Minutes <br />Planning Commission <br />April 8, 1987 <br />projects for Pleasanton to assure that the supply will meet the <br />demand. <br />REVISIONS AND OMISSIONS TO THE MINUTES <br />Mr. Swift asked that PUD-87-2, Harbor View Investment, Inc., and <br />PUD-87-5, Stoneson be continued to April 22, 1987. The Planning <br />Commission unanimously agreed to these continuances. <br />MATTERS INITIATED BY COMMISSION MEMBERS <br />Commissioner Berger: <br />A-frame sign <br />Mission Plaza Shopping Center, at Santa Rita Road (Swenson's Ice <br />Cream) has a very unattractive a-frame sign facing Santa Rita <br />Road. Commissioner Berger asked staff to check into this. <br />Mr. Swift said staff will check into this situation and have <br />staff ask that the sign be removed. <br />Commissioner Michelotti: <br />Growth Management Polices <br />Concern was expressed regarding growth management policies. The <br />General Plan Residential Committee recommended 250-260 units per <br />year be approved and this recommendation was adopted by Council <br />based on the City's ability to provide infrastructure and City <br />services. Exemptions do not count in the total number of units <br />being approved each year. It is difficult for her to consider <br />upcoming projects when the recently approved and units under <br />consideration at the current time equal 1500 units. If the <br />purpose of affordable housing is to consider projects as quickly <br />as possible, then it becomes more and more difficult for her to <br />consider projects when their number is not taken into <br />consideration. <br />Chairman Lindsey asked Commissioner Michelotti if it is her <br />intent to clarify exemptions under the General Plan by first <br />having a joint session of the Planning Commission and City <br />Council. Commissioner Michelotti said that is her intent. If <br />supported by the other Commissioners, she would recommend that a <br />joint session between the Planning Commission, City Council and <br />staff be held prior to any final action being taken on current <br />projects which are are seeking Growth Management exemption. This <br />does not mean this would put a delay on any project to be heard <br />tonight. It is her feeling that the projects under consideration <br />should go forward as under the current General Plan. <br />Commissioner Michelotti would like Planning Commission to make a <br />recommendation to the City Council. <br />Chairman Lindsey - clarified that Commissioner Michelotti is <br />asking the Commission to support City Council reconsideration of <br />the Growth Management Program exemption program under the General <br />Plan in a joint session of the Planning Commission, staff and <br />City Council. Commissioner Hoyt commented that low income <br />- 2 - <br />
