The idea of a comprehensive review is so that you have a package of amendments that get looked at all at once. And they may be inter-dependent but they all get sent up to the Council at one time. So more of a spirit of compromise between the two, this sets a deadline so that the Councilcan be involved in the comprehensive review. The Council would get notice that thecomprehensive review has begun, would have a minimum of, the Director would set a deadline for the Council to send up proposedamendments, again, by this resolution procedure; and that would be a minimum of 120 days. And then we have, then the comprehensive review process is spelledout; and theres some slight changes on the wording for that. And then theres some changes, then we have discussion of how the interim amendments work; and, again, it changes it so that the current ordinance gave the Planning Director 120 days to make a recommendation on Council-proposed interim amendments.Thecurrentlawhasafunnyphrasewhichhasbeenthereforawhilethatthe Planning Directors recommendation, its called the Feasibility Report or Feasibility Study. I dont think thats a very good description of what the Planning Director actually does on a General Plan amendment because typically things are going to be feasible. Its just is it a good idea or not. So it changed it to be a recommendation rather than a feasibility study. And it gives the Planning Commission 60 days to make its recommendation to the County Council on an interim General Plan amendment, rather than 90 days. SIRACUSA:Could I just -? ALAMEDA:Commissioner Siracusa. YUEN:Yes? SIRACUSA:Okay. On what was No. 7 and is not 8, where it says, The Planning Commission shall conduct and complete its and public hearings is crossed out and review put in. I just want to make sure that that review includes public hearings, the public hearing process? YUEN:Well, it only includes public testimony. And this is another change that we made, because we have this confusing issue that comes from the use of the word public hearings. Because, under State law now, the Commission takes public testimony at our meetings when an item is considered, but only some things are called public hearings. So, weve had, and the way the Charter is written out, we have public hearings and then you close the public hearing. And then you have meetings where you vote on the matter but people can still come and testify. And so this still requires, so we took the phrase public hearing out completely and we say that you have to have at least two public meetings and you are going to have to have public testimony at those meetings. SIRACUSA:Okay. Thats what I wanted to make sure of, that we were not planning any smoked backrooms -. YUEN:No, we will still take public -. 4EXHIBIT B
