MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION 6/13/84 Page 7 ROLL CALL VOTE AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ABSTAIN: Commissioners Getty, Commissioner Lindsey None Chairman Doherty Innes, and Wilson Resolution No. 2479 was entered and adopted approving Tract 5134 as motioned. GP-84-1, City of Pleasanton Application of the City of Pleasanton to amend the Land Use and Circulation Element of the General Plan to eliminate West Las Positas Boulevard as an arterial east of Santa Rita Road and to extend Stoneridge Drive from Santa Rita Road to E1 Charro Road, and to change the land use designation of the western approximately 50 acres of the 156+ acre County owned " Staples Ranch" located at the southwest quadrant of the intersection of I-580 and E1 Charro Road from "General and Limited Industrial" to "Medium Density Residential." The Planning Commission may recommend any action on this application deemed in the public interest. A negative declaration of environmental impacts will also be considered. Mr. Harris presented the staff report and reviewed the history of the application. Mr. Harris indicated that 400 people were notified of this hearing and that one person in the Mohr-Martin area thought the matter should be continued because tonight is graduation. The staff recommends that the Planning Commission open the public hearing, take testimony, and continue the matter for the completion of the North Pleasanton Improvement District Draft Environmental Impact Report (NPIDDIEIR). Commissioner Wilson asked about unbuilt Las Positas, north and south, consisting of one tier, he indicated some people would want landscaping such as that which Kaiser, Rhodes and Jamieson have. Mr. Harris indicated that the Industrial General Plan Review Committee had reviewed the Staples Ranch. Commissioner Innes had concern with staff calling the ranch 160 acres while the Industrial General Plan review Committee call it 180. Mr. Harris explained that Mr. Oakes has a 23 acre piece of the property and that the actual assessor's parcel map shows the Staples ranch to be 156 acres. He said that the City's consultant would be considering the 100+ acres on the eastern end of the Staples ranch. This is a result of input from the Industrial General Plan Review Committee. Commissioner Innes stated that when the General Plan Review Committee studied this matter, it was considered to be 180 acres, and a recommendation was made that the 20 acres to the west of E1 Charro be industrial and that the 160 acres be medium and high density residential. If that recommendation was to take effect, one might want West Las Positas to go further to the East. Staff feels consideration of the western 50 acres only could be an interim solution. Commissioner Innes felt that perhaps if the 50 acres went to residential a bad traffic situation would result. Mr. Harris indicated that with 100 acres of high density residential, West Las Positas would have to be wider than 60 feet.
