in conformance with the Pleasanton Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan and ensure that the items be done. Commissioner Pentin stated that his biggest concern is that the issue would return with an indication that it cannot be done. Commissioner Blank stated that if direction is given that the Map must be in conformance with the Pleasanton Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan, it would be accomplished. Commissioner Pentin still voiced concern, noting that Stoneridge Drive is not addressed as far as new roadway improvements.He stated that the Commission’s goals and policies state “to increase and to incorporate and to update,” and this is an opportunity to go above and beyond. He indicated that if it just meets the standard, it probably does so without the innovation, and he believes this is the time to make the change and not address improvements later. Commissioner Blank stated that there is a Master Plan for a reason, and the same discussion could occur for the Downtown Specific Plan, the Foothill Overlay District, and other master plans. He indicated that he wants to be cautious and believes that it is absolutely legitimate to say the Commission wants to implement the Master Plan; however, he would be somewhat concerned about going over and above the Plan. He noted that if the Plan cannot be put into effect without changing anything, then quite possibly it was not a good master plan to begin with. Vice Chair Narum inquired whether the roads were locked in stone when a Vesting Tentative Map is approved. Mr. Bocian replied that generally, the Commission does not get into the details with the lane markers at this stage. Vice Chair Narum suggested that a condition be included to direct Mr. Tassano to ensure that bicycle lanes are incorporated per the Master Plan, as well as other items that could also be incorporated. Commissioner Pearce stated that this is something that could go to the Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Trails Committee. Commissioner Pentin stated that as things get locked in stone, the first thing one gets hit with is when trying to come back to it is that there is no budget to make it happen. Commissioner Blank indicated that everyone appears to be in agreement that the Plan should be put into effect in a meaningful way and not simply be lip service. He asked staff to arrive at verbiage which would provide that improvements to be made and to meet timetables. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES, October 27, 2010 Page 14 of 17
