COASTAL SPECIFIC PLAN The Planning Director distributed

preliminary review of the Local Coastal Program. It was suggested that Council
review the material prior to the next work session.
Council discussed ways to approach review of the Plan. Councilman Dyda sug-
gested review of all policies so there would be a common understanding. Council-
woman Shaw would like an explanation of the methodology for the fiscal analysis.
Councilman Ruth felt they should at least review all policies. Councilman Buerk
agreed and thought that each section should point out areas to
discuss. Mayor Ryan suggested reviewing policies on an exception basis with
proposed changes if they do not agree.
The City Attorney listed his concerns with the Plan as follows:
1. Densities
2. Access, trails, etc. relative to affects on dedication

4. Coastal bluff setback alternatives.
He would like to review geology report. There may need to be some flexibility
in density credit given.

Executive Session to discuss legal
matters .
