adequate for the Amendment and the rezoning, and revisit the issue of whether it is adequate for a different action. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Roberts, Mr. Iserson confirmed that the original Service and Commercial Zoning was intended for uses similar to Stanley Business Park. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Maas, Mr. Iserson confirmed that the Planning Commission had land use control on the parcel. Ms. Nerland noted that in a Public and Institutional District, all uses are conditionally permitted. There was a grandfathering of uses that were in effect on May 30, l 960, that were declared conforming. Any use initiated aRer that date required a conditional use permit. A discussion of uses allowed under the Public and Institutional District zoning ensued. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED- Mr. Frank Dolj ack, 750 Montevino Drive, noted that the rezoning was viewed as positive because Shadow Cliffs was already there, and because more park and recreation activities were desired. He noted this rezoning request was before the Commission because a particular project was driving it. He believed that some of the statements in the staff report were weak, particularly that the water park and BMX Facilities were not provided elsewhere in Pleasanton. 13e noted that Disneyland did not exist in the City, but did not believe that would be a good use for Pleasanton. He believed that other issues, such as future residential uses and the El Charro Road extension, should be taken into account. He was not sure that rezoning to Parks and Recreation would be appropriate at this time- In response to an inquiry by Chairperson Arkin, Mr. Iserson noted that the permitted uses for Service/Commercial include those similar to Stanley Business Park, such as auto repair, auto painting, construction trades, warehouses, ambulance services, appliance sales and repair, bicycle shops, and boat sales. Ms. Cameron Sullivan, 257 Trenton Circle, inquired how much of the De Silva parcel would be used for the BMX park. Chairperson Arkin replied that two acres would be used. She inquired whether it would be possible partially rezone the parcel so the possibility of California Splash was rxoi a foregone conclusion- Chairperson Arkiti advised that the site was zoned Industrial, and the rezoning would state that the site would be better used for park uses than industrial, and that the California Splash application would need to return to the Planning G'oxrxmission. In response to Ms. Sullivan's inquiry, Chairperson Arkin confirmed that the rezoning would go before the City Council because it was a General Plan Amendment. He believed it was on the July 15, 2002, City Council meeting agenda. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES June 25, 2003 Page 8
