To Planning Commission <br /> From: Kitty Walker <br /> Sub : Mountain House New Town <br /> Date: 10-4-90 <br /> Page: - 2 - <br /> recommends the New Town' s inclusion in the General Plan Update or <br /> if there are significant delays to the Plan' s adoption. Regardless <br /> of the outcome, the applicant has decided to pursue the parallel <br /> processing of the General Plan Amendment with the required EIR. <br /> It is possible that some of this processing may be duplicative or <br /> unnecessary if the project is included in the update, but if it is <br /> not included in the update, valuable review time will be lost. <br /> Further, all the environmental analysis will be necessary at some <br /> point in the project' s evolution. <br /> Each Commissioner has been provided with a packet of information <br /> on the specific applications and project descriptions for the new <br /> Mountain House Community.
