SUBJECT: COUNTY MONITORING - THE VALENCIA MARKETPLACE PROJECT
(PROJECT NO. 92-075) STATUS REPORT
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
BACKGROUND
City staff reviewed and commented on the project and Draft Environmental Impact Report
(EIR) in response to the October 15, 1993, Notice of Completion. The Regional Planning
Commission (RPC) held their first public hearing to consider the project on December 15,
1993, at which time Councilmember Heidt gave testimony regarding the City's position. The
RPC continued the public hearing for a field trip to the project site (on January 31, 1994) to
February 2, 1994, for further discussion. On March 30, 1994, the RPC:
• Approved entitlements for the tract map, conditional use permit, and oak tree permit.
• Recommended approval of a general plan amendment and zone change to the Board of
Supervisors.
• Recommend certification of the EIR and approval of the project.
On April 6, 1994, the City filed an appeal of the RPC action to the Board of Supervisors. On
May 5, 1994, the Board of Supervisors held a public hearing to consider the RPC
recommendation and the concerns of all appellants.
The public hearing was continued to July 7, 1994, at which time Councilmember Heidt and
Deputy City Manager Harris gave testimony supporting denial of the project as proposed.
The Board took action to certify the EIR, and directed staff to prepare final project conditions
and return in September 1994 for final approval.

City Council at that time. The City Attorney has advised that any applicable time deadlines
for further response on the project do not begin until the County Board of Supervisors takes
final action on conditions of approval.
