Dear Enclosed is a copy of a staff   report   being transmitted to the   City Planning   Commission relative to the down zoning   of the Los Amigas property. The Commission will be considering the suggestions made at its   regular   meeting of July 2, 2006 after 2:15 P.M., in Room 561-A,   City Hall .  I think it is extremely important that we attend.

It might not be a bad idea to have Phil Watson   present   also. What do you think?
