PUBLIC HEARINGS
Recommendation:
Move to open public hearing and take testimony. Close the public hearing. Then:

2. Find that the facts presented in the staff report, including the attached Planning Commission staff reports for October 17, 2007 and January 16, 2008, do not support the required Findings for approval and adopt the negative comments in the staff report relating to the required Findings for approval.
3. Adopt Town Council Resolution No. 2008-15 to:
a. Deny General Plan Amendment No. 2004-002, a proposal to change the existing land use designation of Residential Low Density (R-LD) to Specific Plan (S-P).
b. Deny Zone Change No. 2004-002, a proposal to change the existing zoning designation of Residential Agriculture (R-A) to Specific Plan (S-P).
c. Deny Specific Plan No. 2004-002, a proposal to develop single-family residential lots on the subject site.
d. Deny Tentative Tract Map No. 16922, a request to subdivide the eighty (80)-acre site into eighty-seven (87) single-family residential lots for future development on the subject site.
