page 10 Minutes Planning Commission GP-81-9, City of Pleasanton Application of the City of Pleasanton to amend the General Plan land use designation of several properties on the west side of Martin Avenue between Mohr Avenue and the Arroyo Mocho and an approximately 45 acre site east of Martin Avenue immediately south of the Arroyo Mocho from "Medium Density Residential" and "Sand and Gravel Harvesting" to "Low Density Residential" or to any other land use designation deemed appropriate by the City, A negative declaration of environmental impacts will also be considered. Mr. Harris explained the staff report. He stated that the Thorpe property to the east should have been changed to Medium Density Residential and that Kaiser Sand and Gravel has no intention of harvesting the property and it's residential land use should have been shown as Medium Density on the Plan. He recommended that the Planning Commission consider the Thorpe property. He said the staff also looked at the property south of Mohr Avenue as well (the DeVor Nursery and the Busch 107 acre parcel). He stated Kaiser is attempting to purchase the eastern portion of the Busch property. Commissioner Wilson indicated he would like to continue this matter to January and consider all of the property in the area including Thorpe's and Kaiser's land use designation. He says he goes back to Commissioner Doherty's previous recommendations in that he would like to see some 22-5 acre sites in the area and he thinks we should take a hard look at the matter as this will probably be the last time the City will have a chance to have this type of land use. Commissioner Doherty said there is no problem in looking at the DeVor and Busch property as well as others. Commissioner Wilson referred to a letter from Kaiser Sand and Gravel regarding the preserving of the mining property on the east side of Martin Avenue. Mr. Harris indicated that south of the Thorpe property there will be sand and gravel harvesting. Commissioner Wilson said he would like to see ~ map of the entire area showing the properties owners and acreages in a large scale, perhaps 3'x4'. Commissioner Doherty asked if there were any other sites out there which should be considered. Mr. Harris responded that the Molinaro's property as well as the Kamp property are the only properties for which no plans have been indicated, but that south of the Thorpe property there will be harvesting. Karin Mohr said the .annexations are not yet back £rom LAFGO and that Dick Karn did talk to her about some of these properties as being included in reclamation and that the entire chunk will be one of a chain of lakes. Commissioner Wilson said this is all the more reason to continue this matter.
