Councilmember Pentin inquired whether mosquitofish are an invasive species and the plan for addressing infestation in the Tri-Valley area proactively. Mr. Clausnitzer reported they are only released in man-made sources and that plan is eradication. Councilmember Narum mentioned the Alameda County Mosquito Abatement District maintains a large reserve, separate from its annual budget, in the event certain hazardous mosquitoes are identified in the area. 10. Public Comment Marilyn Ludt expressed concern regarding residents removing landscaping and replacing it with pavers. She reported there is no provisions in the Municipal Code which prevent homeowner's from removing their landscaping, although other municipalities have such ordinances. She expressed concern such landscape removal will impact home values. She requested the City Council initiate a process to introduce an ordinance addressing this matter as well as include it in any future Work Plan. She mentioned she will be addressing outdoor pickle ball courts with the Recreation Commission. Joan Tenbrink invited members of the community to participate with the Pleasanton Women's March Action Group in the upcoming Tri-Valley Women's March. PUBLIC HEARINGS AND OTHER MATTERS 11. Public Hearing:, Hacienda Owners Association PUD-81-30-57M/PUD-85-08-30M and PUD-81- 30-58M/PUD-85-08-31M — Consider applications for Major Modifications to the Planned Unit Development (PUD) governing Hacienda Business Park (PUD-81-30 and PUD-85-08) to update the Hacienda PUD development plan and Design Guidelines A staff report was given by Gerry Beaudin, Director of Community Development and Jennifer Hagen, Associate Planner, which included a PowerPoint presentation addressing the project background, business park, purpose, development plan, calculating development capacity, current capacity methodology, proposed capacity methodology, permitted uses, design guidelines, clarifications, and conclusion and recommendation. Councilmember Pentin requested clarification regarding the permitted uses for each planning district. Director Beaudin and Associate Planner Hagen responded the MCOIRPD is a broad category and if a development request fits within one of the newly proposed subcategories, it would be permitted under the other subcategory. Director Beaudin affirmed staff would work with the developer to clarify their proposals if there was any misunderstanding of the permitted uses. Councilmember Narum requested clarification regarding development project changes if a parcel currently had a residential or high-density designation, and expressed concern that the housing units would not be traded to obtain more square footage. Director Beaudin confirmed any projects for housing opportunity sites would require an additional public process to move forward with any use other than residential prior to the reallocation or relocation of housing units. Councilmember Narum inquired whether the decrease of 380,000 square feet of office space would impact the City's Regional Housing Need Allocation (RHNA) numbers. Director Beaudin responded the RHNA allocations are based upon the number of employees, although in theory the numbers could change. The City will make the case regarding any impacts to the City's RHNA allocations should the matter be presented. City Council Minutes Page 3 of 5 January 15, 2019
