He stated that the Development Agreement affected property north of Hillside Blvd., Randolph Ave. between Hillside School and Bayshore Blvd. and west of Bayshore Blvd. between Randolph and the northern City limits.

He stated that he had asked that the housing ele- ment be resubmitted to the Department for a specific opinion on whether or not it complies with Government Code require- ments. He cited a recent court case in San Diego wherein it was found that a specific development project need not include all or any portion of low and moderate income housing requirements within that project because it was responding to the basic need of the County which was housing. Director of Community Development Dell' Angela stated for the record, that when the Specific Plan was approved the issue of housing and the City's housing element was addressed at that time, and even though there are no low to moderate income housing proposals for this par- ticular area there are proposals in other of the community which do address the needs of low to moderate income people. He stated that from the City's standpoint it was the City's determination as to which areas of the City should be used to serve this need. Mayor Teglia stated that she was in receipt of a letter from Mrs. Beverly J. Totten which contained photographs and cited concerns the fear of a roadway or a portion of a new home washed down from the Mountain upon their homes.
