~8A~~° CITY of PLEAS 4y~ y ANION \ ~,~ • `~'~~~` Planning Commission w ao MINUTES ~OF REGULAR METING. DG18 : February 13, 1975 Time : 8: oo P.M. PIOCB; Pleasanton Justice Court which requires the lower density designation on sloping lots. Commissioner Butler conceded there is a bad traffic situation and that the citizens' concerns are valid. How- ever, it is not necessarily an appro- priate point to be brought out at the point of zoning. He feels it is a concern, however, which should be kept in mind. 'Acting Chairman McLain agreed with the Secretary's position, but where does one draw the line? He is very concerned when Planning Commission deals with any rezoning, especially after it is still so fresh in their minds from the General Plan review where the members dealt with down zoning of land to reach a level of holding capacity that the City deemed necessary because of environmental impact reasons. And then to get a rezoning to match the recommendations' that are in the General Plan and have opposition come forward. He did not wish to be critical of those who spoke against the recommendation, but he had to wonder where was this same pressure when the General Plan amend- ment process was being gone through to come up with the process now. Considerable discussion ensued. Commissioner Butler stated that it is important to remember that if this property is zoned R-1-6500, it is very likely that the people in the area now opposing the zoning would have the smallest lots in that area. Maybe it would be increasing the lot sizes far beyond what is suitable for the area. It is also his belief that the latest revision in the mas- ter plan, also shows this area in the medium density residential. -8-
