In response to an inquiry by Ms. Stem regarding ideas to be included in the Vision and <br />Principles, Commissioner Roberts stated that she did not want to touch the controversial <br />Housing Element. <br /> <br />Commissioner Blank suggested the larger vision of"A great place to live, work, and <br />play" be expanded by language following that paragraph. <br /> <br />Commissioner Fox suggested using the term "employment" instead of "job," and delete <br />the word "visitors" from "opportunities and high-quality housing for residents and <br />visitors." She suggested striking the following language: "Where new development <br />blends successfully into existing neighborhoods." She agreed with the City of Pasadena's <br />language which supported "the tradition of citizen activism dedicated to preserving <br />quality of life. Participation will be a permanent part of achieving a greater city." She <br />supported adding citizen participation as a separate bullet. <br /> <br />Commissioner Roberts suggested changing the language referenced by Commissioner <br />Fox to "A variety of attractive neighborhoods with housing of various types of densities." <br /> <br />Commissioner Arkin was unsure whether this sort of visioning process was generally <br />useful in practical application. <br /> <br />Commissioner Blank believed there should be a crux of that vision that people could <br />express and access easily. <br /> <br />Commissioner Arkin supported Commissioner Blank's characterization of Pleasanton as <br />"A great place to live, work and play." <br /> <br />No action was taken. <br /> <br />a.
