PL4NNING COMMISSION <br />RESOLUTION N0. 125 <br />Whereas, the Alameda County planning Commission is presently considering amendments <br />to its Zoning Ordinance which would change the permitted ].and use from agricultural to <br />heavy industrial of an area consisting of approximately 678 acres located southerly of U. <br />S. Highway 50 and westerly of Hopyard Road; and <br />Whereas, said area proposed to be rezoned has been included in the "Pleasanton <br />Planning Area" for the purpose of advisory review by the City of Pleasanton relative to <br />proposed totting changes; and <br />Whereas, the City of Pleasanton is presently studying the extensiott of its official <br />General Plan to include said area proposed to be rezoned and has set an initial hearing <br />date For said General Plan extension for Febru$ry 16, 1961; <br />Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved, as follows: <br />1. The City of Pleasanton does hereby urge the Alameda County Planning Commission <br />to deny the request to rezone said area Prom agricnx].tural to heavy industrial. <br />2. This request and recommendation is made for the following reasons: <br />a. The rezoning of the area in question may well result in overzoning for <br />industry in the "Pleasanton Planning Area." <br />b. Heavy industrial development of the type allowed by the Alameda County <br />Zoining Ordinance would create serious air pollution problems for the entire Amador Valley. <br />c. Heavy industrial development of the type allowed by the Alameda County Zoning <br />Ordinance is much less restrictuve than that allowed by the Pleasanton Zoning Ordinance. <br />Such development in the area in question under the Alameda County Zoning Ordinance would <br />not be compatible with the flrture application of the Pleasanton General Plan and Zoning <br />Ordinance, and would tend to nullify the "Industrial Park" concept embodied in the City <br />oP Pleasanton Zoning Ordinance. <br />d. Heavy industrial zoning and development in the area in question may well <br />prove to be incompatible with the eventual land uses in the surrounding areas. <br />3• The City staff is hereby instructed to forward copies of this resolution to all <br />interested parties. <br />Mr. Fales read a communication from the County Planning Commission denying the <br />application of Orin Crowe. <br />There being no further business to come before the Commission, on motion of Commis- <br />sioner Iandon, seconded by Commissioner Lozano, and approved by all Commissioners present, <br />the meeting was adjourned at 9:50 P.M. to meet again on January 5, 1961 at 8:00 P.M, at <br />the City Hall. <br />~~ <br />~ /% <br />i L C ~~ <br />/ ,~ <br />J mes M. ales, Jr. - Sec tart' <br />
