WHEREAS, during the Goals and Objectives session for Fiscal Year 2002/2003, the City Council
requested Staff, as a high priority item, to initiate a Specific Plan for the Scarlett Court Area; and
WHEREAS, on June 20, 2006, the City Council directed Staff to divide the Specific Plan
preparation into two phases with the first phase of the Scarlett Court Specific Plan to include landscape,

implemented through a guiding policy and implementing policy in the General Plan applicable to the
Scarlett Court Planning Area; and
WHEREAS, consistent with section 65352.3 of the California Government Code, the City

General Plan amendment. None of the contacted tribes requested a consultation within the 90-day
statutory consultation period and no further action is required under section 65352.3; and

the General Plan may have a significant effect on the environment; and
