Mr. Bocian stated that to meet the timetable, staff would recommend that the Tentative Map be approved this evening with an additional recommendation that a condition be added that staff implement the Pleasanton Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan to the extent feasible, as determined by the City’s Traffic Engineer. Commissioner Blank moved to find that there are no new or changed circumstances which require additional CEQA review of the project, to make the tentative map findings regarding the acceptability/suitability of the project, and to approve PTR-8020, Vesting Tentative Tract Map 8020, subject to the Conditions of Approval as listed in Exhibit A of the staff report, with the addition of a condition that the Pleasanton Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan be implemented to the greatest extent feasible. Commissioner Pentin indicated that he did not agree with the proposed motion. Vice Chair Narum suggested the item return to the Commission. Commissioner Blank suggested that the following language be added at the end of the motion: “...and that implementation of the Plan return to the Planning Commission for further review.” Commissioner Pearce suggested delineating items requested such as bicycle detection. Commissioner Pentin felt there was an opportunity to sit down, look at the streets, and identify certain innovations that could be done to the streets in the Master Plan that the City is not required to do. Commissioner Blank indicated that he thinks the language “to the greatest extent feasible” covered this. Commissioner Pentin stated that the Master Plan points out innovative things that other cities are using as opportunities to change the way the City does its bicycle planning. Vice Chair Narum indicated that the Commission needs to approve the Tentative Map tonight but also ensure that the Pleasanton Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan be incorporated through a condition and include a review of it. She noted that the roads can be changed upon review by Mr. Tassano and not hold up the approval of the Tentative Map. Vice Chair Narum called for a five-minute break at 8:15 p.m. and thereafter reconvened the regular meeting. Mr. Bocian stated that to the extent there is right-of-way and there are not safety issues, the City can incorporate issues relating to the two-foot buffer and bicycle detection. He indicated that the vast majority of issues in the Master Plan do not impact the right-of-way or road width and most likely could be incorporated. He noted that the only PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES, October 27, 2010 Page 15 of 17
