MOVED BY BUCKLEY, SECONDED BY HICKMAN TO TABLE THE
ITEM.
Mayor Pro Tern Schiffner stated that the project itself was not before
Council. He noted that the Item was solely to prepare CEQA documents
which were paid for by the land owner. Mayor Pro Tern Schiffner made the
following substitute motion.
MOVED BY SCHIFFNER, SECONDED BY MAGEE TO APPROVE THE
AGREEMENT WITH HDR ENGINEERING TO PREPARE CEQA
COMPLAINCE DOCUMENTS.
City Attorney Leibold requested clarification if Councilmember
Buckley's motion was a continuance for 2 weeks.
Councilmember Buckley confirmed.
Councilmember Hickman stated that he would have liked the applicant for
the Item available so they could hear Council's discussion first hand. He
noted that his concern had to do with the project the applicant wanted to go
forward with once CEQA compliance documents were prepared.
Mayor Magee noted that there was a lot of discussion entertained by every
member of Council during the Study Session. He indicated that during that
discussion, he did not hear any Councilmember say that they would be in
support of the project to be studied.
Mayor Magee noted that the City Clerk had been directed to take meticulous
notes for the meeting minutes so they could be reviewed by the applicant so
they knew clearly before they began spending money on an environmental
document which would ultimately go to evaluate a project that currently did
not have a single vote of support by Council. He noted one of the issues that
Council had was that the applicant seriously reconsider their proposed
density.
