Seconded by Councilmember Aalfs, the motion carried 5-0. REGULAR AGENDA (6) Public Hearing: Town Council Review of the Amendment to Conditional Use Permit X7D-30, consisting of a parcel merger and expansion of athletic facilities with new track and artificial turf infill at the Woodside Priory School at 302 Portola Road and Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration, specifically regarding only whether the proposed use of artificial turf will be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the zoning ordinance [7:35 p.m.] Ms. Kristiansson said the Town Council would consider the information in the Planning Commission record and the written staff report for tonight’s meeting, as well as comments made during the public hearing, to determine whether the artificial turf proposed for the Priory’s track and field project is consistent with the general purpose and intent of the Town’s Zoning Ordinance and General Plan. As stated in the staff report, she said, this doesn’t mean it must be consistent with every sentence of those documents, but whether it’s consistent with the overall vision for the community they set forth. According to Ms. Kristiansson, the applicant was advised early in the process that this issue could be a difficult one and including artificial turf in the application would likely increase the time needed to act on the application. As the staff report explains, at this point it isn’t a technical question but a matter of value judgment and interpretation. Staff believes that either interpretation could be supported, given a reading of the General Plan. After tonight’s public hearing, Ms. Kristiansson continued, the Council will have to determine whether the majority of the Town Council support the interpretation that artificial turf would be consistent or inconsistent with the General Plan. The Town Council will then have three sets of actions to consider. If the majority believes artificial turf is consistent with the General Plan, the Council should affirm the decision of the Planning Commission, using the resolution in Attachment B of the staff report. If the majority believes artificial turf is not consistent with the General Plan, the Council will need to decide whether the environmental documents are adequate under CEQA. As explained in the Staff Report and previous meetings, the standards for CEQA differ from the Town’s standards for conditional use permit (CUP) findings. CEQA standards are limited to environmental impacts only and are much narrower in scope than the Town’s finding for consistency with the General Plan, Finding 6. As a result, the Town Council could adopt the environmental documents as adequate under CEQA, but determine that the Council could not make the required findings for a CUP for the project with the artificial turf. In that case, the Council could add a condition to prohibit the use of artificial turf to the CUP. The resolutions supporting these actions are in Attachment C of the staff report. The Town Council could determine the environmental documents aren’t adequate and should be revised to indicate the artificial turf could have potentially significant impact under CEQA and that additional mitigation measures to prohibit the use of artificial turf are needed. If this were the direction of the Council, the environmental documents would need to be revised and publicly re- circulated for 30 days. The Town Council would then need to hold another public hearing to consider comments on the revised environmental document and on the artificial turf before acting on the environmental document and the project.

  • Nutrition in San Mateo County Schools
    Nutrition in San Mateo County Schools Summary | Issue | Background | Findings | Conclusions | Recommendations | Responses | Attachments Summary The rise in childhood obesity and Type 2 diabetes rates for children prompted the San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury to investigate what food and beverages were being sold to students in San Mateo County schools. The Grand Jury found a significant amount of food and beverages sold at schools to be of little or no nutritional value or very high in fat. School administrators recognize the need for change but must balance this with fiscal obligations and the need to keep extracurricular activities in place. Public concern and current and pending legislation have increased the focus on this issue making significant and timely changes imperative. The Grand Jury concluded that schools are contributing to the current obesity problem, and should exercise their authority to impact positively the nutritional well-being of their students, by promoting balanced and healthy choices and educating students on the importance of good nutrition. • Key recommendations of the Grand Jury include: • All school districts in the County should develop plans to comply with the provisions of SB677 and the potential legislation of SB1566 even though they may not be required by law to do so. • School districts should immediately: o reduce the sizes of beverages offered from 20 oz. to 12 oz. o remove all “king size” snack items from schools o require vendors to stock waters and 100% juices in vending machines and snack bars
