anyone else. He address. traffic concerns onto Sar~~a Rita Road. He asked what the. mechanism would be to enforce the hours of operation and truck travel and that if there is no mechanism available to enforce the regulations, he could see no point in adding restrictions as conditions of approval. Mr. Pearson recommended that the business park have an owners association similar to that of condominiums for maintenance of the project. Commissioner Getty addressed Mr. Pearson stating that when some of the missing links are completed downtown, circulation will be different downtown and the effect might not be so great concerning increased traffic. Mr. Pearson stated that El Charro has to be opened to handle the traffic and that if projects are approved without it, it will create a bad situation. He stated the City can put pressure on this if they want to. Commissioner Geppert stated that when people moved near Santa Rita Road they knew it would carry through traffic. He stated those families living there had to know just by looking at the width of the street if nothing else. Mr. Van De Roovaart rebutted statements made in opposition to the project. The public hearing was closed. Commissioner Geppert asked how the enforcement would be handled concerning restrictions and conditions placed on the proposed project. Mr. Harris stated that most restrictions are handled when complaints are received. Commissioner Geppert then stated that CC&R's can't be enforced by the police department. Commissioner Jamieson said he had assumed landscaping was going to be put in on the outset of the project and that it may be years before the park is completed along Kolln and that he would like to see at least the west land- scaping done at the outset of the project. He also asked if the name of the park was going to remain 'Pleasanton Business Community'. Mr. Van De Roovaart stated it was not. Commissioner Getty stated she was concerned about barren property with no landscaping. Commissioner Jamieson stated at least the planting of trees and having the berms would be desirable. Mr. Harris stated he would recommend landscaping the 30' wide Valley and west side berms and that they be put in completely at time of initial devel- opment. A motion was made by Commissioner Jamieson, seconded by Commissioner Getty certifying that the EIR was completed in compliance with CEQA and State Guidelines; that the Commission has reviewed and considered the information in the EIR; and found that the project would have significant adverse impacts on the environment pertaining to traffic safety at the Valley Avenue/"A" Drive intersection visual and accoustical screening of uses on the site from surrounding uses and water conservation but that recommended conditions of approval of case PUD-80-1 would reduce those impacts to an insignificant level but that there are two significant adverse impacts of case PUD-80-1 which are not mitigatable (traffic increase on Valley Avenue and impact on Valley Avenue-Santa Rita Road intersection) but that there are overriding social and economic considerations (more local jobs) which make infeasible all mitigation measures identified in the EIR and that the EIR be adopted for this project. -10-
