amendments at the same time. Did fall behind with the <br /> amendments. Cushnie: Could Charter change allow you to <br /> catch up? Moore: There are sufficient provisions in the <br /> general plan to address that now. Planning Director <br /> right now can defer consideration of general amendments . <br /> Cushnie: Questioned whether general plan should be above <br /> political process . Moore: The land use policy is partly <br /> a political process and needs to be dealt with care- <br /> fully. Both state constitution and Charter provide for a <br /> careful review. Direction changes with people in <br /> office. Cushnie: Doesn' t feel the general plan review <br /> should be spread out over ten years . Moore: Need to <br /> better handle the item administratively. Have better <br /> focus , have resources available, and don' t drag things <br /> out. <br /> Cushnie: Questioned whether Council should be reviewing <br /> general plan progress every four years . Domingo: <br /> Administration and Council personnel changes cause <br /> different philosophies to come into play. Have learned a <br /> lesson; plan to insure that certain changes are made <br /> within the ordinance (Tape 1 : 1 : 25)--remove some of the <br /> kinks that caused delay. Land use change requests <br /> require a lot of review time. Moore: General Plan <br /> allows reviews on a policy basis. Zoning allows very <br /> specific review areas . L'Orange: Previous Planning <br /> Director rewrote/reviewed plan continuously; could not <br /> delegate review. <br /> Cushnie: Questioned whether Planning took into <br /> consideration property taxes when zoning. Moore: Don' t <br /> consider property taxes but , the service or cost of <br /> revenue implications. <br /> Juvik: Questioned administration' s power over rezoning <br /> and its connection with political campaigns. Domingo: <br /> That is a concern; can only rely on the honesty and <br /> integrity of the Planning Commission members. <br /> Greenwell : General Plan is becoming more comprehensive <br /> rather than becoming more general in detail . Questioned <br /> whether Mr. Moore felt change needed to be made re "air <br /> pollution" and environment . Moore: Felt it <br /> unnecessary. Domingo: Inserting word "environment" in <br /> the instance spoken of here has not been brought up <br /> before by those addressing general plan issues . <br /> C. Motion: Mr . Greenwell made a motion to accept <br /> Section 3-16 of the General Plan as is; the motion was <br /> seconded by Mr. Omonaka. Chairman Bethea said this <br /> motion should also be subject to changing the wording <br /> 702 <br />
