Review and discuss the working draft Vision Statement to guide the preparation of the East Pleasanton Specific Plan Mayor Thorne acknowledged the concerns of some that the Council is discussing the Vision Statement prior to a vote by the East Pleasanton Specific Plan Task Force. He assured them that this is one of what will be many opportunities for the Council to receive updates and provide input, so that the end product is something the Council can ultimately support. Community Development Director Dolan presented the staff report. He provided a brief review of the plan area and the specific process outlined for the Task Force. To assist in ceveloping the Vision Statement, staff prepared a preliminary background report, opportunities and constraints analysis, general traffic report, economic and market analysis, and environmental conditions report. Once the Task force has adopted the Vision Statement, they will take a closer look at the opportunities and constraints and analyze several land use and circulation plan alternatives before selecting a preferred plan alternative and preparing environmental documents for the formal public review process.
