Vineyard Corridor has a high rating for wild fire risk as well as many <br />areas with over 25 percent slopes. He believes any plan must incorporate Public Health and <br />Safety zones. <br /> <br />Regarding the legal issues, the debate goes on whether or not there has been some verbal <br />contracts. Chairman Lutz feels that the legal issues should be resolved before moving forward. <br /> <br />Chairman Lutz cannot support any plan with Medium Density Residential zoning along Vineyard <br />Avenue past Pietronave Lane because he feels that it is inconsistent with the Pleasanton General <br />Plan and the South Livermore Area Specific Plan. He cannot support the realignment of <br />Vineyard if it causes the addition of development that is located too close to the arroyo. Some <br />areas of the Vineyard corridor should be zoned Public Health and Safety, and he would like to <br />see the legal questions settled before proceeding. If he had to choose a subalternative, he would <br />go with the existing plan Subalternative 1, modified to include the Medium Density Residential <br />north of Vineyard and west of Pietronave Lane, as suggested in Subalternative 2. <br /> <br />Commissioner Wright spoke on the amenities of Sub alternative 7. He feels that nothing is being <br />given up by giving the property owners more units with Medium Density Residential zoning. <br />The overall density still falls within Low Density Residential, but it is not mini-vineyard estate <br />housing. Chairman Lutz disagreed with this opinion. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hovingh commented that the one thing Vineyard Corridor can contribute to the <br />City is Medium Density Residential housing. <br /> <br />Chairman Lutz clarified that he agrees to the Medium Density Residential zoning west of <br />Pietronave Lane because the infrastructure already exists in this area. <br /> <br />Commissioner Barker is opposed to Vineyard Avenue being placed along the arroyo. <br /> <br />A vote was taken by the Commissioners: <br />In favor of Sub alternative 7: Hovingh, McGuirk, and Wright <br />In favor of the General Plan Steering Committee recommendation without road realignment: <br />Barker and Lutz <br /> <br />Drive-Through Businesses <br /> <br />Commissioner Hovingh stated that he distributed the information he received from the American <br />Automobile Manufacturers Association, advising him to contact the Environment Protection <br />Agency. Their conclusion is that less gas is wasted by turning the engine off and restarting it <br />if expecting to idle more than 30 seconds. <br /> <br />Planning Commission Minutes <br /> <br />Page 5 <br /> <br />May 6. 1996 <br />
