Chairman Landon called upon City Attorney Struthers for a progress report on Che
<br />matter of the enforcement of the Zoning Permit issued to Mr. T,W. Goe. Mr.
<br />Struthere stated the suit has been filed and the order served. Mr. Goe has hired
<br />an attorney, and the matter ie being consolidated for hearing on a temporary in-
<br />junction. There are two causes of actions (1) Violation of the Zoning Permiti
<br />(2) Abatement of a public nuisance, It now appears that it will be contested. The
<br />question for consideration is, can the City require discontinuance of a nonconform-
<br />ing use as a condition to granting of a Zoning Pexmitl Mr, Struthere said he under-
<br />stood Mr. Goe's attorney wants to take depositions of the Planning Commissioners.
<br />He advised the Commissioners, if served with a subpoena requiring a deposition, to
<br />inform Mr. Fales or Mx. Struthere' office, Whether the sign was installed before
<br />or after the subject property was annexed to the City would have some bearing on
<br />the case.
<br />Mr. Campbell presented a request from the staff asking the Commission to approve
<br />a blanket Zoning Permit to cover all off-street parking uses during the Alameda
<br />County Fair, It was moved by Commissioner Wipfli, seconded by Commissioner Rega,
<br />and carried, that the staff be empowered to lasue Zoning Permits for temporary
<br />off-street parking lots during the Alameda County Fair,
<br />City Attorney Struthere recommended that Section 22,104 of Ordinance No, 309, the
<br />Zoning Ordinance, be amended so that publication is sufficient. Section 22.104
<br />reads ae follows: "Notice of the time and place of the hearing shall be given by
<br />at least 1 publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the City of
<br />Pleasanton at least 10 days prior to said public hearing, aid by mailed notice to
<br />all owners of property within 900 feet of the property proposed to be rezoned to
<br />the address shown on the latest assessment roll, or otherwl.ee known to the Clerk."
<br />Because the taailing could become unduly burdensome, it was recommended by the
<br />City Attorney that the word "and" underscored above be changed to "or".
<br />In Ordinance No, 358, the Subdivision Ordinance, under Section 7.16 which reads:
<br />"The subdivider shall reserve sites, appropriate in area and location, fox nece~-
<br />sary and desirable residential facilities such ae schools, narks, glavarounda and
<br />shopping centers. .", it was recommended the word "public" precede the words
<br />"schools", "parka" and "playgrounds" underscored above, Upon motion of Chairman
<br />Landon, seconded by Commissioner Lozano, the following resolution wan unanimously
<br />adopted:
<br />RESOLUTION N0. 225
<br />WHEREAS, the Planning Commission, in administering City Ordlnancea
<br />No. 309 and No. 358 ae they affect various developments within

<br />to the City Council Chat the following amendments be made to
<br />said ordinances:
