Chairman Landon they asked fox comments by the Commieaioners. C~ml.saioaer Rega stated the character of this mobile home park has more promise than those at present located here, and would create a stronger tax bass. However, he felt the primary consideration was the effect on the Generai Plan and, therefore, signified opposi- tion to the proposal. Commissioner Lozano stated there is a need fox a trailer park itt Chia area somewhere, but this site ie not the proper location, is his opinion. There should be as area designated in the General Plan for this purpose, and he is, therefore, opposed to Cho proposal. Commissioner Wlpfii said that the Commission izsa been relating to the General Plan which is obsolete because of the probability ~# a sew one being developed, and perhaps this is a satisfactory location for a mobile home park. Chairman Landon said that in hie estimation the proposal is at- tractive and would be a good addition to the Amador Valley area, but thinks because we are operating on the present General Plaa, which is presently the City's accepted General Plan until procedure for modifying it has been undertaken, the Cormi.saion ie obliged to acC on that Plan, Tha Commission might well consider what area would be suitable for a trailer park. Upon motion by Commiasioaer Rega, seconded by Commia- sionex Lozano, the following resolution was unanimously adopted by those Commission- ers present: RESOLUTION NO. 198 WHEREAS, the Plam:ing Commission of the City of Pleasanton has considered the zoning of thirty-eight scree easterly of Santa Rita Road, north of Alisal Elementary School, commonly called Delucchi property, which is under consideration for annexation to the City; sad WHBRF/1.5, the Planning Commission has held a public hearing after due notice and has heard arguments for and against zoning which would permit contstruction of a mabile home park; NOWT THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS: 1. The Planning Commission feels that increase of density in said territory would be to the detriment of the existing General Plan dated April, 1960, presently in effect ae a part of Ordinance No. 309. 2. Modifying said Generalf3aa has implications which are not justified at this time and which should be studied further. 3. Accordingly, the Planning Commission recommends to the City Council that, upon annexation of said territory, the zoning classification prohibiting mobile home parks be considered, and particularly that said territory classified R-1 (single- family residential). Chaixr~an Landon declared a recess at 9:25 P.M. At 9:37 P.M. Chaiatim-n Landon recommened the meeting and proceeded to open the public hearing oa consideration of an emeadmeat to the General Plan relocating the proposed major east-west thotoughfaxe extension of Vineyard Avenue to the north of the Arroyo del Valle. Mr. Fales explained the apgi.neering study made by Mr. Ted Fairfield was inatj.gated because a developer was interested in developing the area to determine praciaelq the location and wldeh of the street in order that the right-of-way could be designated. A route north of the Arroyo dei Valle seemed to be more feasible. The staff recommends a change in the General Plan rather than recommending follow- ing the General Plaa in this instance. Mr. Ted Fairfield was called upon and out- lined the existing General Plan route and the new proposed route north of the Arroyo del Valle to Hopyard Road--the same termiaua ae the existing General Plan route. He stated the coat of the segment from Santa Aita Road to Hopyard Road would logical- ly be shared by a future developer. The more northerly route better serves the need in terms of traffic circulation. tJith reference to Stanley Boulevard, if there is no divider strip, the median strip would be lessened or eliminated, and the existing homes on Stanley Boulevard would not have to be removed. Dpon inquiry by Chairman Landon, Mr. Fairfield said, timawise, this route may be developed as early as 1970. Speaking in opposition to the proposal was Mr. Earl Augusta, 3963 Stanley Boulevard, who read a letter he had written to the Planning Commission; Mr. Norman Warnaw, Realtor; and Mr. Maurice Jones, a Stanley Blvd. resident. In response to a question by Mra. E. Caton of Stanley Blvd., Mr. Fairfield stated Stanley Boulevard is now 66 feet wide and would be widened to 64 feet--or approximatelq nine feet on each aide; however, the footage oa each side may not ba equal. Ha added that County roads usually rand to be major streets whey development occurs. Mr. Falea said the
