Commission Arkin inquired if a rental service could be made available on-site for people who would like to try the sport before investing in all the needed equipment. Mr. Fulford responded that he had not heard of this but agreed that was a great idea. Commission Arkin requested that staff look into this service for possibly one Saturday a month. In response to Commissioner Fox's question regazding if the riders will ride back to the start of the track, Mr. Fulford answered there would be a definite path going back to the start. He stated that there would be signs on the bike path and farther west on Stanley Boulevard in the current Stanley Boulevard bike lane, warning bicyclist of existing cars and bikes. Commissioner Fox inquired if the signs in the park would have the emergency phone number to East Bay Regional Pazk District Police. Mr. Fulford answered that they would not. He explained that because the City leased the land, the park would be under the jurisdiction of the Pleasanton Police Department. Ms. Nerland advised that East Bay Regional Park did not want to police the park and that the Pleasanton Police Department would be the first respondent. Commissioner Fox inquired if a neighbor should call police if a motorized skateboard or scooter was on the track. Mr. Fulford advised a call to the Pleasanton Police would be in order. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. Cindy McGovern, 9206 Longview Drive, stated that the park had been in the Youth Master Plan and a goal of the Youth Master Plan Implementation Committee. She noted that the children were very excited about this park and hoped the commission would vote for approval. She mentioned that the bicycle shops in Pleasanton might be interested in providing a demonstration day to get more children interested in the sport. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. Commissioner Arkin moved to make the required conditional use findings as listed in the staff report and to approve PCUP-117/PDR-390 as conditioned in the staff report, with the additional conditions that (1) the proposed landscaping of a portion of the Stanley Boulevard median along the project frontage be included in the project scope and be installed to the greatest extent feasible as funding for the project permits; (2) the City explore the possibility of offering equipment rentals one day a month to individuals desiring to try out the BMX park. Ms. Nerland clarified that the second condition would be a direction to staff and not a condition of approval. Commissioner Maas seconded the motion, without the second condition.
