrs. Garcia further asked if the Staff was recommending the $63,442 or is the recommendation for the inclusion of the options for a total of $76,702? City Manager Elliott responded the update would be all inclusive and staff is recommending the project at $63,000.
