Nr;,,utes of the Continued Planning Commission Meeting of 8/27/86 Held on 9/3/86 relating to 'Individual Parcel Land Use Designations Proposed Under General Plan Alternatives.' Chairman Lindsey indicated that each proposal described therein would be discussed by the property owner/representative, the public and the Commission. Chairman Lindsey asked staff to address the issues. Chandler Lee, Principal Planner, reviewed the three maps on the wall. Each parcel was looked at in three different ways as shown thereon. Chairman Lindsey asked about the origin of the reference to 670' elevation and 25 percent slope. Mr. Lee stated that the recommendations for these numbers originated with the Residential Review Committee. The Committee recognized there was developable property on the ridge and suggested the colors shown in green would remain Public Health and Safety with the land less than 670 feet in elevation and less than 25 percent slope would be Rural Density Residential (1 unit per 5 acres) which would encourage clustering on the ridge. It was recognized that 95% of the homes existing on the ridge are at an elevation of less than 670 feet (thus the criteria evolved). The Committee felt it important to keep a general rule in mind. It was felt that the line could be adjusted based on an individual parcel review. Commissioner Innes asked if this means the line could be moved up and down. Mr. Lee said the line is meant to be a general one. Public hearing was opened. 2A - Ferreri Mr. Lee reviewed the General Plan proposal: 25 acres total with LDR (23.6 acres) and PH&S (1.4 acres) allowing a holding capacity of up to 46 housing units. Mr. Lee indicated there are traffic concerns relating to development of this property with a higher density. Commissioner Wellman asked if there isn't any further mitigation measures to be taken at the intersection of Foothill and Dublin Canyon Roads. Mr. Lee said the property owner would have to come in with more site specific traffic studies. John Ferreri, 865 Abbie Street, reviewed the location of the parcel for the Commission. He felt this property did not have the same characteristics as other properties on Foothill Road where Low Density Residential is preferred. They desire to build an affordable housing project which can be purchased by people who work in Pleasanton. This would reduce the amount of traffic overall in the area as well as that on the freeways. They desire to build 280 units with a sales price range of from $95-$125,000. Further, Mr. Ferreri noted that they have proven themselves in their development of Valley Plaza Villages I and II, Mission Plaza, Plaza Profession offices, Black Avenue Offices and the Nob Hill shopping center site. These developments are locally owned and operated. Mr. Ferreri did not feel the property to be a typical Foothill Road low density property because it adjoins I-580 on one side, and has a hill on the back side.
