Council concurred that the asphalt plant is the crux of the issues and they
could not concur with staff's recommendation. Issues raised included: where
have the fines been going in the past; what project would they have if they
expanded to what is currently permitted under the terms of the County-issued
CUP; how much is the city required to allow under terms of the 1985 EIR; and
water requirements since the reclamation plant will not be completed by
December, 1993 as cited in the subsequent EIR.
