RE: Response to your letter of 6/24/03 regarding
Review of Analysis of Measure "A"
Dear Mr. De Lay,
As you are aware the County is currently preparing
both an environmental impact report on the Pebble Beach
Company's Del Monte Forest Preservation and Development
Plan (DMF/PDP) as well as an environmental analysis of
Measure "A". The purpose of the analysis is to provide
information to the Coastal Commission for their
consideration of Measure "A" once it is forwarded to them
by the County. The project EIR will help the LUAC,
Planning Commission, and other County decision makers
understand the impacts of the application before
considering it a public hearing. Unlike the development
project the ballot measure will not be approved or denied
by County decision makers since it has already been
approved by the voters on November 7, 2000.
While the County plans to have the Draft EIR available
prior to the LUAC's review of the project the analysis of
Measure "A" will not be ready by then. The analysis of
Measure "A" is planned to be available prior to the
hearing on the project before the Planning Commission.
When the analysis is submitted to the Planning Commission
it will also be submitted to the LUAC and any other
interested parties. Following review of the Pebble Beach
Company's DMF/PDP by the Planning Commission and the
Board of Supervisors will be accompanied by the project's
EIR in order to provide the complete environmental
background requested by the Coastal Commission.
Please contact Senior Planner, Thom McCue at 883-7528,
if you or your committee would like to discuss this issue
further.
Sincerely,
/ss/
Scott Hennessy
