After further discussion, Resolution 1610 was entered and adopted making the finding that the project would have a significant impact upon the en- vironment due to improper traffic circulation, and that an environmental impact report be prepared for this prezoning application. Roll Call Vote Resolution: Jamieson Seconded: Doherty Ayes: Doherty, Jamieson, Shepherd Noes: Wood and Chairman Butler Absent: None Abstain: None The applicant was advised he could appeal this decision to the City Council within 15 days. Review of the prezoning itself was not heard at this time. RZ-77-20, Lee Slaughter - application to rezone an approximately 3.8 acre parcel of land located immediately west of the Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way and extending from Santa Rita Road southeasterly roughly 1,500 feet (stopping about 225 feet north of Mohr Avenue) from the A (Agricultural) District to the I-P (Industrial Park) District, or any other zoning district that the City finds to be appropriate and in conformance with the General Plan. Secretary Harris stated that the application had been continued from the January 11, 1978, meeting to allow time for the applicant to meet with the property owners regarding an overall development plan. He had heard, how- ever, that agreement between property owners could not be reached. Next, John Corley, attorney for the proponent explained their attempts to meet with Drs. Schlies and Clemetson. Apparently, the doctors are in the process of attempting to convey property ownership of the land back to the original owners, the Eschelbachs. Donald Wyatt, 3185 Gulfstream Street, stated that at the Board of Directors meeting of Pleasanton Meadows Homeowners Association, concerns regarding this rezoning request were discussed. They did not like industrial uses between two residential uses. Another point of concern was the establish- ment of industrial uses and heavier truck traffic in an area across from the City's historic Century House. The homeowners group recommended that the area be placed into the Study District. Next, Bill Vigil, President of Pleasanton Meadows Homeowners Association, spoke. He asked if it was known that a warehouse would be going in there. Secretary Harris stated that no plans had been submitted. Staff remains opposed to the proposed zoning change. Secretary Harris said that either designation of Agricultural or Industrial would be in conformity with the General Plan. The Public Hearing was closed. The Commissioners debated the advantages of rezoning the property to in- dustrial, as opposed to holding the line against further development other than residential. There being no further discussion, Resolution 1611 was entered and adopted recommending to the City Council adoption of RZ-77-20, as petitioned. -4-
