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 />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 />
