Live Oak Canyon. Land Use - Community Development Director Shaw
reminded Councilmembers materials were provided identifying some of the
background for this area including the transcripts and applications as submitted
during the LAFCO annexing hearings. The General Plan Consultant, Blayney-
Dyett-Greenberg, had recommended that Live Oak Canyon be designated Very
Low Density Residential (LDR) consistent with the Southeast Area General
Plan Amendment. The General Plan Committee, and subsequently the Planning
Commission, recommended approval of the Rural Living (RL) designation
maintaining a more rural area. The City Council, with four members present ,
deadlocked 2-2 when this was last considered on July 28, 1992. Since that
meeting, staff has received a copy of the biological survey prepared for the
Friends of Live Oak Canyon which analyzes and makes recommendations
pertaining to Live Oak Canyon; that report was distributed for this meeting.
Noting that Mayor Pro Tem Larson was absent having had minor surgery the
prior day, Mayor DeMirjyn polled Councilmembers present as to whether
anyone's position had changed and if the discussion on this matter should be
continued to October 14, 1992. Councilmembers Cunningham and Milson
indicated they were still in favor of the Rural. Living designation;
Councilmembers Foster and DeMirjyn desired to be consistent with the
Southeast Area General Plan Amendment. Councilmembers then agreed to
continue this discussion on October 14, 1992.
