appreciable effect on the traffic problems confronting that street. Although it is not the total solution, it is a step in the right direction.

GP-76-5, Planning Commission - application for a general plan amendment to change the land use designation of approximately 6.5 acres of land from "Public and Institutional" to "General and Limited Industrial." The property is located between Sunol Boulevard and a line parallel to Sunol Boulevard approximately 600 feet east of Sunol Boulevard and extends approximately 250 feet north and south of Sonoma Drive. Secretary Harris explained that this property was initially shown as Industrial Park lands, however, this site has been subject to several studies but staff never could come up with a better suggestion for land use than what is allowed under the I-P Zoning District. When the General Plan was amended and approved, the designation was changed to Public and Institutional making it more or less a holding zone. Now, this application for an electronics venture has been applied for, and because of its research and development nature, would give it more of the character of an office use which would be quite compatible with the area and staff is not hesitant to recommend amendment of the General Plan. Later, staff may study this area in the hope of specifi- cally planning the area. Commissioner Jamieson wondered how this would affect the available options if the area is to develop along industrial park uses. The Public Hearing was opened. Mr. Jack Bras, architect for the job, spoke for the applicant. The Public Hearing was then closed. Commissioner Wood had questions regarding legal timing of this amend- ment and the other applications for variance, design review, etc., for the applicants. It was the general consensus of opinion among the Commissioners that this added industry would provide jobs and they would want to move as expeditious,~as possible on the matter.
