/- Commissioner Wright concurs with the previous comments; he spoke to the affordable housing portion in the project and has found that such neighborhoods are kept up as well as any other Pleasanton neighborhood. The lighted sports park is needed more now than ever before and hopefully the use of these lights will prove that they can be put on the San Francisco Water District property. He can support the project. Commissioner Dove commended Scott Erickson in his efforts to get more affordable housing in Pleasanton; the children of Pleasanton residents will be able to purchase a home in Pleasanton instead of having to move away. Chair Barker does not like to see the affordable housing placed along the freeway, but if the developer just pays a fee, there is no affordable housing for anyone to live. It is a credit to the applicant that there is no neighborhood opposition to this project at this time. It is important for developers to work with the neighborhoods. Chair Barker agrees about the lights and feels it is important to approve the park lights and get them in the park. She feels it is important to approve the extension of Stoneridge because it is an important connection. She will support the project. Commissioner Wright motioned, seconded by Commissioner Cooper, (1) adopting a resolution recommending to the City Council certification of the Supplemental Em as adequate and complete in the assessment of the project's impacts and that the Em is in compliance with CEQA; (2a) adopting a resolution recommending to the City Council approval of the CEQA Findings for Case SPA-95-01 indicating that all potentially significant impacts can be reduced to a less than significant level; (2b) recommending to the City Council adoption of a Statement of Overriding Consideration for Potential Impact 4.3-2; (2c) the Commission has reviewed and considered the information contained in the EIR prior to taking action on the project and recommends to the City Council adoption of the Amended Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan; and (3) direct staff to modify the existing Specific Plan document according to the changes proposed by the amendment.
