biological analysis should be peer-reviewed, that the Initial Study/Negative Declaration is in- adequate, and that the project should be reviewed under an Environmental Impact Report. Chair Brian Arkin stated that he could not support the motion due to his concern about the ade- quacy of the biotic survey and that a site survey had been done in the middle of winter. He was concerned about the cumulative effect of the Busch project, currently being built. He would like to see this project continued until after the Busch project is finished. He would like a peer- reviewed biological survey on such a significant project. Chair Arkin's comments are analyzed in the "DISCUSSION" section of the staff report. Recommendation The Planning Commission closed the public hearing and voted 4-1 (Chair Arkin in opposition) to forward the proposal to the City Council with a recommendation for approval with the fol- lowing modifications: · Modify Condition No.4 to allow only single-story homes on Lots 4 through 10 adjoining the Palmer Drive properties, on Lots 18 through 22 adjoining the Leuthauser and Diablo Court properties, and possibly on Lots 25 and 26. · Modify Condition No. 21 to include the eastern project boundary in the installation of the seven-foot tall masonry wall and to discuss the possibility of using a wood fence in place of a masonry wall, depending on each property. · Modify the first sentence of Condition No. 28 to read as follows: "The project developer shall survey the heights of the structures to verify their general conformance,to the ap- proved building height." · Modify Condition No. 34 by adding to the first disclosure that the Zone 7 lake is a re- claimed Kaiser quarry pit and to include a disclosure warning that the noise generated from Livermore Airport is a mix of business jet and small aircraft operations; that the Livermore Airport operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and that the City of Liver- more has proposed an expansion of Livermore Airport. · Modify Condition No. 33 to include electrical conduit and pull strings for the photo- voltaic readiness.
