Vice Chairman Fletcher asked what would happen if a city did not complete their update on time. Larry Henderson, Principal Planner, reported that there can be state funding and/or revenue sources that can be affected,and in regard to the housing element,a city could be open to litigation and also Planning Commission Minutes -2- May 9, 2007 could affect the ability of that city to issue building permits. He added that it could mean that there would not be a good source document for the Planning Commission and City Council to base their decisions upon. He noted that the more up to date the General Plan and General Plan EIR is, the more consistent and legally defensible their decisions become. Kevin Ennis, Assistant City Attorney noted that certain decisions made by the Redevelopment Agency also require this update to be done. * * * * * PUBLIC COMMENTS Terri Smith, 10343 Ridgeview Court, stated she represents the neighbors who had previously expressed concerns regarding the Hillside Community Church development.
