report and that the ordinance would come before the Commission for consideration and <br />subsequent recommendation to Council. <br />Commissioner Fox noted that a few years back, the Planning Commission had discussed <br />agendizing discussion along these lines. Ms. Decker replied that this discussion first <br />occurred when the General Plan was considering some language limiting development on <br />25 percent grading slopes in Public Health and Safety districts. She noted that the <br />Council reviewed and made recommendations on the subject but did not adopt any <br />particular language changes with regard to limiting construction within those areas. She <br />added that the discussion was followed by a variety of projects, including the Oak Grove <br />project that included both the Council and the Commission, followed by the Initiative. <br />She stated that the Council is considering the topic again at this time. <br />Commissioner Fox inquired if staff could look into the Pleasanton Ridgelands Initiative <br />that was adopted in the 1990's, which, she understood was no longer valid because a <br />Court of Appeals judge threw it out. Ms. Decker indicated that she was not familiar with <br />it. Ms. Harryman stated she would look into it. <br />8. MATTERS FOR COMMISSION'S REVIEW /ACTION <br />a. Future Planning Calendar <br />Staples Ranch Projects <br />Ms. Decker informed the Commission that beginning with the April 23 packet, an <br />outline of the Planning Commission meeting schedule for Staples Ranch would be <br />included in the packet. She further informed the Commission that when Staples Ranch <br />comes before the Commission at its regular meetings, Staples Ranch items would be the <br />only item(s) on the agenda. She noted that in that respect, the Commission will have to <br />meet on other dates to conduct its regular business. She requested the Commissioners to <br />check their calendars for special meeting dates on May 21 and June 26 <br />Commissioner O'Connor stated that he noticed there were two items in last meeting's <br />Future Planning Calendar, PV- 128 /PDR -470 at 287 Old Bernal Avenue and PCUP -176, <br />326 St. Mary Street, that were no longer on the list. Ms. Decker replied that both projects <br />have not been withdrawn but are at a standstill, and staff does not know at this point <br />when it might come forward. She noted that the project on Old Bernal Avenue is going <br />through some design modification across the street and has a high FAR. She added that <br />the project on St. Mary Street was a proposal for a use permit for the second floor. <br />Commissioner Fox commented that she believed there was a condition of approval put on <br />the property at St. Mary Street regarding the time the patio should close at night. <br />Ms. Decker clarified that the condition was for the first floor, and this application is for <br />the second floor. Commissioner O'Connor inquired if the operator on the second floor <br />would be the same as that on the first floor. Ms. Decker said it would be a different <br />person. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, April 9, 2008 Page 30 of 33 <br />
