sentatives of "severel " developers in the north county area, referencing
ARCHITECT JOE
ZEN the State "Growth Management" legislation that takes effect October I, 1985,
and provides for two times a year a Comprehensive Land Use Plan /Map can
be amended.
Noting that the Council is proposing the months of May and November
for updating the City's Plan /Map, Attorney Larry Smith suggested the Council
consider amending ours between the proposed October 3, 1985, update and the
end of 1985, incorporating all changes in zoning and the City's boundaries
made during that time period per applications in- house. The members of the
Council expressed receptiveness to Attorney Smith's suggestion, if the requested
future recommendation of the City Manager is affirmative.
Architect Joe Legan requested the Council to consider the establishment of a
policy, providing for developers, once their zoning requests are approved, to
be able to proceed with construction documents without risking the City not
changing its Comprehensive Land Use Plan /Map accordingly.
The City Attorney explained that the total effect of the new mandate is still
being explored.
The Council's consideration of adoption of Resolution 39, 1985, setting two
times a year for amending the City's Comprehensive Land Use Plan /Map, has been
tentatively scheduled for the Regular Meeting of October 3, 1985.

Resolution 38, 1985, adopting a "Developers Agreement" between the PGA National
and the City that provides for the developer, at a minimum cost of $862,300.,
to make recreational improvements to the 36 -acre park in the southeast corner
of the "PGA National" PCD, in lieu of creating the 13.816 -acre recreation park
in the southwest corner, as required in paragraph 14 of Resolution 43, 1978
(i.e., apply at least the appraised value of the 13.816 -acre recreation park
toward recreational improvements to the 36 -acre park).
Per the Council's request at the Workshop Meeting of September 12, 1985, Mr.
Skokowski illustrated the developer's intent with respect to the type and stan-
dard of park improvements to be installed on the 36 -acre public park site.

"swapped ", a communication addressing the status of the PGA National Master Plan

made a part of the subject applications.

In response to Vice Mayor Kiselewski with reference to the clause in the Devel-
opment Order providing for the conveyance to the City of lands for use for
police and fire protection and emergency rescue service, the City Manager

Fire Chief is in agreement with the current proposal. In discussing this with
the police department, it is not advantageous to have a satellite police sta-
tion. In the event the City would, in the future, choose to add to the proposed
facility, the site would be more than sufficient.
