Councilmember McGovern said when returning to rezone properties, she wants to look at the <br /> City as a whole because light industrial and public and institutional are proposed to be rezoned. <br /> These are important kinds of land use that the City does not want to market itself out of, <br /> especially when there will be start-up companies and clean and green industries. She also <br /> suggested looking at Site 18 because both Planning Commissioners that were on the task force <br /> did not want Site 18 to be on the list. The reason why is that the City has thought about <br /> purchasing this property for a long time and using it as part of its civic center and library <br /> remodel, for possible TOD, and she thinks the City should make a decision as to whether it will <br /> or will not purchase this property. If it is going to purchase it, discussions should occur as to how <br /> it will be used best. What also bothers her is that there is no letter of support for the zoning <br /> change from the owner of the property. As time moves forward to HCD, she suggested the City <br /> focus on whether it will purchase this property and how it may use it. Also to be cleared up is <br /> properties in Hacienda for housing, and she suggested pushing the issue that if it is going to <br /> residential, it will reduce commercial which is not fair to continue doing. <br /> Councilmember Sullivan agreed that this has already happened in the previous rezonings in <br /> Hacienda and it could potentially happen here with the next RHNA cycles. He asked if this could <br /> be something included in the growth management discussions. Councilmember McGovern <br /> agreed that she thinks the public process and task force process has been shown to work in <br /> Pleasanton and appreciates the time taken and hard work of staff. <br /> Mayor Hosterman thanked Commissioners, task force members, and staff. <br /> Motion carried by the following vote: <br /> Ayes: Councilmembers Cook-Kallio, McGovern, Sullivan, Thorne, Mayor Hosterman <br /> Noes: None <br /> Absent: None <br /> MATTERS INITIATED BY COUNCIL - None <br /> COUNCIL REPORTS - None <br /> ADJOURNMENT <br /> There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:35 p.m. The Council extended <br /> a tribute to our nation's men and women serving in the military. We wish to honor the memories <br /> of those who have died in past wars in defense of our country, including those who have died in <br /> the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. <br /> Res-e Ily subm ed, <br /> a <br /> ar n z 110 City Clerk <br /> City Council Minutes Page 14 of 14 July 19,2011 <br />
