<br />DRAFT <br /> <br />reserved for their particular needs and were concerned about the impact on the facility itself that <br />would be caused by other sporting activities. <br /> <br />Commissioner Fox suggested an all-weather field that could be shared. <br /> <br />Mr. Fairfield noted that the City Sports Council receives great participation from all the sports. <br />With the exception of dedicated soccer fields at Val Vista, every sports park in Pleasanton has <br />shared fields. Because the fields are becoming so impacted, the seasons are running together, <br />resulting in scheduling difficulties. <br /> <br />Conunissioner Maas did not support field-sharing. <br /> <br />The Conunissioners wanted to have the potential for shared use of the soccer stadium explored. <br /> <br />Commissioner Maas moved to recommend that the City Council: (1) certify the Final EIR <br />as complete and adequate; (2) approve: the CEQA Findings and Statement of Overriding <br />Considerations, (b) the Bernal Property Phase II Specific Plan, subject to certain changes <br />specified in Exhibit D ofthe staff report, and (c) the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting <br />Plan; and (3) approve the Bernal Community Park Master Plan. The Commission also <br />directed staffto forward the Commission's straw vote recommendations to the Council. <br />Commissioner Roberts seconded the motion <br /> <br />Chairperson Arkin believed the concept of an EIR for a park was an academic exercise, <br />particularly when contrasted with 3,500 homes that at one time had been anticipated for the <br />Bernal Property. <br /> <br />ROLL CALL VOTE: <br /> <br />AYES: <br />NOES: <br />ABSTAIN: <br />RECUSED: <br />ABSENT: <br /> <br />Conunissioners Arkin, Fox, Maas, Pearce, and Roberts. <br />None. <br />None. <br />None. <br />Commissioner Blank. <br /> <br />Resolutions Nos.
