Commissioner Blank noted that he would not support discussing current litigation because the resolution is not yet known. Page 14-13 Commissioner Olson inquired why the paragraph regarding tax revenues at the bottom of the page was removed and if other jurisdictions also made the same decision. Ms. Stern replied that none of the other jurisdictions included it in their General Plans; Pleasanton was the only one and sharing the revenues is not something that the City is currently contemplating. Pleasanton spends a lot of time attracting uses that will help fund City services and the Economic Vitality Committee has been discussing this as a potential goal. Commissioner Olson believed the City should protect its fiscal health and credit rating and understood that it was a fiscal decision. Ms. Stern said that impacts from the development that creates this revenue should also be considered. There are traffic and public safety that need to be provided for; costs as well as benefits need to be considered. It would be a very complicated formula to come up with this region-wide and to come up with agreement on how to break these issues out. Goal 1 (Location and Intensity of Urban Development) Page 14-15 Commissioner Blank inquired whether Program 1.4 regarding development outside city limits had been implemented. Ms. Stern replied that it had not, and that is the reason it is still being considered; no agreement has been arrived at to date. Commissioner Blank noted that this goal had been in the document for ten years and that no progress had been made. He inquired whether it should be retained for the future. He believes that we should have realistic goals, policies, and programs. Ms. Stern stated that the City coordinates outside its jurisdiction. She added that the City has informally implemented this policy, but no agreement has been made. She noted that the General Plan is coming up with an implementation strategy and that staff will set up a matrix for all policies to include who is responsible and what the priority level is. By doing that as part of the General Plan, the City will be able to keep track of the programs. Commissioner Blank inquired whether the wording could be strengthened. He suggested searching the General Plan for every instance of the word "agreement," document it, and call it out for the City Council to prioritize. Commissioner Blank inquired why Program 1.7 was removed. Ms. Stern replied that it states that the General Plan land-use designations should be revised based on the inventory of land uses located in the subregion. She noted that this is already being done as part of our land use map and the General Plan update. EXCERPTS: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, March 14, 2007 Page 6 of 8
