       (HD)
       Recommendation of City Manager:   It is recommended that, following a
       public hearing, the City Council: 
       (1) Find the proposed project to be exempt from environmental review
       pursuant to the guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act, CEQA
       Guidelines, Section 15060(C)(2), as the activity will not result in a direct or
       reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment;
       (2) Approve a moratorium for an initial period of 45 days on new
       construction on all parcels affected by the Hillside Development Overlay
       District (HD) zoning designation;
       (3) Find that the proposed moratorium is consistent with the goals and
       policies of the General Plan;
       (4) Find that (a) continued approval of construction in the Hillside
       Development Overlay District under the existing requirements would have
       adverse impacts upon the public health, safety, or welfare pursuant to the
       standards and policies set forth in the General Plan and (b) an interim
       ordinance establishing the proposed moratorium is necessary to avoid these
       adverse impacts and provide time for an analysis of the existing standards
       and consideration of revisions to the Hillside Development Overlay District;
       and
       (5) Direct the City Attorney to prepare an interim ordinance implementing
       this recommendation.
       Recommendation of Planning Commission:   The Planning Commission
       reviewed the proposed moratorium on March 10, 2004. Following extensive
       testimony, the Commission recommended unanimous approval of staff's
       recommendation with an added exception for projects that have already
       submitted an application to the Planning Department and had that application
       deemed complete. The Commission felt that to uphold fairness within the
       application process, projects submitted for discretionary action such as a
       Conditional Use Permit, Minor Conditional Use Permit, or Variance and
       deemed complete would be exempt from the ordinance. The Commission
       recommended that all applications deemed complete as of March 10, 2004
       be exempt from the impacts of the moratorium.
