with that matter. Mr. Swift said he would have to check into the issue as he is not sure if Counci1 has taken a position. 7. Commissioner Hovingh questioned the advisability of issuing more building permits while existing residents are being asked to absorb the brunt of conserving water. He suggested it might be feasible to curtail the issuance of building permits until it is ascertained whether mandatory water rationing will take place in Pleasanton. He felt the public might be getting a poor perception of what the Planning commission process is all about if they continue to approve the issuance of building permits. The Commission agreed they would like to discuss the matter further before taking any action as to curtailing the issuance of permits. Mr. swift said it would be better if the first discussion of the issue take place at the joint meeting planned for March 11 between the Design Review, Planning Commission, and city Council. That would give staff time to develop rules that could potentially apply. OLD BUSINESS - PUBLIC HEARINGS PUD-90-19.
