Mayor Frank Brandes, spoke as a representative of the Del Prado Cabana Club. He stated the Club supports this General Plan Amendment. He suggested that the commercial property be considered in the near future for a General Plan Amendment. He stated the property owners were told originally garden court homes would go in that area and not apartments. Commissioner Wilson stated he would be more favorable to this General Plan Amendment if the City Council would come out with a policy concerning the ratio of multiples to single family residential which was more realistic than 75$-25~ as set forth in the General Plan. Mayor Brandes concurred that the 75~-25~ is not appropriate in his opinion. He indicated he would take this matter to City Council. Dick Striegle, Toups Corporation, 1243 Alpine, Walnut Creek, spoke repre- senting the applicant. He stated they concur with the staff report and would be happy to answer any questions. Chairman Jamieson asked Mr. Striegle what they would propose to do with zoning. Mr. Striegle stated they have not come up with a definite decision but would consider R-1-6500 possibly. William Moffitt, 6582 Via San Blas asked for an explanation of the terms used in the General Plan and the City's zoning. Commissioner Geppert explained. Marvin Murphy, 6668 Via San Blas, spoke in opposition to multiple units and, therefore, is in favor of the proposed General Plan Amendment. John Wilhoit, 6559 Via San Blas spoke in favor of the General Plan Amendment and inquired as to whether or not single-family residences were assured. Commissioner Doherty explained. Chairman Jamieson stated sewer connections have been a consideration in the past and that is probably why this area still has undeveloped land--open fields. The public hearing was closed. Commissioner Wilson then inquired whether or not Mackay was advised con- cerning zoning of the commercial property. Mr. Harris said no, but that this matter is not being considered under this application and that the commercial (Mackay) matter would have to be a separate action and application. Commissioner Geppert then made a motion that the findings could be made for approval of the negative declaration. Commissioner Wilson stated he didn't feel the findings could be made concerning insignificant impacts. He stated that with regard to the General Plan, the impacts are significant. Com- missioner Doherty seconded Commissioner Geppert's motion. Resolution No. 1721 was then entered and adopted recommending approval of the Negative Declaration filed under GP-79-7.
