qy$~s""~°y CITY of PLEASANTON <br />~ -~i . <br />.~ <br />'~~-~° Planning Commission <br />~1.MfV S <br />MINUTES ~OF REGULAR MEETING. <br />DGt@ : October 24 , 1972 <br />Time : 3:0o P.M. <br />PIaC@; Conference Room - City Hall <br />the Commissioners that in the holding <br />up of this application in order to <br />accommodate the procedural require- <br />ment imposed by the Environmental <br />Quality Act, the Commission is not <br />jeopardizing a worthwhile project. <br />Chairman Pons then verified from <br />Mr. Hirst that in his opinion an <br />extension could be granted to <br />Pleasanton Greens?

There is no way to prejudge <br />the finding of the Council in view <br />of the fact this was not the sort of <br />project or application that was <br />excepted or exempted in the Interim <br />Guidelines adopted by Council a week <br />or ten days ago. <br />Mr. Levy acknowledged that he is <br />familiar with the Supreme Court <br />ruling, but is totally confused with <br />the position taken by the City <br />Attorney. It seemed to him the City <br />is "putting the cart before the <br />horse" and confusing jurisdictional <br />approaches. Granted that prior to <br />-4- <br />
