MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION November 21, 1983 Page 5 Park and Recreation Commissioner Bruno felt there was a need for Open Space in downtown and Peters Avenue is probably the only place one could go. He felt serious consideration should be given to it before it is to late to do so. Park and Recreation Commissioner Oliverius said a children's play area would be fenced in so that children would not be running into the street. She said there are not a lot of teenagers in the area as it is an older neighborhood. Once open space is lost it is gone forever. She encouraged a park in the area. Chairman Jamieson thanked the Park and Recreation Commissioners for their input. PUD-81-30, Prudential Ins. Co. of America and Callahan-Pentz Properties Application of the Prudential Insurance Co. of America and Callahan-Pentz Proeprties for a Development Agreement for a 573 acre "business park" to include approximately 23 net acres of "garden" offices, 62 net acres of general offices, 50 net acres of "mid-rise" offices, 47 net acres of industrial/warehousing 273 net acres of research and development/light manufacturing, and 38 acres of retail commercial/financial development with the remaining approximately 80 acres to be used for street and flood channel right-of-way purposes, to be located on the east side of Hopyard Road between the Arroyo Mocho and a point approximately 1400 feet south of I-580 and extending east to the tracks of the Southern r'acific Transportation Company. An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) has been prepared for this project and copies are available for review at the Planning Division, 200 Bernal Avenue, Pleasanton, California, and at the Pleasanton Library, 4333 Black Avenue. Mr. Harris explained the reason for the development agreement which is to protect the uses, intensity and density of the approved plan. He indicated this is used in conjunction with large, phased projects. Chairman Jamieson asked if this agreement is similar to the one granted to Kaiser. Mr. Harris said the agreements for Prudential and Callahan-Pentz are different. Mr. Swift said that the agreement used for Taubman is a short form version of a development agreement and just looked at assuring the two large department store pads and the hospital could build on their sites in future years. Mr. MacDonald reviewed particular sections of the agreement with the Commission (Sections 1.3 and 1.4, page 11). He wanted the developer to understand that the PUD might allow a five-story structure but under certain circumstances the Design Review Board or City Council might approve a three or four story structure. He indicated the City will still be able to enforce mitigation measures, but would be unable to change the PUD. -5- ~.. n. _ __ _ _ _ .. __ __ _, _ _. .
