This question arises in context of the <br /> owner's application for upzoning, and the Charter Section 3-15 (b) requirement that no <br /> zoning ordinance "shall be initiated or adopted unless the same conforms to and <br /> implements the general plan." <br /> We have reviewed various historical documents regarding the discussion of <br /> whether this property was interpreted as being within the high density area by former <br /> Planning director Albert Lyman. It appears, that Mr. Lyman did in 1987 give the <br /> Planning Commflssflon his-opflfllflon that thfls property fls "already included" or "already <br /> reflected" in the high density designation. Hearing Transcript, August l7, 1987, pp. 14- <br /> 15. By letter of November 4, 1988 the owners-nevertheless asked the Council to <br /> specifically include the property in the high density area. By letter of January 25, 1989, <br /> Takashi Domingo asked the Council to include this request in the LUPAG map changes <br /> Comm.
