FROM: Supervisor Tom Torlakson
Costa
DATE: April 16, 1985 County
SUBJECT: EAST COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Request the Planning Department to
conduct a review of the costs and workload of all our planning
commissions and costs of the establishment or elimination of any
current planning commissions or modification of our current
organization of commissions. Further, direct this issue to the
internal operations committee for review in late April or May.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: For the past couple of years there
has been discussions in east Contra Costa County regarding the need
for an area planning commission. The volume of planning issues for
this region is probably greater than that of both Orinda and San Ramon
region. EDPAC has served as the community' s local forum since 1981
but they and many other community leaders feel that now is the time to
seriously consider an area planning commission for east county. In
discussion with Tony Dehaesus over the last year on this matter, it
was thought that consideration of the need for an east county planning
commission should be done in conjunction with a review of our current
area planning commissions and the workloads and costs of said
commissions as well as costs and workload of our main county planning
commission. It was further felt that such a review should not take
place before the Orinda Incorporation vote. Now that this vote has
occurred and Orinda will be establishing its own planning commission
and handling its own planning matters through its own city council, it
is even more appropriate to initiate such a review of all of our
planning commissions.
