Committee. Should the Committee wish to create alternative guidelines, this should be done within 60 days to avoid delay of the community plan review. After a lengthy discussion, the Committee (all three members present) approved Item No. 1 and continued Item No. 2 to its next meeting for further discussion. Fiscal Impact: As indicated in Exhibit 1, for the City to prepare its own plan for the outer sphere would entail consultant costs estimated to exceed $200,000 plus two staff years of in-house labor. However, a limited review and analysis of the County's plans would require only about one-half staff year. For either alternative there would be additional, relatively minor costs for public meetings and hearings, outside legal counsel, advertising and report publication. Alternatives: See above discussion. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Department concurs with the recommendations of the Land Use Committee as stated below. LAND USE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council: 1. Direct the Planning Department to proceed immediately with the review and analysis of the existing County of Riverside plans for the outer sphere of influence as the most cost effective method of satisfying the requirement of Measure C. This process will provide for input by Sphere residents as well as public notice and public hearing as required by Measure C; 2. Acknowledge that this planning effort should be given high priority within the Planning Department and that one or more previously assigned studies may be delayed several months without a commitment of additional staff; and 3. Consider additional staffing requirements in the Planning Department as part of the City Council's mid-year budget review to accomplish the planning project priorities established by the City Council in a timely fashion.
