3. P.D. 145 - ANDREAS COVE PROJECT
Consideration of reopening hearing on preliminary approval of
P.D. 145, on December 19, 1984.
Director of Community Development reported there has been a lot
of correspondence requesting opportunity to speak on this project;
that the hearing was closed on December 5, and action continued
to December 19; and questioned if the Council wished to reopen
the hearing and let it be known in advance of that date; that
the Council considered both the preliminary P.D.D and the certifi -
cation of the Final EIR, although a hearing was not required on
the EIR; and that the Council may wish to certify the EIR, or
direct that additional information, which it feels is lacking,
be entered into that document in order for the Council to believe
it has all the information it needs to make a decision. (116

and persons allowed to address either the EIR, or the preliminary
plan.
City Attorney stated that action may be taken on the EIR without
