I MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION 10/26/83 Page 21 Commissioner Lindsey spoke to concerns relating to unplanned and uncontrolled growth. He said nothing could be farther from the truth. Controls have been implemented to assure this community will not become another San Jose. He felt one could plan for 20 years. Commissioner Getty felt it was unfortunate that many people who raised serious concerns earlier in the evening were not present a t the end of the meeting to hear the answers to their concerns. One of the things that bothered Commissioner Getty is when someone tries to tell people where they can live and work. She felt the development should proceed and the City should try to make the community as balanced as possible but without the restriction of telling everyone where they should live and work. Chairman Jamieson felt the EIR prepared was one of the most complete he has ever seen in his eight year tenure on the Planning Commission. He felt it was inevitable that growth would take place on the property in which Hacienda Business Park is located. Many years ago while on the industrial committee of the Chamber of Commerce they tried to attract industry to the City without avail. It is now a pleasure to see such a fine project in the community. Commissioner Wilson said that after reviewing the EIR draft with reference to alternatives that can be considered - no project, Tri-Valley employement center and increased residential capacity, residential community and reduced intensity in development he did not agree with any of those alternatives. Chairman Jamieson discussed the return to the City and people of the City in the way of taxes. The City will get a return on the sales tax of one building along of approximately $700,000 per year. Things like this can certainly improve the quality of life in the City. Commissioner Wilson liked the thought of revenue to the City which might be greater than the City can spend because of Proposition No. 4. A motion was made by Commissioner Doherty, seconded by Commissioner Getty that the Planning Commission has read and reviewed the EIR and find it complete and adequate for the Growth Management Element amendment as filed under case GP-83-1. ROLL CALL VOTE AYES: Commissioners and Chairman NOES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None Doherty, Getty, Lindsey, Wilson Jamieson Resolution No. 2379 was entered and adopted on the EIR as it relates to case GP-83-1 as motioned. -21-
