16.   INTERIM DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCESS TO IMPLEMENT THE GENERAL PLAN LAND USE ELEMENT        
Recommendation:  It is recommended that the City Council initiate a Zoning Code Amendment to create an Interim
Development Review Process, to be reviewed by the Planning Commission, to implement the land uses, floor area ratios,
and residential densities of the General Plan Land Use Diagram, but subject to all other existing development standards,
in exchange for a community benefit.
Recommendation of the Planning Commission:  On April 27, 2016, the Planning Commission, at the direction of the
City Council, discussed a potential Zoning Code Amendment to create an Interim Development Review Process. Such a
discretionary process would allow development projects to utilize the land uses, floor area ratios, and residential densities
of the General Plan even though they may be contrary to existing specific plan regulations. This process would be in place
until such time as the Specific Plans are updated to achieve consistency with the General Plan. The Commission supported
the creation of an interim discretionary process, including public involvement, to implement the floor area ratios, land uses,
and residential densities in the Land Use Element, with existing development standards or minor deviations from existing
development standards.
