~ MATl'ERS CONTINUED FOR DECISION ~- s...a. n. n in n il- In, . General Pian Amendment for the Pleasant on Rideelands f r w Mr. Swift presented the staff report, and provided an update on the actions taken by the General Plan Steering Committee at its July 26 meeting, noting that the Committee supported the "Land Use Agreement," with minor modifications. He also no that on Tuesday evening the City of Hayward approved the "Land Use Agreement" d the General Plan Amendment, with some minor changes. In response to questions from Commissioners, Mr. Swift clarified at if the City of Hayward detaches property and the owners to not want to be annex to the City of Pleasanton, they will be under the jurisdiction of Alameda County. Commissioner Mahern asked if there would be any benefit to inclu e a time frame for the Agreement. Mr. Swift responded that Hayward has already approv the Agreement and the General Plan policies, but that a time frame could be added. In response to questions from Commissioner Michelotti, Mr. Swift Agreement keeps the jurisdictions from amending General Plan ch ges within the Ridgelands area within their city limits and keeps them from expan ing the sphere-of- influence, without the other jurisdictions' approval. The Commission discussed the impact that the Council-sponsored in tiative would have with regard to Measure M, options for the recommended boundary pro sal, and implications of a density transfer policy. Commissioner Hovingh noted that he felt there were still two unkn ns related to this issue, those being the final court decision with regard to LAFCQ's ruling, and what action will be taken by Alameda County. mE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. Marie Cronin, 8989 Dublin Canyon Road, distributed an exhibit sh wing the location of her family's property. She asked that this property be excluded from General Plan Amendment and the Ridgelands Area study, and that it not be inclu ed in any plan going to the voters. She noted that she was not opposed to having her prope annexed to Pleasanton, as long as it was clear as to what they are "buying into." Commissioner Mahern questioned whether the County would be able to provide services fo Mrs. Cronin's property. Mrs. Cronin responded that she was not in a position to begin plans for development, as there are too many unknowns at this time. In response to Commiss oner Michelotti's question as to whether Mrs. Cronin would be open to looking at a c nservation easement on the back of her property in exchange for development on the front art, Mrs. Cronin advised that she was not sure how a conservation easement might impact he property.
