PLANNING COMMISSION <br />3/23/83 <br />Page 2 <br />currently in San Jose and in Sacramento such facilities have <br />been used. <br />Commissioner Doherty asked if there is a specific site in <br />mind concerning this proposal. Mr. Victor stated that they <br />have looked at the area of Sunol and Sonoma for such a use <br />but that they have not established a definite property. <br />Commissioner Doherty stated he is not sure he would agree to <br />change the zoning to accommodate this use as he would like <br />to first see the proposal of a specific site.
