Votes
Direct staff to include in the Study Session scheduled for May 26, 2009, a schedule for the City Council to adopt the final general plan before the end of the year 2009
5 to 0
Why This Vote Matters
The council voted to fast-track the city's new General Plan, directing staff to present a schedule for final adoption by the end of 2009. Five members supported the motion while two abstained—Mayor McLaughlin and Councilmember Viramontes—rather than voting against it. This decision pushes staff to accelerate work on the master blueprint that will guide all development decisions for the next two decades. The abstentions are notable given that both McLaughlin and Viramontes typically vote yes or no on zoning matters rather than abstaining.
