4~~~s"N~~y CITY of PLEASANTON '~/ . ~ 4 ~~~~t Planning Commission ~MMtO ~ MINUTES ~OF REGULAR MEETING. DGte ; MaY 9, 1972 Time ; 8:25 PM PIaCB; Pleasa nton Justice Court Commissioner Wood expressed the feeling that! he would not want to stand in the way of industrial or commercial progress, but still felt that service station approvals should be taken individually (per Council's direc- tive) and very slowly. Felt that the loca- tion is a good one. Commissioner Pereira spoke next. He indicat~ that there has been quite a period of time t evaluate service stations. The Planning Commission did decide as a matter of policy that each application would have to be accept and evaluated on a subjective fashion to determine need and timing. In checking out this site per the guidelines established, he noted that there is nothing going north on Hopyard to ~~580, without having somehow to make a turn into the Shell station on West Las Positas and Hopyard. This maneuver is not always feasible. Commissioner Hirst felt that with the full improvement of Valley Avenue and no new stations being added this location would be a prime one. It is also located in a pre- planned area. He felt this location is far preferable to having a station at Black and Hopyard or Black and Santa Rita. Vice Chairman Pons disagreed with the opinioi of the other Commissioners. He did not feel the City needed another service station at this time. His recommendation was for denia: A resolution was then offered by Chairman Pereira, seconded by Commissioner Wood to reverse their previous denial and approve UP-71-10. With the exception of a dissent vote from Vice Chairman Pons, and an absen vote from the Chairman, the other Commissi supported this resolution. d rs -6-
