Resolution No. PC-2013-08 approving Case P12-1716/P13-0007 was entered and <br /> adopted as motioned. <br /> 6. PUBLIC HEARINGS AND OTHER MATTERS <br /> a. P12-1796, City of Pleasanton <br /> Application to amend Title 18 of the Pleasanton Municipal Code by <br /> adding a new Chapter 18.70, Ridgeline and Hillside Protection and <br /> Preservation, with development standards and review procedures for <br /> commercial and residential developments in the hillside areas of the <br /> City. <br /> Commissioner O'Connor stated that after having some discussion with the Legal staff, <br /> he has decided to recuse himself from this item because of the proximity of his home to <br /> one of the streets that could potentially access traffic. He then left the dais, and <br /> Commissioner Posson took his place on the dais. <br /> Commissioner Posson requested that this item be continued to the next Commission <br /> meeting as he would like more time to get better up-to-speed with staff prior to taking a <br /> vote. <br /> Chair Blank explained, for the knowledge of the public, that the Commissioner's <br /> Handbook provides the authority for Commissioners, at their discretion and at any time, <br /> to request a postponement of any item. <br /> Commissioner Pearce noted that there are people in the audience who are in <br /> attendance in order to speak. She inquired if the Commission would discuss opening <br /> the public hearing without a staff report to allow these people to speak to the item, and <br /> then closing the public hearing and continuing the item. <br /> Chair Blank asked Julie Harryman if there is any problem with doing that. <br /> Ms. Harryman replied that it was perfectly fine. <br /> Chair Blank addressed those among the public who came to speak to this item, stating <br /> that if they would like to speak this evening, the Commission would like to hear from <br /> them, especially if they cannot come back for at the next meeting. He noted that their <br /> comments will be included in the record and will be part of the Commission's discussion <br /> at that meeting, or they could also choose to come back then and speak at that time. <br /> THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. <br /> Amy Lofland indicated she will speak at the next meeting when it returns to the <br /> Commission. <br /> PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, February 13, 2013 Page 4 of 20 <br />
