Planning Commission, 3/3/70 Page 2 PUBLIC HEARING - CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT ELEMENT OF THE GENERAL PLAN Upon being assured by Director Gallop that the public hearing for the Capital Improvement Element of the General Plan had been duly advertised, Chairman Moss declared the hearing open. Director Gallop advised that the Capital Improvement Plan was originally pre - pared in 1966 by Hahn, Wise and Associates but was never adopted by the City. Since that time it has become a mandatory requirement in any application for grant funds and, therefore, the Capital Improvement Plan was reviewed and rewritten as a 20 year plan. Commissioner Strother stated that, in regard to the fire station (Page 7), he felt there would be a need for two fire houses, one to the east and one to the west, and that he didn't agree with the proposed location on Traffic Way since there is a traffic problem there now.

PUBLIC HEARING - HOUSING ELEMENT OF THE GENERAL PLAN Upon being assured by Director Gallop that the public hearing for the adoption of the Housing Element of the General Plan had been duly advertised, Chairman Moss declared the hearing open. Director Gallop advised that this is a newly required element of the General Plan, also required by the Federal government for HUD grants. He commented that in preparing this element an effort was made to establish the areas of need based on census figures gained last year from the State census, taking into account the housing inventory from a standpoint of visual inspection. Director Gallop advised that the City does not have house to house inspection where actual inspection of the premises can be made, but over the past five or six years the Building Department has made an effort to check houses which were found to be substandard and through cooperation with the owners, voluntary rehabilitation or elimination of the housing units has been accomplished. We have also analyzed the building permits for the past ten years and it appears from the value of build - ings constructed that we are taking care of the upper and middle class of people, but the low income people have not been getting the housing within the city limits. Director Gallop pointed out that, in analyzing all of the figures, he felt that the way to explore means of additional housing within the city is by the formation of a housing committee of citizens to investigate all of the many methods of federal assistance available, and come up with some recommendations. No further discussion for or against the proposed Housing Element of the General Plan, Chairman Moss declared the hearing closed.
