Exact process

There was a valid point brought up in an earlier comment and after a little research I realized I had made a mistake and inadvertently left out one step in the process for the application for Ponte Vista.

The actual steps are:
1. After the CAC finishes their work, it goes to Councilwoman Hahn's office. Doing the CAC first saves time later because sometimes the City Council Planning sub-committee asks for a CAC to be formed to get their input;
2. Next the Councilwoman adds her ideas to the Specific Plan suggested by the CAC and sends it up to;
3. The City Planning Department who studies the Specific Plan and does their magic with making certain it fits in with the General Area Plan;
4. The Specific Plan then goes up to the Planning Commission. They look at how the Specific Plan fits into the doctrine of their goals;
5. After this it goes to the City Council who automatically sends it down to their Planning Committee to be certain all municipal codes and regulations have been complied with. When they are finished;
6. the Specific Plan goes back up to the City Council for a vote to approve it.

Sorry I left out the one step in my first description of the process.
