Councilmember Sullivan said he could offer support if a commitment to do as Mr. Roush proposed <br /> was added to the language. <br /> Vice -Mayor Cook Kallio supported Program 18.1 as reflected in the amendment as well as Program <br /> 18.2 with the intent of revision, as more information is available. <br /> Mr. Fialho said the language currently states, "...provide the land use flexibility for the Hacienda <br /> Business Park, portions of Stoneridge Mall, and other areas through mixed -use designation." He <br /> suggested adding, as with the East Pleasanton Specific Plan, "clarify intent," with that intent being <br /> to plan mixed -use within a specified radius of the Bart station as it relates to Hacienda Business <br /> Park. <br /> Vice -Mayor Cook Kallio asked if intent could be signaled to state that until that radius is known, a <br /> specific distance is not specified. <br /> Mr. Fialho suggested that rather than mileage, the intent call out characteristics such as walk ability, <br /> pedestrian orientation, and reasonable distance. <br /> Mr. Dolan shared Ms. Stern's suggestion with the Council, proposing that the Council make <br /> reference to its intent to provide only enough mixed -use designation to comply with the assigned <br /> RHNA numbers. <br /> Mayor Hosterman requested Council's support. <br /> Councilmember McGovern repeated her request for a business park/mixed -use designation and <br /> said she cannot support full mixed -use for the entire park. <br /> Mr. Roush said that may be possible and alternatively suggested the intent to revisit the mixed -use <br /> land designation for Hacienda Business Park in context of the re- zoning. The Council and staff <br /> concurred. <br /> Councilmember Sullivan said climate change has never been discussed in terms of a General Plan <br /> element and this is an excellent beginning to putting that policy in place. Referencing Page 11 -24 of <br /> the Noise Element, he asked to add language to Program 1.1 that requires the development of <br /> criteria and guidelines for evaluating and limiting peak noise impacts relative to new development <br /> projects. <br /> Mayor Hosterman voiced support, noting the request is in line with earlier comments on general <br /> noise attenuation. <br /> Councilmember Sullivan requested the addition of a policy that discusses advocacy and support for <br /> a green economy in Pleasanton and throughout the region. The Council provided consensus. <br /> Councilmember Sullivan stated that his support for the Stoneridge Drive Extension was based on <br /> the agreement of a regional framework, funding levels and timing, and the 1 -year opportunity for the <br /> public to circulate an initiative measure. He noted that the General Plan does not acknowledge that <br /> initiative process and he cannot support the Circulation Element without it. He also noted that the <br /> Element does not contain necessary traffic projections based on this extension and other planning <br /> improvements. <br /> Mayor Hosterman disagreed and said completion of Stoneridge Drive is a necessity with the 124 <br /> acres of approved development plans in the area. She cautioned that failure to do so could bring on <br /> another lawsuit from the Attorney General's office with regards to AB32. She said once completion <br /> City Council Minutes Page 11 of 14 July 21, 2009 <br />
