James Paxson, Hacienda Pazk, noted that the issue of the sign had been raised at the <br />previous night's workshop and noted that the azches were an identifying feature of the <br />gateway. He noted that he was comfortable with the changes requested by PeopleSoft <br />and that they fit within the Business Park guidelines. He noted that when Prudential sold <br />the property, the sign went with it. He had suggested to the City that Hacienda Park take <br />over the landscaping maintenance along the freeway frontage in exchange for the City <br />taking over landscaping along Hopyard and Santa Rita Roads. <br />Chairperson Roberts noted that it had been difficult to work with CalTrans to improve the <br />landscaping by the freeway frontage. <br />Mr. Paxson noted that they intended to work out the difference between North Pleasanton <br />Improvement District (NPID) and CalTrans with respect to the maintenance and that they <br />would be happy to do what they could. <br />THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. <br />Commissioner Sullivan noted that it was appropriate that the sign say "PeopleSoft" and <br />expressed concern about the appearance of the gateway. He noted that a "Hacienda" sign <br />has become an identifying feature of the City, and did not believe that a 93-foot sign <br />would be something he could support if the sign was new. He would like to see a smaller <br />sign that was more in scale, and noted that he would support the appeal. <br />Chairperson Roberts did not believe the sign was out of proportion with the other signs <br />which were quite large. She believed that the business park would have a lazge sign if <br />permitted by CalTrans and added that PeopleSoft was located on a large campus. <br />Commissioner Arkin noted that PeopleSoft had been a good neighbor in the community <br />and supported their sign. <br />Commissioner Maas moved to deny the appeal, Case PAP-63, thereby upholding the <br />Zoning Administrator's approval of Case PSDR-182. <br />Commissioner Roberts seconded the motion. <br />ROLL CALL VOTE <br />AYES: Commissioners Arkin, Maas, and Roberts. <br />NOES: Commissioner Sullivan. <br />ABSTAIN: None. <br />ABSENT: Commissioners Fox and Kameny. <br />Resolution No. PC-2004-32 was entered and adopted as motioned. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES May 12, 2004 Page 11 of 14 <br />
