PUD-91-7, Krabbe-Osi~ki Partnership Application to rezone an approximately .92 acre site located at 7116 Johnson Drive from General Industrial - 40,000 zoning district to the PUD (planned Unit Development) - I1C-O (Industrial/Commercial-Office) District or any other zoning consistent with the General Plan. Mr. Rasmussen presented the staff report recommending approval of Case GP-91-6/PUD-91- 7 subject to the conditions of the staff report. In response to Commissioner Michelotti's question, Mr. Rasmussen replied that the objective is to continue the same type of signage that is currently in place. Commissioner Hovingh noted that he has talked privately with representatives of Prudential and Reynolds and Brown. Discussion ensued as to whether the City has made any commitment to these companies. Commissioner Wright expressed the question whether the City might eventually be "shorted" if the zoning is changed. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. Mr. Osicki introduced Jeff Etnire, 6140 Stoneridge Mall Road, who represented the application. Mr. Etnire stated he is in agreement with staff recommendations and appreciated the work put into the application. He noted that he has met with Mr. Moulthrop and also a representative of Clorox Company who have indicated support for the amendment in zoning. In regard to signage, he concurs with most of the staff recommendations, but felt that it would be more feasible to reserve sign issues until the PUD stage. In regard to Page 5 - Sign Considerations, he felt that Item 1 should be retained; Items 2 and 3 should be deleted. He briefly commented in regard to traffic issues as noted in the North Pleasanton Assessment District. Commissioner McGuirk asked staff for clarification as to Item 3 of Sign Considerations. Mr. Rasmussen clarified that signs for that area would not be allowed any larger than they currently are simply to attract attention from the adjacent freeway. Staff is saying they want low-key signage that is visible from the freeway, but not obtrusive. Commissioner Michelotti stressed that she certainly would not want to see anything like Val Strough signage. Further discussion ensued as to appropriate signage for that area. Mr. Etnire returned to the podium. He advised that it would be difficult to make a decision in regard to signage before any buildings are put up at that location. ~ Minutes Planning Commission Meeting October 23, 1991 Page 3 .. .
