- or not. AB 2702 eliminated some of the more objectionable issues raised by last year's bill but had some issues that staff felt were important to bring to the Planning Commission's attention: 1. Clarifying the design review issue and the administrative hearings; 2. AB 2702 would prohibit a requirement that one of the units be owner-occupied; 3. The bill would allow on-street parking to count towards the parking requirement; and 4. The issue of school property being used for residential uses. Ms. Nerland noted that staff was unsure what this bill was attempting to accomplish, and it seemed that the school districts would still be able to circumvent the planning process. Commissioner Sullivan noted that he agreed with the draft letter. Commissioner Fox suggested that the Pleasanton Unified School District be copied on the letter. Commissioner Arkin moved to approve the language in the draft -etter as presented and to authorize Chairperson Roberts to sign it. Commissioner Sullivan seconded the motion. ROLL CALL VOTE AYES: Commissioners Arkin, Fox, Roberts, and Sullivan. NOES: None. ABSTAIN: None. ABSENT: Commissioners Kameny and Maas. The motion passed. b. Agendizing Assembly Bills that may be of interest to the Commission. Ms. Nerland noted that the City is a member of the League of California Cities, which normally acts as a lobbyist on behalf of individual cities. Occasionally, an issue may come up that would require attention by the City itself when time may be insufficient to get three votes to agendize the issue. Staff suggested that a streamlined process be initiated where staff may agendize the issue administratively. Chairperson Roberts moved that staff place appropriate time-sensitive State bills on the agenda for consideration by the Planning Commission. Commissioner Arkin seconded the motion. Commissioner Sullivan inquired whether an individual Commissioner may place a time-critical Assembly Bill on the agenda. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES Apri128, 2004 Page 13 of 16
