b. Application of the Planning Commission for an amendment to Article 8, "I" Industrial Districts Section 8.106 Underground Utilities Amendment to Article 8, Section 8.106, to require that the requirements of this section pertain to the I-G District as well as the I-P District. (Public Hearing continued from November 13, 1968). Chairman Antonini opened the Public Hearing. Mr. Alan Campbell, Director of Public Works, stated that basically, the requirements for underground utilities were started as amendments to the old Zoning Ordinance and were originally left out on the theory that the I-G District would be different and of a lower standard than the I-P District. Further, the I-G District as defined on the General Plan is readily visible from both Interstates ~k680 and ~k580 and other major thoroughfares. He went on to say that there is no engineering reason for any distinction between the districts, and therefore recommended that Zoning Ordinance No. 520 be amended to include underground utilities for the I-G District as well as the I-P. Upon motion of Commissioner Plato, seconded by Chairman Antonini, and carried, the Public Hearing was closed. Upon motion of Commissioner Garrigan, seconded by Commissioner Plato, and carried, the following resolution was unanimously adopted. RESOLUTION N0. 835 WHEREAS, the application of the Planning Commission to amend Article 8, Sec. 8.106, Underground Utilities, to require that the requirements of this section pertain to the I-G District, as well as the I-P District, has come before this Commission, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Planning Commission of the City of Pleasanton hereby recommends to City Council that Zoning Ordinance No. 520 be amended to require that Article 8, "I" Industrial Districts, Section 8.106, Underground Utilities, apply to the I-G District, as well as the I-P District. 6.
