DATE: September 12, 2011
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: Jill R. Ingram, City Manager
FROM: Mark H. Persico, AICP, Director of Development Services
SUBJECT: UPDATED DEPARTMENT OF WATER AND POWER
(DWP) SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT SCHEDULE
AND THE MAYOR APPOINT A COUNCIL DWP ADHOC
SUB - COMMITTEE
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Staff requests that the City Council receive and file the updated project review
schedule for the Department of Water and Power (DWP) Specific Plan
Amendment and that the Mayor appoint two Council members to a Council DWP
AdHoc Sub - committee.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
The DWP Specific Plan was adopted in 1996 under Resolution 4444. The Plan
allowed for visitor serving commercial uses (e.g. hotel) and open space. An
amendment to the Specific Plan was filed by Bay City Partners (BCP) to change
the land use from visitor serving commercial to residential. A Tract Map and
related applications were filed for a 48 -lot subdivision earlier this year, and an
Environmental Impact Report is currently being prepared for the project.
At the April 25, 2011 Council meeting, staff provided a project schedule outlining
the overall process. This report expands on the project schedule and contains
dates for each of the bodies reviewing and commenting on the project. Staff is
reasonably confident that these dates will hold, but with a project of this
complexity, changes in the schedule may inevitably occur. Attached is an
updated project review schedule, including committees, topics of discussion and
meeting dates for each review body. (any changes to the updated project
schedule will be posted on the City's website and outside City Hall bulletin board)
In the past, mayors have appointed two council members to an ad hoc committee
to address large -scale development during the processing period. Given the
nature of the proposed project, staff believes it would be beneficial if the Mayor
appoint a Council ad hoc sub - committee for this project. The sub - committee
Agenda Item J
would act as a liaison with staff for a limited duration and report back to the full
Council.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
No impact arising from the appointment of an ad hoc sub - committee. A complete
Environmental Impact Report is currently being prepared for the proposed
project.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
The City Attorney has reviewed and concurred with this report.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact created by this schedule or appointment of a Council ad
hoc sub - committee.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council receive and file the updated project schedule, and that the
Mayor appoint a Council DWP AdHoc Sub - committee.
