Bo That a comprehensive planning study covering the subject property was commissioned and completed.

The Specific Plan is detailed in Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. De A public hearing was duly noticed, called, and held on the application by the Planning Commission on January 14, 1991.
