RZ-81-17, City of Pleasanton Application of the City of Pleasanton to prezone (Annexation No. 91) an approximately 35 acre site located on the west side of Martin Avenue at its intersection with Mohr Avenue to any zoning district consistent with the General Plan. A negative declaration of environmental impacts will also be considered. Mr. Harris reviewed the staff report. There were no questions of the staff. The public hearing was opened.

Dean Wagerman, 2333 Martin Avenue, one of the property owners inquired about Low and Medium Density. Mr. Harris explained the categories. Mr. Wagerman requested that the property be prezoned for approximately 20,000 sq. ft. He stated 40,000 sq. ft. would be awkward. Commissioner Doherty stated this is one of the areas he feels, outside of the Castlewood area, which could be used for large lot sub- division and that nothing under 20,000 sq. ft. would be appropriate for the area. He stated the City needs lots for large and small homes and that this area should be held for the larger ones. Mr. Wagerman reiterated it becomes difficult to maintain large lots. Commissioner Wilson stated he agrees with Commissioner Doherty and if the owners are taking into consideration putting in the cost of improve- ments for streets, the only thing he can see is an assessment district for the entire area. Mr. Warnick stated that the assumption is certainly correct, 20,000 sq. ft. lots would cost considerably more than 10,000 sq. ft. because you have the same improvements along the street as you would have with the larger lots. -4- _. ,. ~.. .
