He also stated that this was the day and hour set to consider appeals to the
Planning Commission's approval on January 16, 1979 of Tentative Tracts No. 10067,
10068 and 10069 and Conditional Use Permit No. 77-23. These three tracts and the
conditional use permit are for the development of a 531 unit planned residential
development on a 114 acre site located west of Goldenwest Street, north of Palm
Avenue and southwest of the Seacliff Golf Course.
The applicant's appeal to the three tracts is based on special conditions of approval
pertaining to the required dedication and improvement of 38th Street, drainage de-
sign, required sewering system, and the requirement for the dedication of a park
site on the north side of Palm Avenue. The specific conditions of approval that
were appealed are Number 3,6,8,11,18 and 19.
The Amigos de Bolsa Chica appeal of Tentative Tracts No. 10068 and 10069 and con-
ditional Use Permit No. 77-23 is based on urban runoff into the Bolsa Chica, the
approved alignment of 38th Street being too close to the edge of the bluff, Product
Area "C" being too close to the Bolsa Chica lowlands, and the approval of this over-
all project should be delayed until after the completion of the Local Coastal Program.
The Mayor announced that the appeals would be heard in conjunction with an appeal of
Tentative Parcel Map No. 78-38. This tentative parcel map is in conjunction with the
above mentioned tracts and was appealed by the applicant because of the conditions
of approval that required the dedication and improvement of 38th Street.

publication and posting had been met, and other than the letters of appeal, she had
