Curb breaks shall be no wider than twenty (20) feet and shall be separated from adjacent breaks by a curb no less than forty (40) feet is length. 8. A clearly legible site plan with all dimensions drawn to scale and architectural drawings including a perspective drawing of all buildings to be erected shall be submitted to the Planning Comniasion for approval prior to the commencement of any construction activity. A petition, signed by 79 property owners and merchants, was presented to the Co~maissioa, requesting the City deny permission to construct a professional building in what is known as Jensen tract for the following reasons: 1. This tract was proposed as and is now considered to be an ezclusive, high quality residential sub-division. It was annexed on that basis and homes have been built on that basis. Any deviation would amount to a breach of faith and would detract from the tracts present high standards. 2. There is adequate space for such a building within the City's present commercial zone; growth within the zone should be encouraged and the proposed construction would tend to set a precedent that would be detrimental to such growth. 3. Good planning would indicate that the residential areas should be exclusive and that all business and professional activities should be confined to the present central area until such time as population increases require creation of additional business zones. A discussion with the local businessmen followed. It was moved by Commissioner Abrott, seconded by Commissioner Hanifea and approved by all that a resolution, similar to that proposed by Mr. Williams, be drafted and presented to the Citp Council. The following is the resolution, drawn up by City Attorney Struthers: WHEREAS, it is considered to the interest of the public welfare to proceed with the zoning of the territory annexed to the City since February 1, 1954; and WHEREAS, the existing zoning ordinance of the City of Pleasanton adopted by the City of Pleasanton February 1, 1954, as amended, provides for multiple dwellings and certain home occupations; and WHEREAS, the City of Pleasanton is in the process of adopting a master plan and rerising its zoning ordinance; NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING CO`II~ISSIUN U THE CITY OF PLEASANTUN DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AND RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL AS FOLLOWS: 1.
