Actions of the Zoning Administrator No discussion was held or action taken. d. Matters for Commission's Information East Pleasanton Specific Plan Commissioner Ritter stated that he was out of town and was not able to attend the East Pleasanton Specific Plan Task Force and requested an update on its proceedings. Mr. Dolan stated that the meeting went pretty well; the Task Force split into three groups to discuss generally some themes about a preferred alternative and bringing it back, and the groups reported out with two of the groups right in sync and one not very far off. He added that there was a minority opinion, but staff will be bringing back something that represents the majority's preferred alternative as the Task Force moves forward, and the remainder would be brought forward as alternatives that can still be considered and evaluated as alternatives in the EIR if everybody agrees. Commissioner Allen inquired what the leaning was. Mr. Dolan replied that the Task Force is leaning a little higher than what is in the preferred alternative, which has something like 1,700 units. He noted that a lot of that had to do with the additional cost analysis that was done by the economic people and that some other lower alternatives will be moved forward as well. He added that it gets a little more detailed in the EIR, but there is still the opportunity to adopt different ones. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, August 14, 2013 Page 16 of 17
