In addition, the California Coastal Commission will conduct a public hearing regarding the review of the Coastal Land Use Plan. These opportunities for public input will be advertised and noticed as required by state law. General Plan Advisory Committee and Workshops CAA proposes the formation of a General Plan Advisory Committee, or GPAC, to serve as the core group to work with the consultant team in review and development of the draft General Plan and Coastal Land Use Plan documents. The role of the GPAC will be to review and comment on proposed updated drafts of individual elements. We recommend the GPAC be comprised of approximately 10 people and include representatives of the Planning Commission and other standing commissions and committees, and representatives of the community at large. The GPAC could also include a City Council representative. CAA proposes to conduct four GPAC workshops as follows: Workshop 1 Introduction Land Use Element Workshop 2 Circulation Element Growth Management Element Workshop 3 Noise Element Safety Element Conservation/Recreation /Open Space Element Workshop 4 ' Coastal Land Use Plan Wrap Up For each workshop, CAA will provide copies of the existing element and preliminary draft element with any applicable supporting documentation in advance of each meeting. CAA will facilitate a discussion of each element and help identify issue areas and any proposed changes. Representatives from Mestre Greve Associates will participate in the Noise Element workshop, and a representative from Kunzman Associates will participate in the Circulation Element workshop. Of course, applicable City staff will participate in each workshop as well. Each workshop is assumed to be approximately three hours long. Requested changes and issues identified through the workshop process will be incorporated into the preliminary draft General Plan and the Coastal Land Use Plan. One reproducible copy will be provided to staff for their review. Based on staff review and comment, a proposed draft document (one reproducible copy) will be provided for Planning Commission and City Council review, as well Seal Beach Culbertson, Adams & Associates, Inc General Plan Update Program 10 June 12, 2002 • July 22, 2002 City Council Agenda Report — CJPIA Appointments Page 2 NOTED AND APPROVED: al 6 John B.
