Pamela Tuft,Director of General.Plan•Administration;began with an explanation to Coitimissionersl.6f.the
process of reviewing the Draft General Plan (GP) and Draft,Environmental Impact Report (DEIR)..and
answered questions.
Council Member; Nau asked about the sub-areas and rules relating, to the review, of their own
neighborhoods and if they shouldn't choose their own neighbbrhoodjsgb-areas.
Parhela said it would be better to look at ,other sub-areas to allow for a depth of analyses for the
'Commissioners to assume a leadership role in the discussions(rather than discuss their'own neighborhood)..
The Commission and':staff discussed:the*possibilities of a conflict of interest issue. Pamela offered a map

Commissioner Sullivan'asked about the Housing Element and the time'period it covers does not follow the
General Plan. She asked whythisrwas and if there was a plan to make them coincide. She asked about the
five years for the housing numbers and if that would continue:
Pamela explained that. he Housing Element has to be certified-through 2009 by a state agency.(HCD). She
said this certification is linked to funding and therefore-very important. She said the City's Housing
Administrator did not want to take this on at this time so the GP will include qualifying statements about
the Housing Element and numbers needed.
Planning Director Mike Moore further explained that this,-will start next year but the regional housing
numbers from ABAG would be needed. He said as far as the five years;State law determines the length
and cycle of the Housing certification cycle and no legislation haS been successful:in changing this.
