REVIEW OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORTS Council had been provided with a memorandum dated February 11, 1975, from the Planning Director which gave a review of Environmental Impact Reports. A recent court decision expands the role of the EIR and will result in preparation of a document similar to an operations manual rather than a resolution as previously adopted. The appeal procedure, an area of Council concern, will be spoken to in said manual. Councilman Wood stated the entire authority to pass on subject reports has been delegated to the Planning Commission and in his opinion, the right of appeal should be separate from the entitlement; currently it is one package. The City Attorney explained that the right of appeal is contained in the present zoning ordinance; the question of the adequacy of an EIR could reach the City Council in the form of an appeal of the Planning Commission' s action on a project. A strict interpre- tation would give the Planning Commission responsibility for reviewing EIRs associated with Use Permits and Architectural Review items and the Council would have responsibility for reviewing EIRs associated with Zone Changes, Geeneral Plan Amendments and Variances. �- - On a motion by Councilman Wood, seconded by Councilman Simpson it was unanimously carried to include appeal right on Environmental Impact Reports to Council.
