Commissioners Kameny and Roberts returned to the dais. 7. MATTERS INITIATED BY COMMISSION MEMBERS Commissioner Roberts advised that she would like staff to obtain information regarding Livermore's plan to incorporate different size houses in new development projects, so that the Commission could discuss this issue. She noted that she would like to find a way to incorporate mid-range, moderate housing in new projects. She noted that Livermore is giving preference in its growth management approvals to developments that have a variety of sizes of houses, which provide affordability for moderate-income purchasers through size and design. There was unanimous consensus to bring this back as an agenda item. r Commissioner Sullivan questioned what is happening with the plans for the properties on the east side of Pleasanton and the property on the corner of Stanley and Bernal. He noted that he would like to see the Planning Commission conduct a workshop where staff presents the current plans for those properties that have proposals, and which would allow the Planning Commission the opportunity to provide feedback on what they would like to see on those sites. Commissioner Roberts commented that it would be pertinent to have this discussion prior to review of the Housing Element land use plan. Commissioner Sullivan stated that he would like to do this in the form of a workshop, so that it can be properly noticed and public input can be received, and the Planning Commission can provide feedback. Commissioner Arkin expressed support for a workshop. Commissioner Arkin noted that he liked the way the StanleylBernal area was presented using an aerial view at a previous meeting, and he would like to see this same format used for the east Pleasanton area. In response to an inquiry from Commissioner Roberts, Mr. Swift provided an update on the demolition and reconstruction of the Ruby Hill Winery building. In response to an inquiry from Commissioner Sullivan, Mr. Swift advised that the east side traffic study has been put on hold until the City's traffic model is developed.

Diablo Bank building parking on the vacant lot at the corner of Main Street and Old Stanley. She asked if there are any ideas for this vacant lot.
