As part of the project, the Planning Commission was asked to consider the Zoning Map and General Plan Land Use map amendments of two separate parcels, immediately adjacent to the project site, to correspond to the existing land uses within each parcel. The Planning Commission was also asked to make a separate recommendation on certification of an Environmental Impact Report that was prepared by the City.
