for the 3-acre minimum is that no specific development plans have been submitted by any of the property owners previously mentioned. We feel that the 3-acre minimum should qualify most industrial developments wanting to locate in the area. We further would advise the Commission, as we have advised same of the property owners, that it is not the intent of this department to hold any of these properties in question Co the 3-acre minimum; that if and when precise development plane are submitted by the respective land owners, that the zoning, ae such, could vary from the I-G 20,000 aq.ft, minimum to the 3-acre minimum or larger if such request is made at that time. The properties which consist of the Oakland Latter Day Saints and the J. A. Nielsen Properties, we are recommending that those properties be recommended for the I-P, Planned Industrial District. Zn regard to the remaining properties, which consist of Park View Land Company, J. & J. Nevis, J. Lima and those properties which front on both sides of Tassajara Road, this department feels that at this time we would prefer to retain the properties in an agricultural district. For the most part, the smaller parcels which front on both sides of Tassajara, will probably be used in the same manner as the properties that they are adjacent to, either commercial or multi- ple residences. We have further a request from Mr. William H. Gale, Jr., representing the Lima-Nevis property fronting on Santa Rita Road and they have requested that their property be retained in the agricultural zone since this will be the use of the property until it is sold, probably within the next year or so. This department would concur with that request, since we also have specific studies to make in regard to the future realignment of the Tassajara Creek. At this time, it is not known whether such realignment is feasible. If it isn't, then the Tassajara Creek and the Southern Pacific Railroad should definitely create a physical barrier for the properties in question and from the further expansion of industrial land into those two subject properties. The San Ramon Village Company representative, Mr. Bob Brown, requested a two-acre minimum for those parcels fronting on Hopyard Road. The Co~iasion felt that with the exception of those lots fronting on Hopyard, the remaining land of the San Ramon Village Company should be recommended as 3-acre minimum, and if and when development plane are finalized and submitted, then recommendation to split the properties as they want it should be made at that time. The Planning Director noted that there is no provision for 2-acre minimum sites at this time but that the 1-acre minimum could be combined to create 2-acre minimum lots. Mr. Brown stated that he represents Hopyard Investment Company, Freeway Industrial Invest- ment Company, Qualified Investments, Inc., and ESI Investment Company. Mr. Brown further stated that this company is in agreement with everything except the 3-acre minimum lot size fronting on Hopyard Road. Mr.''.Brown advised the Commission that in 1966 they received tentative map approval for 2-acre parcels on Hopyard and southerly on Highway 50, from Alameda County. Mr. Brown also advised the Commission that hie company currently has an offer from an industrial developer for 2-acre lots. It would cause hardship to them to have 3-acre lots apply at this time. There is no problem in combining the acreage to make 2-acre sites. This was the opinion of the Planning Commission. Mr. Ted Slosek, 490 Pinehill Lane (T. H. Zeanah) objected. He stated that approxi- mately two years ago, he approached the City with the request to annex that portion of the City in time. He recalled that after a City survey, certain homeowners in the arc?a`wera-not interested, but Slosek went ahead and purchased said parcel as commercial zoning. One pertinent fact he pointed out was that following eatabliehment of zoning in the area approximately a year ago, the City proceeded to establish new width lines for street widening. The Tassajara alignment was programmed for widening to some six lanes, consequently, about 30 percent of Mr. Sloaek's property was reserved or "confiscated" by the City. Mr. Castro explained where other property was also zoned for commercial use, which was a cabinet shop known as the Roae property. It was motioned that the Public Hearing be closed. Commissioner Gibbs remarked that it seemed this property should be given con- sideration in light of its history. Commissioner Plato stated that the Commission may give consideration to T. H. Zeanah's request. It was further pointed out that this parcel surrounding Tassajara was zoned "A" and nothing can be done until these people have something specific for their parcels, at which time they can apply for zoning of their property. RESOLUTION N0. 795 WHEREAS, Application of the Planning Commission for an amendment to Ordinance No. 520 to consider the final zoning for those properties described within Annexation ~k56. Said annexation containing approximately 1,828 scree, has come before this Commission,
