MATTERS FOR COMMISSION'S REVIE~J Review of City of Oakland's Game Room Ordinance Mr. Harris presented the staff report which highlighted segments of the City of Oakland's Game Room Ordinance for the Commission's review and comments to City Council. After Planning Commission discussion, Commissioner Jamieson indicated concerns with 1000 and 300 foot distances as not being sufficient (they should be greater); and 7:00 a.m. is too early. He suggested the hours be 9:00 a.m.-11:00 p.m. Commissioner Lindsey asked how the ordinance is working in Oakland. Mr. Harris indicated he only knows what he has read in the newspapers that the merchants have objected to the hours of use by age and that it would be very hard to control. Commissioner Doherty indicated that some areas have had bad experiences, but that electronic games are enjoyed by the young and old alike. He indicated that he was concerned with Oakland's exemption, i.e. food centers such as the Straw Hat. He said Pleasanton should be ready for this as this is a big profit maker and that we better be ready to have something to govern it when it comes to town. Commissioner Jamieson said an ordinance should probably be initiated by Pleasanton. Commissioner Doherty said this is a perogative of the City Council and not the Planning Commission. Mr. Harris said the Pleasanton City Council merely wanted the Planning Commission's comments with regard to the ordinance of the City of Oakland as a matter of courtesy to Mr. Excell. Tentative Map Tract 4827 Application o Chang Su-O Lin for an extension of the approved tentative map for Tract 4827 (Linvale). Mr. Harris presented the staff report stating that the extension date should read from March 11, 1982 and not as shown on that report. Ted Fairfield, representing the applicant, stated they agree with the staff report as amended by Mr. Harris. He said this extension request is really just a safeguard inasmuch as they may have the final map filed by March 11 but just wanted to ensure no expiration would take place if they didn't make the date. A motion was made by Commissioner Jamieson, seconded by Commissioner Lindsey that Tentative Map Tract 4827 be extended per the conditions of the staff report dated 1/2/82 amending the extension date to read March 11, 1982. -11- ..... _... __.. .. _._ _... . , .._ _.........r._......_., .. ......... _. ._.._ .... .... _..w__,_.. _...._...,_. ... .. ,.,_.._ _._.......... ... _...... .__,.._ . ..
