T
<br />of 335 Christina Court, also spoke in opposition to the proposal. Mr, Beratlis
<br />said that eight off-street parking spaces are proposed. Mrs. Elizabeth Hall, who
<br />resides directly in front of the proposed property, at 3950 Vineyard Avenue, spoke
<br />in favor of the proposal, stating that any type of residential development tauld
<br />be an improvP$ent, and the subject property is not suitable for a single-family
<br />dwelling, There being no further comments from the audience, it was moved by
<br />Commissioner Antonini, seconded by Commissioner Lozano, and carried, that the
<br />public hearing be closed. Mr. Fales, is giving the staff report, explained that
<br />R-2 is not apartment house zoning, and also that access to public facilities,
<br />including streets, cannot be denied to any property owner or owners. If R-2
<br />zoning were granted, two duplexes totalling four dwelling units could preatmiably
<br />be built. A Variance for frontage width would be required, The subject lot ie
<br />16,000 square feet, whereas lots on Christina Court are 6,000 and 6,500 square feet;
<br />therefore, it seems unreasonable to demand that the subject lot should develop in
<br />the same manner, There are 18 houses on Christina Court now; if this property
<br />were rezoned to R-2 and two duplexes constructed, the net result would be 22
<br />dwelling units. The additional traffic can be handled by this street, and off-
<br />street parking requirements for duplex dwellings are two for each unit. The
<br />reservoir is an attractive nuisance, and a problem to the City. The staff
<br />recommends the property be rezoned from R-1 to R-2. After considerable discussion
<br />by the Commission, upon motion of Commissioner Lozano, seconded by Commissioner
<br />Antonini, the following resolution was adopted by the following vote: AYES:
<br />Commissioners Antonini, Lozano,Rega and Chairman Landon; NOES: Commissioner
<br />Johnston; ABSENT: None.
<br />BESOLUTION NO 320
<br />WHEREAS, the application of C. Beratlis, 550 Main Street, Pleasanton, for an
<br />amendment to Ord. No. 309 rezoning the property located at
<br />366 Christina Court from the R-1 to the R-2 District, has come before this
<br />Commission;
<br />NOW, THEREFORE, BH IT RESOLVED, that the above-named application for
<br />rezoning be denied.
<br />Chairman Landon opened the public hearing on the application of John Takers,
<br />Route 1, Box 442, Pleasanton, for an amendment to Ord. No, 309 rezoning a parcel of
<br />property located at 219 Division Street, from the R-1 to the R-G District. Mr.
<br />Takena was present in the audience, and Mr, Art Pritchard, repreaentiag Harmony
<br />Homes, spoke on behalf of the applicant. Mr. Falea, in giving the staff report,
<br />stated that because the subject area is now designated on the City's current
<br />General Plan as part of the Central Business District, and because the thinking of
<br />the Pleasanton Area General Plan Citizens Committee indicates this area as Central
<br />Business District in the new General Plan, the staff recommends against this
<br />application for rezoning to R-G. A memorandum from the City Manager to the
<br />Planning Commission dated May 11, 1964, recommended rezoning of the general area
<br />surrounded by Ray, First and Main Streets (within which the subject parcel lies) to
<br />the C-C District. After discussion by the Commission, upon motion of Commissioner
<br />Raga, eecoaded by Commissioner Antonini, the following resolution was adopted by
<br />unanimous vote:

<br />Commission;
<br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
<br />RESOLVED, that the City Planning Commission does hereby recommend for approval
<br />by the City Council that Ordinance No. 309 be amended to rezone
<br />the property located at 219 Division Street from the R-1 to the C-C District
<br />rather than to the R-G District as requested by the applicant.
<br />Chairman Landon opened the public hearing on the application of the Plamting
<br />Commission for an amendment to Ord. No. 309 rezoning certain parcels of property
<br />within the area surrounded by Ray Street, Main Street and First Street, from the
<br />R-1, RG-15, C-G and C-T Districts to the C-C District. There being no comments
