Commissioner Narum stated that she had one item that she would like to throw out: the three different PUD Planning documents that govern the Hacienda Business Park, which were last reviewed in 1993. She indicated that her priority would be to take those, review them, and consolidate them into one document so that any company coming in would know what the expectation is as far as getting approval for whatever it is it wants to do. Chair Blank noted that it would be a humungous task but is very much related to Planning and sounds like a good idea. Commissioner O'Connor inquired if the separate documents were meant to be addendums so it is really only one document. Commissioner Narum replied that one document is pre-1993 wherein businesses had to mitigate their traffic back to a Level-of-Service C; the second was where businesses were assigned a trip rate or a traffic count that was then subtracted off the total; and the third was for schools, health and public safety, and housing. Mr. Dolan added that on top of that entire PUD are the development standards and design guidelines that were recently adopted. Commissioner Olson noted that prioritization by the Commission is designed to tell the City Council what the Commission thinks is really important. He indicated that the Commission and staff are already working on the East Pleasanton Specific Plan, and if the Commission were to list it as a priority, the Commission is fundamentally telling the City Council to keep the pressure on that subject and to make sure that it is progressing and not getting side-tracked because it is a huge committee. He continued that his second point is the Hacienda planning documents, which he is not familiar with. He noted that if they have not been reviewed for a long time, it would be a good thing to consider because it is a really important area for the City in terms of revenue generation. Commissioner Posson stated that he thinks the East Pleasanton Specific Plan should be on the list as that will really define what is going to happen for the large area that is still undeveloped. He agreed with Commissioner Olson to keep the pressure on the group so it keeps moving. He indicated that another piece is the Climate Action Plan implementation. He noted that having a hand in crafting that, he thinks there is a lot of activity that really flows over to Planning. He added that at the last meeting he attended, Mr. Dolan came and spoke to its planning issues and progress. He indicated that this is something that this Commission could look at, help move on, and take to the next level as far as sustainability for the City is concerned.
