4y~~s"N~°y C TY of PLEASANTON I ,. . g ~~~° Plannin Commission +rr~o s MINUTES ~OF REGULAR MEETING. Date July 22, 1970 Time : ~:3o PM Pla C8; Pleasanton Justice Court The City Attorney was asked to give his interpretation of the "numbers game" which he stated was a question of construction and what the ordinance actually says. Density is figured in accordance with the policy of the City Council. Mr. Richard Pearson, 1656 Orchard Way, and Chairman of the General Plan Review Committe strongly urged approval of the development plan, stating it gives variety, and provides housing for a wider margin of income groups. Mr. Jim Thomas, 3559 Glacier Court South, also a member of the General Plan Review Committee, gave his support in favor of this project, stating it is the type of housing that Pleasanton needs, and is of the type described in the General Plan Review report. He felt the green belt area was adequate and urged the go-ahead on this development. Mr. Victor Bailey, 4565 Black Avenue, approved of the 'salt and pepper' variety development but felt that the best use of the land in this general area should be industrial because of its location along the railroad tracks, and also would present less of a traffic problem. Mr. Keith Wheeler, 4591 Lakewood Street, supports the Four Villages concept of mixed '~ housing, since housing is a critical problem in Pleasanton. This plan does not disrupt the General Plan even with higher density,an~ efficient land use is the most important. Mr. Chuck Seymour, 492 San Gabriel Court, stated there were enough budget problems already and that no compromise should be mad in regard to density. It should be noted that all of the foregoing named gentlemen are members of the General Plan Review Committee. - 2 -
