Mayor Ison summarized with stating that we are sort of positive regarding
growth and business and commercial. Mr. ~mith stated that we should follow
the plan we have. Ch. Breeze said that if we are in favor of growth we need to
make it clear that developers pay their own way with impact fees and we should
consider impact as much as three streets away. City Planner Elwell advised
that some of these things are handled in the planning elements and may not
need to be addressed in CLP. Comm. Rodgers advised that there are some suits
in courts now because of lack of specifics in plan.
