accept changes which are purely court- or State agency-designed, this approach would better protect the interests of all Pleasanton residents. Gregg Hall, Legacy Partners Commercial, LLC, referred to the letter from their attorneys, Cox, Castle & Nicholson, LLP, which noted that several issues that were raised in their earlier letter dated November 24, 2008 were not responded to in the revised Draft General Plan or Final EIR. He requested that the Commission consider retaining the existing zoning in East Pleasanton until such time that the Specific Plan is adopted. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. Commissioner Blank referred to Chapter 5, Public Safety Element, Program 9.1 on page 5-38, and inquired if it requires the City to provide defibrillators in public buildings and educate the public in their use. Mr. Roush stated that the Program simply states “Provide defibrillators in public buildings and educate the public in their use.” He noted that it does not stipulate that they should be provided in all public buildings and that there is some discretion as to which public buildings. Commissioner Blank inquired if it would be more appropriate to say “some” public buildings. Mr. Roush replied that he would interpret that as not all public buildings must have defibrillators. Commissioner Blank further inquired questioned if the educational part is required. Mr. Roush replied that to educate the public is a fairly vague term and that there could be materials or instructions provided. He added that there is no formal education process where people will take a class; this is dependent upon how important it is to the City Council in terms of what the educational program might look like. Commissioner Blank indicated that he respectfully disagreed with this. Commissioner Blank then referred to Program 13.2 regarding the installation of automatic fire sprinklers and explained why he believed they were necessary. Commissioner Narum stated that she sees Program 13.3 on page 5-39 as providing the Planning Commission cover for when it requires sprinklers in new construction, which is not a current ordinance. She noted that she understands from Program 13.2 on page 5-39 that the fire sprinkler system will be adopted as a City ordinance, which is what the Planning Commission wants. She added that she believed Program 13.3 would allow the Commission to continue what it is doing and that there needs more focus to get Program 13.2 implemented and put the adopted ordinances in place.
