Commissioner Balch: I just want to mention that they are underway and people have moved and the housing that's going to be added to Pleasanton for senior housing is just outstanding. Chair Ritter: I know there's a task force that's coming for the Downtown Specific Plan. Do we need to assign anybody for those yet? Weinstein: The Downtown Specific Plan process is getting started. We already have been thinking conceptually about the scope of work for the DSP, but we'll be sort of diving into that in a lot more detail in the coming weeks. That said, we're still in the embryonic stage of getting the DSP up and running. I don't think we've identified for sure that there will be a task force, but there's a really good chance that there will be. It's hard to contemplate moving a DSP update forward without a task force. Originally the DSP update was intended to be relatively focused, yet the more people we talk to and the more we think about the DSP, the broader the scope of work is. So it's sort of morphing into a bigger project than we originally thought and because it's a bigger project, we'll probably want a task force to work on it. We will report back to you. There's a really good chance that we'll be asking for volunteers from this Commission. Chair Ritter: Would you mind, this is the staff report of March 23`d, Item 8.e. where read all this from. If you could on the next report just put who is the primary and who is the alternate next to each one of those so we can just keep track of it. It helps on the report. Weinstein: Sure. b. Future Planning Calendar Ritter: I just want to make a note, if you know you're going to be missing a meeting in the near future, just let staff know so we make sure we have a quorum. Weinstein: And just really quickly, what's up for the next Planning Commission meeting, it's a short meeting. We have three items and the first is consideration of a new process for looking at projects that require legislative changes, like General Plan Amendments or Rezoning's. We're calling it the 'gatekeeper process' right now, but it's sort of a new proposal for a preliminary evaluation of major changes for planning policies in the City, so you'll be seeing a staff report for that pretty soon. The second project is one that you've heard about before, the Irby Ranch project where Stanley and First meet, so about 100 residential units on about a 15 -acre site with a non - profit residential component for Sunflower Hill. And then the third project is a Conditional Use Permit for a day care facility on Hopyard at Stoneridge. Commissioner Balch: For staff, I have to check my participation on the Irby Ranch project. I may need to recuse. c. Actions of the City Council No discussion was held or action taken. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, April 13, 2016 Page 32 of 33
