Minutes Planning Commission August 13, 1986 PUD 86-9, City of Pleasanton Application of the City of Pleasanton for rezoning from "A" (Agricultural) and CS (Commercial Service) to PUD (Planned Unit Development)-High Density Residential District; and development plan approval to construct a 220-unit senior citizens residential complex to be located on an approximately 9.2 acre site located generally in the area west of tat thelsoutherncterminuseofoOldern Pacific Transportation Company Bernal Avenue. Mr. Swift presented the staff report recommending approval of this application. The public hearing was opened. Tim Truesdale, Eden Housing, presented the proposed project. He indicated the plan proposed is a result of many meetings with the City including the citizens' committee, senior citizens and others. Commissioner Wellman asked if there would be a swimming pool. Mr. Truesdale responded that at a recent senior citizens meeting, a swimming pool appeared to be less than 50% favorable. A spa/Jacuzzi is being considered to be installed in a community building facing out into the open space. Discussion relating to the kitchen area then ensued between Commissioners Innes, Wellman and Mr. Truesdale. Mr. Truesdale commented that the dining facility will adequately accommodate 240 people. George Ivalich, architect, presented the site plan, elevations and related documents for the benefit of the Commission and audience. Vice Chairman Innes expressed concern with the dining area perhaps not being large enough because even though meals will be served in two sittings, often times persons from the first sitting visit with persons from the second sitting. Vice Chairman Innes also had concerns with seniors living in the cottage units which means they would have a greater distance to travel to the kitchen area than residents of the larger complex, and part of that distance is uncovered. Mr. Truesdale indicated that in many insteC~e~o i°veerathergindependentlygandnperhapsld be persons who el wouldn't use the kitchen facilities. Mr. Truesdale indicated the details as to how many meals will be served per day and the cost will be determined later. In the past in many developments HUD required mandatory participation in the cost of the meals. They cannot, however, do this any longer. The Pleasanton Committee didn't want meals to be a mandatory requirement for this development. Mr. Ivalich stated that one needs a base commitment in order to assure the price to tenants. If the number of meals is less than 150, the price becomes substantially higher than it would be otherwise. - 8 - _ ~. T .
