Item No. 2 PC: 1-7-93 GP-92-15 Page 1 RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Planning Commission: 1. Approve the Negative Declaration; and 2. Forward General Plan Text Amendment Application No.GP-92-15 to the Board of Supervisors with a recommendation for approval based upon the 'Basis for General Plan Amendment' contained in the staff report. BASIS FOR GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 1. The internal consistency of the General Plan is maintained in the adoption of the Amendment • This determination can be made because the policies as proposed for revision do not conflict with other policies of the General Plan. PROJECT DESCRIPTION This General Plan Text Amendment consists of revisions to two policies in the Community Development Section of Volume I of the General Plan 2010.

The second policy revision clarifies that the Financing Plans, which are required as part of the subsequent plan process for the new communities, are not subject to a requirement for an Environmental Impact Report. STAFF ANALYSIS Through the use of the General Plan 2010 during the past five months, it was found that the following two changes were necessary: 1. Page IV-11, Growth Accommodation Implementation.
