<br /> <br />. <br /> <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hovingh noted that Goal 2 is duplicated with Goal 2 of the Housing Element. <br />He feels one goal should be deleted because of a possible future inconsistency in the General <br />Plan if one goal is revised and the second goal is not. Staff advised that both goals should <br />remain; however, Housing Goal 2 could be specified to relate to residential growth. This was <br />agreed to by the Commission. <br /> <br />Mr. Rasmussen advised that the EBRPD requested that the City designate the first 600 feet west <br />of Foothill Road on the Garms Ranch as Low Density Residential instead of Parks and <br />Recreation so it could approach the City with a land use permit for a school, church, etc. <br /> <br />A vote was taken by the Commissioners: <br />In favor of the request: 4-1 (McGuirk opposed). <br /> <br />Chapter III. Circulation Element <br /> <br />Commissioner Barker is opposed to calling Bernal Avenue, Vineyard Avenue, First Street, and <br />Main Street arterials and would like them removed from the last paragraph on Page III-I. After <br />a response from Mr. Van Gelder, this suggestion was not pursued by the Commission. <br /> <br />Page III-13, Program 4.4: Commissioner Wright noted the recommendation of the Economic <br />Development Advisory Committee of advising all residents and propertv owners of street <br />closures. The Commission members agreed to this recommended change. <br /> <br />Page 11I-12, Program 3.2: Commissioner Hovingh would like to discourage commercial and <br />non-local use of streets through residential neighborhoods. Mr. Van Gelder feels that this <br />program is restating existing ordinances; he does not want to establish truck routes or use route <br />signs. Agreement was reached to modify the program to read: "Discourage non-local and <br />commercial traffic from using streets through residential areas by the use of truck prohibition <br />signs. " <br /> <br />Page III-13, Program 4.5 and Program 5.2: These programs were discussed by the <br />Commission; however, no modifications were made. <br /> <br />Page III-14, Program 5.5: This program was discussed; no modifications were made. <br /> <br />Page 11I-14, Program 7.2: A proposal was made to delete the reference to West Dublin BART <br />Station support. Commissioner Hovingh suggested a modification to read: "Request BART to <br />plan for a total of 6,000 parking spaces at the East DublinlPleasanton BART station," and delete <br />"instead of the proposed 4,500 spaces which are adequate only to the year 2005." Mr. Van <br />Gelder discussed the BART parking. It was approved to change the 6,000 parking spaces to <br />4,500 spaces. <br /> <br />Planning Commission Minutes <br /> <br />Page 9 <br /> <br />May 6, 1996 <br />
