Planning Commission Meeting Minutes – Wednesday, October 01, 2008 Page 13 By consensus, Commissioners approved adding a statement to recommended additional language on page 3 of the staff report, Section 11. entitled, “Using the Plan,” for master plans adopted prior to 2009, as follows: “These master plans are not addressed as part of the Comprehensive Plan without further action by the City Council.” Further discussion included avoiding the Comprehensive Plan becoming a work plan, and to include implementation strategies that the City Council will use to determine a review process for master plans; and recommendations of City Attorney Squires in his comments included in the staff report. MOTION Member Bakeman moved, seconded by Member Gottfried to add additional language to Implementation Strategies, page 11-3 entitled, “Using the Plan,” as follows: ? “The City Council will establish a plan to address the issue of master plans adopted prior to 2009; and these pre-2009 master plans are not addressed as part of the Comprehensive Plan without further action of the City Council.” ?
