Items 6, T, 8 and 9 Joe Callahan, Callahan, Pentz spoke, representing Prudential et al concerning Hacienda Business Park. Mr. Callahan supported the staff recommendations concerning High Density Zoning of a portion of the proposed business park. He said they initiated the North Pleasanton Traffic Studies that were generated and efforts have been aimed to attempt to cover all of the property with regard to maximizing mitigation measures of the various developers of the area. He said they have met with Caltrans concerning this interchange. He said they will come in with a PUD application similar to that of Meyer and Reynolds and Brown and urged approval of case GP-81-1 as submitted and exclude Items 6, 7, 8 and 9 of GP-80-8. Commissioner Doherty asked Mr. Callahan if he wanted Item #6 held in abeyance for traffic studies. Mr. Callahan said yes he did. Mr. Callahan said that concerning 7, 8 and 9 he doesn't feel that High Density Residential is appropriate for a business park like that being proposed. Bruce Bird, addressed Item #6, 7, 8 and 21 asking that they be held until all studies concerning them are in. Commissioner Lindsey asked (Item #7) if the North Pleasanton Traffic Studies are taking the proposed High Density Residential into consi- deration. Mr. Harris said they have not been. Item #10 Arnold Lenk, Tam Investment, spoke addressing the EIR relating to noise. He said that at the time he applied for site plan approval, they addressed that concern and worked with the building sites themselves to reduce the possibility of noise that might be developed from them. He itemized the measures taken previously, i.e. soundwall, large 25 ft. landscape buffer, etc. to reduce concerns expressed. He said the wall was raised to 7 ft. to mitigate noise. He said he concurred with Item #10 as proposed by the land use com- mittee and staff recommendation. Ron Posebon, 3808 Longspur Way, said the residents should have a buffer between commercial and residential properties. He said Tam has not complied. He expressed concerns with traffic congestion at the inter- section of Valley and Hopyard Road, traffic from the bank branch which was never addressed. He said approving the change for the Tam pro- perty would encourage problems. He said the P-I zoning allows uses which are governed by conditional use permits allowing input of the neighbors. Vice Chairperson Getty said that the Land Use Review Committee was trying to just get an "Office" designation, but that the General Plan has one category "Commercial and Offices." It was explained that if the General Plan is changed, a zoning application would need to be initiated by the applicant for the O (Office) District; eliminating the commercial designation in this manner. -8- ,. .... .__ __._ ___._ T._ ,_.
