<br />Commissioner Hovingh noted a report put out by the Planning Commission of Alameda <br />County stating the job/housing balance should include housing prices that reflect the spectrum <br />of wages within an area. He also feels that no project on the SFWD property does not <br />necessarily mean there will be no environmental impact. He asked if the enviornmental <br />impact to the Central Valley will be addressed if no project is developed on the SFWD <br />property. The addition of homes in the Central Valley will take up prime agricultural land, <br />will increase the load on the infrastructure, and will contribute to decreased air quality. <br />Commissioner Hovingh believes this would help reduce the number of people commuting <br />great distances to work, and therefore, it may be worthwhile considering putting this type of <br />housing on the SFWD property. <br /> <br />PUBLIC HEARING WAS RE-OPENED <br /> <br />Bob Cordtz commented about the traffic reports and that 1-680 will be gridlocked with or <br />without a project being built on this site. <br /> <br />PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED <br /> <br />Chairman Wright thanked Mr. Nelson and Ms. Ambrose for their input to the Planning <br />Commission meeting. <br /> <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Hovingh, seconded by Commissioner Lutz, <br />recommending continuing action on Case RZ-94-07 to May 24, 1995. <br /> <br />ROLL CALL VOTE <br /> <br />AYES: <br />NOES: <br />ABSENT: <br />ABSTAIN: <br /> <br />Commissioners Barker, Dove, Hovingh, Lutz, and Chairman Wright <br />None <br />Commissioner McGuirk <br />None <br /> <br />1...
