He would prefer that the landscaping <br />plan be reviewed by the Design Review Board. Mr. Swift explained <br />that several ideas were discussed, but landscaping was not part <br />of the contractor's plans. At one point the reservoir was going <br />to be screened by pine trees but this idea was discarded. There <br />is no irrigation for landscaping on the site. The color of the <br />tank did not come out as expected. Chairman Wilson asked <br />Commissioner Innes if he would be satisfied if Mr. Swift came <br />back to the Commission with a report. Commissioner Innes <br />indicated that if the staff can come up with a quick solution at <br />the next meeting, he would not call it up for public hearing. <br />PUD-85-10, Hopyard Partners <br />Application of Hopyard Partners for Planned Unit <br />Development-Central Commercial rezoning and development plan <br />approval to construct a 7,350 sq. ft. day care facility, an 8,000 <br />sq. ft. commercial office building and additional parking area <br />(over the Pleasanton Canal) north and east of an existing <br />shopping center located at the northeast corner of Valley <br />Avenue and Hopyard Road (Hopyard Village).

Zoning for the property is IG <br />(General Industrial) District. <br />Mr. Swift asked if Cases UP-85-19 and Z-85-176 could be discussed <br />at the same time with separate action for each application. The <br />Commission agreed to this request. <br />Mr. Swift stated that staff had concern with the material of the <br />structure and the land concerning dust. It is his understanding <br />now that the Planning staff has worked with the applicants and <br />reached agreement as to what can be done with the building <br />itself.
