Ms. Harryman replied that the main consideration would be that the obligations the <br />property owner is required to make will be made. She added that other factors could <br />include the economic climate and the City’s desire to have this plan and, therefore, to <br />provide more time. <br />THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. <br />Scott Trobbe, Applicant, Pleasanton Gateway, described the history of the proposal, <br />stating when they first made changes to the property about six years ago. He stated <br />that they have always tried to be good stewards and tried to do something other than let <br />the property lay idle. He noted that they have looked at different options for the property <br />and expressed those in various work sessions. He indicated that five years ago, he <br />began discussing a potential extension because the property is a large parcel at 40 <br />acres, and if it is developed in pieces, there would always be concerns from the main <br />tenants regarding what would happen with the balance of the property. He added that <br />from a financing perspective, it would be difficult to work with the banking community <br />without entitlements. <br />Mr. Trobbe stated that he personally wanted a ten-year extension to give them sufficient <br />time to work their way through the process, but that seven years is acceptable. <br />THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. <br />Commissioner Blank moved to recommend to the City Council to find that the <br />amendment to the Development Agreement between the City and Pleasanton <br />Gateway is consistent with the General Plan and the Bernal Property Specific <br />Plan. <br />Commissioner Pentin seconded the motion. <br />ROLL CALL VOTE: <br />AYES: Commissioners Blank, Narum, Olson, Pearce, and Pentin. <br />NOES: None. <br />ABSTAIN: None. <br />RECUSED: None. <br />ABSENT: None. <br />Resolution No. PC-2010-09 recommending the amendment to the Development <br />Agreement was entered and adopted as motioned. <br />7.
