REVISIONS AND OMISSIONS TO THE AGENDA There were several revisions to the agenda which will be noted as they were considered by the Planning Commission. 5. OLD BUSINESS Sa.) RZ-67-14. Planning Commission Chairman Antonini opened the public hearing on the application of the Planning Commission for an amendment to Ordinance No. 309 amending the Zoning Map to zone portions of the area of Annexation 49 to A (Agriculture), R-1 (Single Family) and C-F (Commercial Freeway) Districts. Mr. Castro gave the staff report, stating the Planning Department had made a thorough study of the future need for industrial land. Mr. Castro explained that the property located on the east side of Santa Rita Road designated on the General Plan as industrial or residential could be zoned to another use as there is adequate industrial land planned for the City of Pleasanton. Mr. Castro continued that the exten- sion of a non-conforming use for the E1 Rancho Motel should not be influenced by the annexation agreement which gave to Western Sierra Lumber Company a conditional use permit for 23 years. Mr. Castro concluded with a recommendation that the Commission approve Exhibit "A" land use study, further that the con= ditional use permit for the EL Rancho Motel be considered by the Planning Commission at a later time. Mr. Dudley Frost, representing D & V Builders, presented a proposal for a small portion of his tract to be rezoned from R-1 (residential single family) to multiple family dwellings, thus tying in with the surrounding multiple zoning which had been proposed by the Planning Department. Lee Amaral, representing Mr. Mel Mack of the E1 Rancho Motel, did not concur with Mr. Castro's reason for rezoning the motel to multiple zoning. Mr. Amaral stated that the motel would undoubtedly be allowed to deteriorate towards the end of the conditional use period if it were granted because it would not be feasible to continue to invest money in the motel. Mr. Amaral asked that the motel be zoned commercial, the same zoning it had under the County before being annexed to the City of Pleasanton. Mr. Mack was also present and agreed with the statements made by Mr. Lee Amaral. After further discussion, upon motion of Commissioner Plato, seconded by Chairman Antonini, and carried, the public hearing was closed. The Commission, in general, felt they should not change the commercial zoning the mote: had when annexed to the City to another classification which would make the motel a non-conforming use. Mr. Castro stated that if the motel were spot zoned commercial, the commercial zoning would probably then continue to be practiced on Santa Rita Road. The Commission generally felt that spot zoning had started with the commercial zoning of the Amador Shopping Center. Upon motion of Commissioner i~ri~, seconded by Chairman Antonini, the followingP,esolution was adopted by unani oua vote: ~~~o 1. 6-12-68
