Commissioner Tnlood reaffirmed his position that encouragement should be given to maintain office uses within the downtown area. He felt there could be problems with allowing smaller office sizes in an industrial complex. Perhaps the Chamber of Commerce might reaffirm its position and offer some direction to the Planning Commission. Commissioner Doherty indicated he would need more time to think about this request. Chairman Butler instructed staff to place this matter on the agenda as a regularly scheduled item for the next meeting. REVISIONS AND OMISSIONS TO THE AGENDA Secretary Harris asked to add Item 7d - Conflict of Interest Code review to the agenda. Item 10a, Review of Alameda County Referral of the 1290th Zoning Unit,, application of Joseph Madden to rezone 7.65 acres on Stanley Boulevard The staff had received a request from the applicant to continue this item to allow him time to do research on traffic engineering. Mr. Bill Hirst, local attorney, spoke for Mr. Madden and explained that the traffic engineering figures were not available. The applicant will be acceding to staff recommendation for annexation of the property to the City, but right now, he has not had sufficient time to evaluate his position. Additionally, the applicant has requested a continuance of this matter before the County Planning Commission but there are no guarantees the County will abide by their request. After further discussion, the Commissioners decided to go along with Mr. Madden's request, and a motion was entered and adopted continuing this referral review until April 13, 1977.
