The Planning Commission of the City of Tustin does hereby resolve as follows:
I. The Planning Commission finds and determines:
A. That on January 15 and February 20,2007, the City Council after consideration
of matters related to consolidation and realignment of commission/committee
responsibilities and ways to minimize impacts on City resources related to City
Boards, Commissions, and Committees, the Council initiated and referred draft
Ordinance No. 1332 to the Planning Commission for consideration;
B. That State law does not mandate that cities have a Cultural Resources District
or a Historic Resource Committee and that the City Council does have the
discretion to assign the duties of the Committee to the Planning Commission;
C. That the Council has more flexibility in filling the vacant positions (of the
Planning Commission in their role as the Historic Resource Committee)
because the State's recommended professional qualifications no longer apply;
D. That the Planning Commission acting in this capacity could develop a list of
desired duties and responsibilities regarding cultural and historic resources for
the City Council's review and consideration on an annual basis;
E. That there is less of an impact on the City's general fund in that the Committee
would not be mandated to meet a minimum of four times per year or attend an
approved training workshop each year;
F. That on March 13,2007, a public hearing was duly noticed, called, and held on
Code Amendment 07-001 by the Planning Commission, and the Planning
