to General Plan - Country Club
Park annexation area; 3) prezoning
of Country Club annexation area.
CONSENT CALENDAR
M/S Teglia/Borba - To remove Item No. 5
from the Consent Calendar and approve
all other items. Carried by unanimous
voice vote.
Mrs. Elaine Stevenson requested that
the hearing not be scheduled for 5/7/80
but for three weeks after the Country
Club Park residents have been supplied
information on the requirements for
lights, sidewalks, sewers and streets.
She stated that Mr. Dell'Angela had
informed the residents that information
was not available at this time.
Director of Community Development
Dell'Angela stated that Mrs. Stevenson's
statement was true and that Staff would
have to make a study of each requirement
and make a report to Council, however
he did not see a connection and felt
it should not delay the prezoning for
this work to be done.
Mrs. Stevenson differed with Mr. Dell'-
Angela and thought it to be an integral
part of the prezoning and can affect all
of the residents, therefore it should
be looked at as an entire picture.
Director of Community Development
Dell'Angela said that prezoning is an
issue relating to land use and the
general plan, etc., the second issue
of improvements must be dealt with
by the Council. To delay a prezoni~g
action based on improvements being
defined he did not feel made any sense.
Mayor Mirri questioned the procedure
followed in prezoning and annexation
cases and how long it would take to
get the required information for the
residents.
Director of Community Development
Dell'Angela stated that prezoning would
precede, and prior to the actual procedure
to.annex, the question of improvements
must be resolved with many meetings.
