same land uses in revised locations consistent with the
proposed Specific Plan.

FINDINGS - SPECIFIC PLAN
1. The location and design of the proposed development shall be
consistent with the Goals and Policies of the City~s General
Plan and with any other applicable plan or policies adopted by
the City, or in the process of being prepared and adopted.
The proposed Specific Plan is consistent with the Goals and~
Policies of the General Plan, since the proposed project
takes into consideration the uses permitted, surrounding
land uses and existing and proposed circulation system.
Additionally, a concurrent General Plan Amendment is being
processed to ensure consistency in land uses and policies
is maintained.
2. The proposed location shall allow the development to be well-
integrated with or adequately buffered from its surroundinq
whichever may be the case.
The proposed location is well integrated and located to its
surroundings since, the proposed project will be adjacent
to similar residential, commercial, institutional and open
space uses which have already received Specific Plan
approval.
All vehicular traffic generated by the development, either in
phased increments or at full build-out, is to be accommodated
safely without causing undue congestion upon adjoining streets.
A traffic study has been completed, which addresses all of
the anticipated circulation system improvements necessary
to adequately handle the project's expected traffic
volumes. There will be no significant congestion during
build out or at completion of the project.
PAGE FIVE - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - NOVEMBER 10, 1992
The Final Specific Plan shall identify a methodology(s) to
allow land uses to be adequately services by existing or
proposed public facilities and services. In appropriate
circumstances, and as provided elsewhere by City Code, the City
may require that suitable areas be reserved for schools, parks
and pedestrian ways; or public open spaces shall be dedicated
or reserved by private covenant for the common use of
residents, establishments or operations in the development.
The proposed,project provides a phasing schedule for the
development of adequate public facilities on an as needed
basis tied to the build out of project phases.
Additionally, the proposed project will provide sites for
the development of parks, open space areas, and schools.
5. The overall design of the Specific Plan will produce an
attractive, efficient and stable development.
The proposed Specific Plan contains design guidelines for
the long term development of the project such as a phasing
schedule ot the overall project, logical location of land
uses, and necessary circulation improvements to facilitate
production of an attractive, efficient and stable
development of the project.
In accordance with the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), impacts have been reduced to
a level of non-significance, or in the case where impacts
remain, a statement of ov2rriding considerations must be
adopted to justify the merits of project implementation.
An addendum Environmental Impact Report to the Alberhill
FEIR 89-2 has been prepared to address the minor technical
revisions associated with the proposed projeot. The
Alberhill FEIR addressed all the significant impacts and
developed mitigation measures reducing impacts to a level
of insignificance. A statement of overriding
considerations was adopted for impacts not reduced to a
level of insignificance.

MOVED BY WINKLER, SECONDED BY DOMINGUEZ TO ADOPT ORDINANCE NO. 943,
BASED ON THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS.
Councilman Alongi requested clarification of the motion with
regard to police and fire.
Councilman Winkler indicated that he would not be willing to
specifically designate funds in this process.
Mayor Washburn advised that he felt the staff did a good job
in working with the applicant and suggested that the economics
of dealing with the general fund should be a separate
consideration and he would prefer to not set a precedence of
earmarking funds. He explained that he understands the
concern, but would look to reviewing this matter in the budget
process.
Councilwoman Cherveny explained that she is trying to curb the
poor planning of public safety in the past. She further
explained that her motion did not preclude the use of the $140
for public safety as well.
Mayor Washburn commented further on the allocation of funds.
PAGE TEN - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - NOVEMBER 10, 1992
Couricilman Winkler stressed that DAG fees are additional
monies from the developer over and above the construction of
the homes. He further stressed that he is uncomfortable with
guessing how much to set aside for specific purposes, even
though he is not opposed to public safety.
Councilwoman Cherveny further explained that she has
difficulty with Section 4.1.6 designating funds for a
Municipal Swimming Pool, when there is no action to designated
funds for public safety. She suggested that this would be a
positive step to show efforts to increase the public safety.
Councilman Alongi concurred with Councilwoman Cherveny and
requested that the motion be changed, because he does not feel
that funds should be designated for recreational facilities,
without designating funds for public safety.

CITY MAy ALSO UTILIZE THESE FUNDS FOR ANY OTHER LAWFUL PURPOSES".

Friday, November 13th or Monday, November 16th.

removal after the buildinq has been burned. He expressed
concern with overcharging the property owners for abatement,
and particularly asbestos removal. He suggested finding a way
through Air Quality Management to prevent this expense where
possible. Mr. Shear clarified the requirement for asbestos
inspection in buildings abated"after 1978. He further
clarified that on this project a significant amount of sidirrg
is still in place and this is the area where it is felt
asbestos still might exist.

have Air Quality representatives come out and review the
situation. He also suggested that this may be a topic for
workshop discussion at a later date. Mr. Shear advised that
Air Quality has been contacted and they are willing to come
out.

show where the materials are disposed of and what the cost is
to the contractor. Mr. Shear advised that the shipping
information is generally received, however, he has not seen
associated costs.
Mayor Washburn inquired Mr. Alongi's concern was merely
getting the best deal for this property owner. Mr. Alongi
advised that he was concerned with getting the right deal. He
further advised that he wants to be sure the contractor is
doing the job requested.
City Attorney Harper clarified the need to accept the lowest
responsible bid. He further clarified that while the City
can request additional background material on bids, it is
difficult to determine overcharging.
