~ Page VI-35 <br />Commissioner Blank noted that Program 21.3 should include a diversity element and in <br />any other programs where the City encourages development of services. <br />Page VI-36 <br />Commissioner Fox noted that with respect to Program 22.3 addressing high-quality <br />childcare centers and services instead of "pazks," "public facilities" or "community <br />facilities" should be part of the language. <br />Paee VI-37: <br />There were none. <br />Table VI-5 <br />Chairperson Arkin would like to see Pleasanton-specific ratios on this chazt. <br />Mr. Wolfe pointed out that this chart was only a compazison between Pleasanton's <br />facilities versus national guidelines. <br />Commissioner Blank believed that Pleasanton could use more soccer fields but did not <br />want community needs to be overshadowed by national standazds. <br />Commissioner Maas agreed that City-specific standards should be identified. <br />Commissioner Fox would like a General Plan listing of amenities the City did not have, <br />such as toddler pools, that surrounding communities did have. <br />Commissioner Maas suggested that a wish list of future goals also be included in the <br />General Plan. <br />With respect to Policy 25, Commissioner Fox noted that Dublin's aquatic facilities were <br />open for more hours for recreational activities than Pleasanton's were. <br />Page VI-1 <br />Commissioner Fox inquired whether "community programs" meant programs run or <br />monitored by the City, or any public or private program within the City limits. <br />Ms. Stern noted a definition was needed and that there was a bias within general plans to <br />address physical plants and facilities. However, Pleasanton has programs provided by <br />both the City and other agencies such as the School District, and a definition would be <br />appropriate. <br />/- <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES February 22, 2006 Page 13 of 21 <br />
