Resolution No. 2181 was then entered and adopted recommending approval of case PUD-81-36, as amended, per the staff report dated 6/24/82. RZ-81-17, City of Pleasanton Application of the City of Pleasanton to prezone (Annexation No. 91) an approximately 35 acre site located immediately northwest of the intersection of Martin and Mohr Avenues to the PUD (Planned Unit Development)-Low Density Residential District or to any other zoning district consistent with the General Plan. Mr. Harris presented the staff report stating this property should have a zone on it when it comes into the City. He explained that this property had been recommended previously for zoning by the Planning Commission but that the City Council had set the matter aside for a General Plan amendment and review of the entire area. He said the property now has a land use designation of Low Density Residential and should be prezoned or rezoned accordingly. Commissioner Wilson then asked Mr. Harris to describe the zoning for the surrounding areas. Mr. Harris complied. Commissioner Doherty then brought up the size of the lots for the area and said he would support zoning if there was an absolute minimum of 20,000 sq. ft. requirement for lot size. The public hearing was opened. Dean Wagerman, 2333 Martin Avenue, spoke stating he represented the seven property owners. He didn't want to be restricted to 20,000 sq. ft. should a lot come up 19,000+ after laying out a plan. Commissioner Wilson indicated he thought Mr. Doherty asked for a minimum of 20,000 sq. ft. and not an average. Chairperson Lindsey said it is the Commission's desire to protect future owners of property in the area. Albert Weimken, Trenery Drive, addressed the Commission. He presented a letter for the records posing questions concerning the density. He urged the Planning Commission to at least have a preliminary plan in front of them prior to zoning the property. He said the property is owned by many owners and stated it would be very difficult to get all seven to agree on a plan. He asked the location of proposed streets and asked if the City has the right to condemn any of the properties for this. Commissioner Jamieson indicated that the concerns of Mr. Weimken are well taken and should be addressed. Mr. Harris stated nothing will happen unless there is a development plan. He said the staff would encourage a development plan appli- cation signed by all property owners. He said it is possible that perhaps one wouldn't want to sign but that the staff would attempt to encourage signatures by all parcel owners. -5-
