FINANCIAL IMPACT None. BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION Several letters have been received by the Board of Supervisors recommending changes in the makeup of the Countywide General Plan Review Subcommittee for Southeastern Contra Costa County. Copies of those letters are attached. The status of the Southeast County Subcommittee is that it has already had two meetings, is totally operational , and has setup a schedule for completion of its work. The existing Committee representation was established by recommendation of our Department along with the I-0 Committee in December of 1985. The intent of the committee makeup was to provide a balance of viewpoints. The Committee was set up to include both local property owners and agencies and individuals with proposals that could affect this portion of the County. As was apparent from the briefing our Department made to the Board on issues in Southeast. County, external forces may have a major impact on the area. The Pmmittee was set up to insure that those potentially competing interests wer represented. The names of those individuals and the agencies the represen are found on I CONTINUED ON ATTACHMENT: _ YES SIGNATURE' RECOMMENDATION OF COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR REC MEN TI N OF BOARD COMMITTEE APPROVE OTHER SIGNATURE(S)' ACTION OF BOARD ON May 6 , 1986 APPROVED AS RECOMMENDED X OTHER X REAFFIRMED the existing structure and appointments to the Countywide General Plan Review Subcommittee for Southeastern County , and DIRECTED the Director of Community Development to work with Supervisor Torlakson ' s office in recruitment of a representative from the Byron area .

Director ATTESTED County Administrator T PHIL BATC ELOR, CLERK OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR BY M382/7-83 .DEPUTY Board of Supervisors -2-. March 21, 1986 Attachment A. The list should be approved by the Board. Only one agency originally included on the Committee has declined to serve, that is People For Open Space. The Committee is proceeding without a replacement for that organization and should. The EDPAC letter further urged that the area of study should be expanded to include all of the town of Byron. Such an addition could lead to a discussion of very localized land use issues of an urban nature. The southeastern county study area includes only a small portion of southern Byron (only a few acres) in a 74 square mile study area and did that only for ease of describing the amendment area. It might make more sense .to delete that portion of Byron. Since the focus of the general plan effort was to find ways of resolving conflicting potential uses within planned open space areas, I recommend that the planning boundary remain as it is, but that if land development issues surrounding the Town of Byron come up that they would be better reviewed as a part of the Countywide General Plan Review Committee program. In response to previous Board instruction, our Department initiated a Southeast Contra Costa County General Plan Amendment. One public hearing was held on this. amendment by the County Planning Commission. After that general plan proposal was scheduled for public hearing, the Board created this Southeast County Advisory Committee. The Committee's first official and unanimous act was to request that the proposed Southeast Contra Costa General Plan proposal be removed from active consideration by the County Planning Commission until such time as the Committee completes its review of the area. The Board should accept that recommendation and concur with our Department by closing the file on that proposed amendment. If needed, an amendment proposal could be reactivated later.
