RECOGNIZING AND EXPRESSING APPRECIATION FOR THE WORK PERFORMED
BY THE SAN RAFAEL PLANNING COMMISSION IN THE PREPARATION OF
THE SAN RAFAEL GENERAL PLAN.
WHEREAS, State law substantially changed the contents and increased the
complexity of General Plans in 1971 and necessitated that the City of San Rafael
prepare and adopt a new General Plan; and
WHEREAS, the development of a new General Plan necessitated the formulation
of goals and objectives on basic issues involving this community's future; and
WHEREAS, there was a wide divergence of public opinion relevant to such
basic goals and objectives; and
WHEREAS, the resolution of these different opinions into a plan that would
be supported by the majority of the community represents the highest level of dedi-
cation and ability; and
WHEREAS, in an effort to accomplish the above, the Planning Commission met
for long hours and with unprecedented frequency during 1973 and 1974; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission with staff assistance carefully listened
to the public input and in response thereto substantially rewrote the General Plan
to accommodate the expressed desires of the citizenry; and
WHEREAS, The General Plan as rewritten by the Planning Commission and city
staff is the plan that has been adopted by the City of San Rafael;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of San
Rafael publically acknowledges the conscientious, dedicated, and extensive work per-
formed by the Planning Commission and the personal sacrifice of many nights and hours
that this necessitated upon the part of the individual commission members; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council expresses its conviction
that these efforts were of substantial importance in the ultimate formulation of
a plan that could be supported by a large majority of the public and which was adopted
by the City Council; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council expresses its thanks for a
most difficult job well done to these dedicated Planning Commission members.
