David Stark, representing the Board of Directors for Pleasanton Gardens Incorporated, explained the process of the previously mentioned project; thanked and congratulated the City Council for bringing the project to a close and placing an emphasis on lower-income seniors. Michelle Kositch spoke regarding the Villages at Ironwood community, related cul-de-sac parking restrictions and access to emergency vehicles. PUBLIC HEARINGS AND OTHER MATTERS 14. Consider adopting a resolution accepting the mapping of the Southeast Hills pursuant to Measure PP, Save Pleasanton's Hills and Housing Cap Initiative Director of Community Development Gerry Beaudin introduced the project and brief background. Associate Planner Megan Canales presented the details of the staff report, including background of Measure PP, goals, general location, slope map, ridgelines and spurs, development potential map and staff recommendation. Councilmember Brown inquired as to the language in the report and the lack of need for a definition for the term "spur." Mr. Beaudin noted that due to the nature of the spur, they are rendered undevelopable, as such no additional definitions are recommended. Councilmember Brown expressed concern about the text in the staff report and resolution relating to methodology and mapping of the southern hills, pursuant to Measure PP, being employed in other areas of the City. Mr. Beaudin noted that is the expectation of other applicants to follow the methodology used in this instance as a starting point, should the Council approve it, however, it's expected that the methodology will get more specific to other projects. It is not recommended that this policy be broadly applied. Councilmember Pentin noted that mapping can be scaled, but utilizing the same methodology, future applicants will have to map land. Councilmember Narum inquired as to the notification of the surrounding property owners. Councilmember Brown requested that the same process and same mapping technology be used if another project should be proposed. City Manager Nelson Fialho suggested that the Council direct staff whether the language in the resolution be changed from "can" to "shall" with regards to the methodology of the mapping to be applied to future projects. Mayor Thorne noted there were no one who wished to address this item. City Council Minutes Page 3 of 5 December 5, 2017
