<br />of
<br />T`.'E PLAiVxF,*?& COMMISSION
<br />Pl~ssnnton, California
<br />March 10, 1965
<br />The regularly scheduled meeting of the Planning Commission was called to order at
<br />8:00 P,M., on Wednesday, March 10, 1965, by Chairman Landon.
<br />ROLL CALL showed the following:
<br />Present: Commissioners Antonini
<br />Johnston
<br />Lozano
<br />Rega
<br />Chairman Landon
<br />Secretary Falea
<br />Upon motion of Commissioner Lozano, seconded by Commissioner Antonini, the minutes
<br />of the meeting of February 24, 1965, were approved ae presented by unanimous vote.
<br />Chairman Landon opened the public hearing on the application of Pleasanton Mills,
<br />Inc., P.O. Box 397, Pleasanton, fora Variance from Section 4.500, Ord. No. 309,
<br />in order to construct a mill and storage building with less than the required
<br />side yard setback near the intersection of Mohr and Oakland Avenues, in an A Dist-
<br />rict. Mr. Fales, in giving the staff report, said a Conditional Use Permit had
<br />been granted by the Commission on November 12, 1964, in order to construct a grain
<br />storage facility adjacent to the then existing mill. Subsequent to the approval
<br />of this application a fire destroyed all of the existing buildings on the site. A
<br />Variance ie requested for lot area (required: 5 scree; proposed: 2~ acres), side
<br />yard, and height (proposed: 60 ft.; maximum: 30 ft.; the proposed height is 20 ft.
<br />less than the original structure destroyed by fire). The staff sees no objection
<br />to a Variance being granted with regasd to height. With regard to side yard and
<br />reduced Brea, the presence of the adjacent railroad and the 100-ft, wide railroad
<br />right-of-way obviates the necessity for the normal aide yard setback and creates
<br />considerable open area surrounding Che mill itself. Mr. Douglas was present in
<br />the audience and clarified the height problem, and requested a 25-year time limit
<br />rather than 15 years because of increased cost of construction--$125,000-$150,000
<br />which would have to be written off in 15 years if such time limit is imposed. It
<br />was moved by Commissioner Johnston, seconded by Commissioner Antonini, and carried,
<br />that the public hearing be closed. Mr. Falea stated that because considerable
<br />development 1s expected in the surrounding area in the next five years, the staff
<br />considers the time limit of fifteen years, previously imposed by the Commission in
<br />the Conditional Use Permit, to be adequate. Following discussion by the Commission,
<br />upon motion of Commissioner Antonini, seconded by Commissioner Lozano, the follow-
<br />ing resolution was adopted by unanimous vote:
<br />RESOLUTION N0. 400
<br />WHEREAS, the application of Pleasanton Mills, Inc., P.O. Box 397,
<br />Pleasanton, for a Variance from the let area, building
<br />height and side yard requirements of Ord. No. 309 in order to con-
<br />struct a mill and storage buildings on a cite near the intersection
<br />of Mohr and Oakland Avenues, in an A District, has come before this
<br />Commission;
<br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
<br />RESOLVED, that the above-named Variance is hereby granted.
<br />Chairman Landon opened the public hearing on the application of Pleasanton Mills,
<br />Inc., P.O. Box 397, Pleasanton, for a Conditional Uae Permit in order to construct
<br />a mill and storage buildings near the intersection of Mohr and Oakland Avenues,
<br />in an A District. Mr. Falea referred to the staff report given above with regard
<br />to the Variance application on the subject property, and also those staff reports
<br />with regard to Conditional Uae Permit No. 64-21, granted on November 12, 1964.
<br />The staff recommends a 15 year time limit. It was moved by Commissioner Lozano,
<br />seconded by Commissioner Antonini, and carried, that the public hearing be closed.
