Commissioner Pearce stated that it will be a higher -level discussion when the Commission gets the text back. Chair Blank stated that when the Commission gets the text back, it could think about the Pleasanton Ridge example and make sure that has been accommodated. Commissioner O'Connor stated that he thinks that would be a bigger issue. Mr. Dolan stated that he thinks staff can just document that there is nothing in the Pleasanton Ridge that Pleasanton has control over because there are no properties there. Chair Blank agreed but suggested that it might be worthwhile to look at a topography map and see if there are ridgelines in some of the developable properties that might have the Pleasanton Ridge situation. Mr. Dolan indicated that staff will attempt to do that before the next meeting. Chair Blank stated that he thinks it is the sense of the Commission that this be prioritized as the first item on the next agenda. 11: 14 101:34[0j:l=F_1:iI►mla- &4:7 *6];J :I 114 0 Allen Roberts stated that the Pleasanton Ridge thing was just something he knew the Commission could understand and visualize. He noted that as he looks at things like Oak Grove, there are a number of ridges like that which do not fall into the definition that staff came up with, and that is the reason he brought it up. Carol Spain stated that one point she mentioned that was in the email from Amy Laughlin was to re -look at what was written up in Item E -3 to ensure that the verbiage is an accurate reflection of what the intent was, to better match what was in the Minutes, although that may be a concern now that what is in the Minutes does not match what is in the tapes. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. Ms. Harryman requested clarification regarding Item E.2. where the word "exemption" is used. She indicated that she is hearing Commissioner O'Connor's interpretation, for example, that these public amenities are not commercial or residential, so they are really not an exception but an interpretation. She noted that just as she saw in the manufactured slope, she is seeing this as an interpretation and so it does not apply, but it can be a clarification. She added that the word exemption /exception, given how initiatives work and not wanting to amend, is not necessarily an amendment, but one can sort of see how it gets there. She asked how the Commission felt about changing this language so it is not an exemption but an interpretation or clarification. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, January 23, 2013 Page 31 of 44
