DGte : November 10, 1970 Time : 8:35 PM FIaCe; Pleasanton Justice Court A Mr. McLeod, owner of property on the west side of Foothill Road facing the property in question, wished to know when Castlewood Enterprises originally requested the rezoning This occurred about six years ago and it was specifically stated then that development would be accomplished in series over a period of years. Further discussion followec regarding the ramifications of this situa- tion. A point was made clear to the audience that according to the General Plan, by 1990, ,the estimated population slated for the area ~~between West Las Positas Boulevard and Castlewood Drive is 14,500. The area in question which will service this population will run from West Las Positas Boulevard to Castlewood Drive, and from Interstate ~k680 tc the top of the ridge. Chairman Garrigan expressed concern over the City losing any industrial land. He was concerned about the proposed C-F zoning for the Bernal and ~~680 intersection; also he did not like to see any recommendations for prezoning. If a project came to the City and was worthy of merit, it may gain approva: but only if the applicant had a firm commit- ment. This would mea n a loss of industrial land. However, Chairman Garrigan felt the balance of the suggested changes were good. Commissioner Hirst expressed concern for the multiple zoning at Foothill Road and Bernal Avenue. He felt the area to be a highly desirable one, and if it were possibly to maintain that zoning with rural charac- teristics, it would be highly beneficial to the City. Commissioner Hirst also felt that another zoning designation which would be desirable is the Office zoning for high quality professional offices. Perhaps the multiple zoning should be decreased to allow for more Office zoning. - 5 -
