Planning Commission June 13, 1979 Page 4 R-79-05, City of Pleasanton Application of the City of Pleasanton to prezone a 37 acre area located along Stanley Blvd. between Main Street and the First Street-Stanley Boulevard roadway to the R-1-20,000 (Single-Family Residential) District (generally the westernmost 17.5 acres) and the C-S (Service Commercial) District (generally the eastern 19.5 acres) or any other zoning district consistent with the General Plan. A neg declaration of environmental impacts will also be considered. Mr. Harris explained the staff report. Commissioner Geppert discussed and inquired about how wide the right of way is which is zoned R-1-20,000. Mr. Harris referred to the map and explained. Commissioner Jamieson inquired about the smallest lot. The public hearing was opened. Earl Augusta, 3693 Stanley Blvd. spoke commending the staff for their work. He stated he accepts the staff report and offered some comments with regard to prezoning concerning the General Plan as it relates to Commercial Services. Mr. Harris explained. Mr. Augusta stated that if a General Plan Amendment is necessary, he requests a fee waiver be part of the annexation agreement. In answer to Commissioner Doherty's question, Mr. Augusta stated he prefers R-1-20,000 for his property. Mr. Augusta stated he would like commitments made to him in writing with regard to septic tanks as Planning Commission and staff changes from time to time and he wants sewers and other public improvement proposals at no cost to the residents. Commissioner Jamieson asked Mr. Alan Campbell if the City could make a written commitment concerning no costs for sidewalks, curbs and gutters, etc. Mr. Campbell stated any commitments would have to be made by City Council. (Councilman Wood left and Mayor Brandes arrived). Commissioner Wilson referred to ~~10 and 411 of the Initial Study and asked if the intention of the City was to wait until the property is developed before requiring utilities. Mr. Campbell stated the utilities would wait for development. Mr. Campbell stated sewer and connection fees are the main concern and the City's past position has been residents were not normally required to connect or pay costs, but that wouldn't guaranty anything in the future. In answer to Commissioner Wilson's question, Mr. Campbell stated if the properties were sold they would require improvements, if they were developed. Mr. Augusta stated if the sewer was a reasonable distance from his property he would be willing to connect but if it were a long distance that would be unreasonable. Mr. Augusta then stated again he preferred R-1-20,000 for his property. Amos Jones, 4023 Stanley Blvd. spoke stating that he was told that if they were to go with the City the cost would be pennies. He stated the sewer currently is in front of Molinaro's property. Joe Madden, 3851 Vineyard Avenue spoke commenting on the project as it relates to his property only. He stated he agrees with the staff report and wishes his property to remain "A". The public hearing was closed. The Planning Commissioners discussed the General Plan for commercial and residential uses and whether or not the zonings would conform to the General Plan. Mr. Harris explained alternatives available. He addressed the railroad and the possible track consolidation. Commissioner Wilson made a motion, which was seconded by Commissioner Getty
