CITY OF PLEASANTON COUNTY OF AIAMEDA STATE OF CALIFORNIA RESOLUTION NO, 3123 Whereas, the Alameda County Planning Con~nission is presently considering amendments to its Zoning Ordinance which would change the permitted land use from agricultural to heavy industrial of an area consisting of approximately 678 acres located southerly of U. S. Highway 50 and westerly of Hopyard Road; and Whereas, said area proposed to be rezoned has been included in the "Pleasanton Planning Area" for the purpose of advisory review by the City of Pleasanton relative to proposed zoning changes; and Whereas, the City of Pleasanton is presently studying the extension of its official General Plan to include said area proposed to be rezoned and has set an initial hearing date for said General Plan extension for February 16, 1961; Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved as follows: 1. The City Council does hereby affirm and approve the action of the Pleasanton planning Commission in adopting Resolution No. 125~ and does hereby urge the Almmeda County Planning Cow,,~ssion to deny the request to rezone said area from agricultural to heavy industrial. 2. This request and recommendation is made for the following reasons: a. The rezoning of the area in question may well result in over- zoning for industry~ in the "Pleasanton Planning Area". b. Heavy industrial development of the type allowed by the Alamedm County Zoning Ordinance would create serious air pollution problems for the entire Amador Valley. c. Heavy industrial development of the type allowed by the Alameda County Zoning Ordinance is much less restrictive than that allowe~ by the Pleasanton Zoning Ordinance. Such development in the area in question under the ~l~meda CoIA~lty Zoning Ordinance would not be compatible with the future application of the Pleasanton General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, and would tend to nullify the "Industrial Park" concept embodied in the City of Pleasanton
