FISCAL IMPACT These studies will be carried by the Department as part of their normal responsibilities to maintain the County General Plan. BACKGROUNDJJUSTIFICATION Area 1. When the County adopted the redevelopment plan for Rodeo, one of the main areas of controversy focused on the California Street extension, a discontiguous roadway located on the northern portion of the community of Rodeo. Since this connection was on the County General Plan no change could be made to the redevelopment plan and it was indicated it needed to b tr ted as CONTINUED ON ATTACHMENT: YES SIGNATU RECOMMENDATION OF COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR RECO14MENDA ION OF DOAAD COMMITTEE APPROVE OTHER SIGNATURE(S) : ACTION OF BOARD ON APPROVED AS RECOMMENDED �L OTHER VOTE OF SUPERVISORS f- I HEREBY CERTIFY THAT THIS IS A UNANIMOUS (ABSENT TRUE AND CORRECT COPY OF AN AYES: NOES: ACTION TAKEN AND ENTERED ON THE ABSENT: ABSTAIN: MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ON THE DATE SHOWN.

In late 1990 the issue came up again in terms of a potential land transfer of property between the John Swett Unified School District and the Unocal Corporation. The Community Development Department was directed to attempt to expedite this transfer and if that was accomplished to consider a general plan authorization to delete California Street. On August 17 , 1992, the Board of Trustees of the John Swett Unified School District accepted the land transfer which would allow Hillcrest school to be expanded across the alignment of California Street. Given this background it is desirable to follow through with a General Plan review of the area directly affected by the California Street extension. At a minimum this review will include the Land Use and Circulation Elements. Area 2 . This area along Parker Avenue has long been an area of controversy within the community and a location with the potential to create a meaningful entry into the Rodeo community. This site has had a history of general plan designations but very limited applications for development. Prior to adoption of the new Countywide General Plan the site was designated Specialized Office, a unique plan category created for the site. During the adoption of the Countywide plan a request was received to modify the plan to a commercial designation. The Rodeo Citizens Association sent a letter endorsing the issue of a separate study. During those hectic final days of plan adoption this was misinterpreted as an endorsement of the change rather than endorsement of a separate study. The Community was relying on the assumption, widely discussed in Countywide plan documents, that locally adopted general plans were to be integrated into the new Countywide plan. As a result, this change was made without the knowledge of or background review desired by the Community. Given this circumstance it would be desirable to review the general plan alternatives associated with the critical area. 7WC:bh ljwc/bh for ml/rodeo.ord r R N pLA IOTA ,e0 GENE pR�p's . 1 RGA op.
