ON THE AGENDA

GREENLIGHT GUIDELINES

Council members will discuss a new draft policy prepared by City Atty.

Bob Burnham that would define certain aspects of the slow-growth

Greenlight law. Approved by voters in November, the law requires a

citywide vote on any development that allows an increase of more than 100

peak-hour car trips or dwelling units, or 40,000 square feet more than

the general plan allowance.

The draft policy includes definitions for “floor area” and “peak-hour

trips” and sets Dec. 15, 2000, as the law’s starting date.

Council members delayed a vote on the guidelines at the last meeting

because they wanted to clarify some minor issues, such as adding a table

that includes car-trip rates for all possible land uses.

What to expect: Council members are expected to approve the

guidelines.

EL TORO CAMPAIGN FUNDS

At their previous meeting, council members set aside $3.69 million for

a campaign to promote an airport at the closed El Toro Marine Corps Air

Station. Grant agreements with the Airport Working Group and Citizens for

Jobs and the Economy, the two organizations that asked for the money,

would give the groups $120,000 and $150,000, respectively.

What to expect: Council members are expected to approve the grant

agreements.
