standards. Councilmember McGovern said the applicant intended to do right by this project and has put forth an attractive development. It would be a much better development if more trees could remain, the bungalow were preserved, and the density reduced, but it is irrelevant whether or not the bungalow is on a registry. It is a 102 year old home that could be preserved and adds to the ambience of the entire community. She requested a new arborist report, specifically by Mike Fulford and said the development should live within the noise guidelines the city nas in place rather than rely on manipulated studies. She reiterated concerns regard ng the lack of green space and said that increased density needs to be associated with an eye towards adequate space for children to play. She requested that `Bernal property" under Condition #34 be changed to `Bernal Park" and for the irrigation guidelines under 6a to be reflected in Condition #38. She said she would like the project sent back for the Planning Commission to consider in full and with an eye towards the entire landscape of Stanley Boulevard. Councilmember Sullivan disagreed with the idea that these issues should have been resolved before coming before the Commission and Council. He welcomes this discussion, which is what the public process is about, concurred with much of what was said, and agreed the application should return to the Planning Commission with consideration given to the entire community. He said the existing bungalow should be preserved and restored as an amenity for upzoning the entire parcel. The Commission created a historic building preservation ordinance ten years ago, but opposition from the Pleasanton Downtown Association kept it from ever reaching the Council. He said the project should either be single-family units at a lower density or multi-family high-density housing that is subject to the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance. Exempting the mos:significant source of noise is not the proper way to analyze or mitigate noise impacts and again requested information indicating where on the property those impacts could be truly mitigated. He supported Councilmember McGovern's request for some sort of peer review or additional tree study and said he would like the solar study prepared for Mr. VValtecson taken into consideration. Mr. Otto confirmed that staff has a good understanding of the issues and would meet with the property owner and developer for additional discussion.
