DESCRIPTION:
On January 21, 1997, the City Council initiated a General Plan Amendment (GPA) Study for the 200-acre
Nielsen Ranch property located outside the City limits, just east of the terminus of Brittany Drive and
Brittany Lane. The GPA Study was to address the applicant's request to process a single-family
subdivision and associated planning and environmental concerns.
On October 7, 1997, the City Council adopted a General Plan Amendment Policy that identifies the
required planning and environmental activities and GP A application submittals necessary for processing a
City Council-initiated GP A Study (see Exhibit 1). Staff sent a letter to the applicant (Mr. Bud Nielsen) on
October 10, 1997 notifying him that the new General Plan Amendment Policy applied to his GP A Study
request and that he had six months from the date of the General Plan Policy adoption to make progress on
the GP A Study (Exhibit 2). Since the October 10th date, staff sent another letter to the applicant
requesting the status of his project (Exhibit 3). To date, staff has not received any information from the
applicant regarding the status of the project.
With the expiration of the six month time frame and not having received any planning or environmental
information from the applicant within that time frame, staff recommends that the City Council rescind the
applicant's GPA Study request. The applicant was contacted regarding staffs recommendation and was
informed that he can return to the City Council and request an initiation of a GP A Study at any future
. time.
