PLANNING COMMISSION <br />3/23/83 <br />Page 4 <br />REVISIONS AND OMISSIONS TO THE AGENDA <br />Mr. Harris explained that Item 5a should be continued to <br />4/13/83 at the request of the City Attorney. <br />OLD BUSINESS - Public Hearings <br />GP-83-1, Cit of Pleasanton <br />App ication o the City o Pleasanton to amend the growth <br />management element of the Pleasanton General Plan with respect <br />to the issue of achieving a balance among land uses. The <br />Planning Commission may recommend any action on this matter <br />deemed in the public interest. <br />This matter was continued to 4/13/83. <br />NEW BUSINESS - Public Hearings <br />AP-83-4, City Council <br />Appea o a minor modification of case PUD-81-32 for a 61 unit <br />townhouse development on the north side of Vineyard Avenue <br />opposite Amador Court having to do with reorientation of units, <br />increase in size of units and minor architectural changes. <br />Mr. Harris presented the staff report. <br />Commissioner Wilson asked if we are still talking about 61 units. <br />The staff affirmed this. <br />Commissioner Doherty asked why City Council appealed the <br />decision of staff. Mr. Harris stated he wasn't sure and that <br />it was appealed by Council Member Brandes. Commissioner Doherty <br />said he has no problem with the proposed changes and felt that <br />when an item is appealed by someone, they should have the <br />courage of their convictions and at least come before the City <br />Council or Planning Commission as the case may be and state <br />their case. Commissioner Jamieson pointed out that this has <br />never been done in the past when an appeal has been made by a <br />Council Member. Commissioner Doherty indicated then that it is <br />about time it is done. <br />Chairperson Lindsey asked if the appeal would go to City Council <br />after being heard by the Planning Commission. Mr. Harris said <br />it would. <br />Commissioner Doherty felt this matter should go to Council without <br />comment from the Commission until they indicate what their <br />concerns are if it would pose no hardship to the applicant for <br />a continuance. Commissioner Wilson concurred but also dial not <br />want to inconvenience the applicant. <br />The public hearing was opened. <br />
