PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES JULY 26, 1979 (continued) Commissioner Jamieson stated he felt information should be received from Cal Trans regarding the completion of the I-580 Interchange. Chairman Doherty asked if staff could get information from Cal Trans before design review hearings on this application. Mr. Harris advised it could be obtained before that time. Commissioner Geppert stated he felt this public hearing should be continued until information from Cal Trans could be received regarding what short and long range plans they have for the interchange and overpass; direct the applicant to have a traffic study of the area completed; and take a look at putting in a viable bike lane. He stated he felt that with this information the Commission could determine if a traffic signal would be needed soon and if a further directed Environmental Impact Report is needed. Commissioner Jamieson stated he would prefer to wait on a traffic study as he felt it would be theoretical until this project is completed. Mr. Harris stated a traffic study would provide us with more information than we have at present and it would be helpful. After discussion, it was moved by Commissioner Geppert and seconded by Commissioner Getty to reopen the public hE.aring on UP-79-14 and continue the item to the Planning Commission meeting of August 8, 1979, 7:30pm, Fairgrounds Cafeteria, for a decision after receiving additional information. ROLL CALL VOTE AYES: Commissioners Geppert, Getty, Jamieson, Wilson and Chairman Doherty NOES: None ABSENT: None GP-79-6, Alfred Fromm and the City of Pleasanton Application to change the General Plan land use designation on the area bounded by I-680 to the Arroyo del Valle, the extension of Valley Avenue and Bernal Avenue from A (Agricultural and Grazing) to (Industrial and Commercial) District. A negative declaration of environmental impacts will also be considered. Mr. Harris presented the staff report dated July 26, 1979. He requested that certain changes be made to conditions 3, 5 and 9 and that 6 be deleted. The public hearing was opened. Mr. Irvine Loube, attorney, representing Alfred Fromm, stated his client concurred with the staff report with the exception of Condition 461 - that case GP-79-6 does not become effective until the subject property has been annexed to the City. He stated he would like to reserve the right to contest this condition to review further. Commissioner Jamieson asked about the possibility of obtaining the land of the City and County of San Francisco in this annexation. Mr. Loube stated he felt their chances were good of getting this land and that negotiations were being discussed at this time. Richard Frisbee, Environmental Center, presented and reviewed exhibits, schematic and site plans showing the planning of the area, landscaping, periferal treatment and open space, frontage road along the creek, preservation of trees, type of buildings and the street system internally. He stated these were basic concepts and were flexible. -8-
