ROLL CALL VOTE Ayes.: Commissioners Doherty, Jamieson, Lindsey and Chairperson Getty Noes..: None Absent: Commissioner Wilson Resolution No. 2062 was then entered and adopted recommending PUD-Medium Density zoning for case RZ-81-15 as motioned. RZ-81-13, City of Pleasanton Application of the City of Pleasanton to rezone (Annexation No. 88) an approximately 20 acre site located on the north side of Vineyard Avenue immediately east of the Hacienda Mobile Home Park to PUD-Medium Density Residential (Planned Unit Development) District or to any other zoning district consistent with the General Plan. Mr. Harris explained the staff report and that the property was pre- viously prezoned with three conditions and that the property owner asked City Council to initiate another prezoning removing the mobile home park stipulation. The public hearing was opened. Bill Hirst, 147 Bernal Avenue, represented the property owner, stating it is premature at this point to impose this condition now. Chairperson Getty asked if the City imposed the same conditions on other developers. Mr. Harris stated the "Pico Avenue extension" con- dition was imposed on the Hacienda 5 acre site. Commissioner Lindsey pointed out that most of the projects which have come before the Planning Commission have the "extension of Pico Avenue" condition but that City Council has reversed this recommendation many times. Commissioner Doherty said he would like to go back to the prezoning and he understands the applicant's thought in this restriction on mobile home parks. He said he still has to go back to where they came from when the Planning Commission made that recommendation. He said if there are to be any snore mobile home park sites than what we have known exist in the City of Pleasanton or lands immediately adjacent to it, it would seem to him a logical place. to put it would be where there are some existing already and going back to talking about 'affordable', (whatever that is) housing again, he believes the City is talking about bonds to fund and everything else, some people can still get into mobile homes - and, why we go out and do this when we find only a few sites that are suitable, he doesn't know. He said if this change is made, it would preclude a chance of putting mobile homes out there in his opinion. He feels very strongly about this and has for some time.....and, here is another case where theywere overriden, though he is sure with the best of intentions and he is wondering how much thought was put into it. He indicated he is hearing a lot of .sanctimonious statements about affordable housing and asked where des.r pet~ple, where'? -,.r_,...__ _.._ _.. _ . __ .
