RZ-79-17, Ponderosa Homes Application of Ponderosa Homes and Pleasanton Development Group to rezone two parcels of land totalling approximately 9.8 acres located at the northwest corner of Paseo Santa Cruz and Valley Avenue from the RM-15 (Multi-family Residential) District to the R-1-6500 (Single- Family Residential) District. The Planning Commission may recommend any zoning for the property consistent with the General Plan. A negative declaration of environmental impacts will also be con- sidered. Mr. Harris presented the staff report and indicated that this rezoning would bring the property into conformance with the General Plan. The public hearing was opened. Joe.Calabrigo, 10 Crow Canyon Court, San Ramon, representing Land Use for the property owner urged approval of the rezoning. He stated that the staff and applicant had believed it was rezoned previously but determined this was not the case. He said he has spoken to the City Attorney and he has been assured by him that the property owner has the right to transfer sewer connec- tions to other parties and wanted this confirmed so that there are no problems down the road. The public hearing was closed. Commissioner Wilson asked the applicant the size of the lots. Mr. Harris reviewed the size of the lots for the existing Ponderosa development and others in the area. Commissioner Wilson asked if this project would contribute to the improvements of Valley Avenue. Mr. Harris said they would be required to improve a small portion and that the major portion would be done by the developers of the Mackay property at the southwest corner of Hansen and Valley Avenue which also has RAP approval. A motion was then made by Commissioner Lindsey, seconded by Com- missioner Doherty that the mitigated negative declaration prepared for case RZ-79-17 be considered as a negative declaration and that this negative declaration be recommended for adoption inasmuch as the rezoning of this property as proposed will have no significant effect on the environment.
