Does not think that the voters in San Diego would want a regional agency making local decisions. Old Proposition C showed support for regional growth planning and review. The measure will be shared with the Team at its request. Language for the possibility of release of local land use control should be carefully stated in order for the local jurisdictions to properly consider it.

Most people do want better land use and transportation decisions.
Vice Chairman Madrid. The key to address this issue is fiscal reform. The public in general supports being more restrictive regarding land use decisions. There needs to be consensus among the Team to release local land use control to a regional agency. If the political process in San Diego stays as it currently is, the State will dictate a regional agency for San Diego.
