This addition to the Final Environmental Report for the project consists of two extended memoranda responding to comments received at the April 21 , 1987 County Planning Commission hearing on the Response Document of the Final Environmental Impact Report. IV. BACKGROUND On March 24 , 1987 the County Planning Commission decided to re-open the public hearing on the project' s Environmental Impact Report but to limit testimony to the Final EIR' s Response Document. At the April 21 , 1987 .hearing challenges to the legal adequacy were made, which in the opinions of County staff and the applicant' s legal counsel required written responses. Because the responses (EIR Addendum) were needed in only a few weeks to meet a June hearing deadline, it was mutually agreed with the applicant to have the EIR consultant ( and staff) prepare the materials and settle accounts on their completion. The Addendum was - published and distributed on June 12 , and cted on by the Commission on June 16, 1987 .
