5. Add policy guidance directing the future prepazation of an art master plan for the Phase II Specific Plan azea. The following comments were also received from the Commissions regarding the Master Plan: 1. Reserve land in the northeasternmost portion of the Community Park for a potential connection of a driveway to Bernal Avenue from Subarea I. 2. Add a football/lacrosse field to the community pazk as an additional field. 3. Add a policy clarifying that the soccer stadium is to be shazed with other field sports, such as football and lacrosse. Mr. Rasmussen advised that the "Pazk and Recreation" definition in the Specific Plan specifically allows tennis as a potentially permitted use in a number of subazeas. The possibility of permitting tennis courts at the top of Subazea 7 was discussed, and the term "passive recreation" may need to be expanded in this regazd to allow tennis courts. A discussion of the layout of the site with respect to the tennis courts ensued. Mr. Rasmussen recommended that the Planning Commission conduct straw votes on the issues outlined in the staff report in order to help evolve the final recommendations for the two Plans. Staff recommended that the Commission adopt a resolution recommending that the City Council certify the Final EIR for the project as complete and adequate and approve the CEQA Findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations. Staff further recommended that the Commission adopt a resolution recommending that the City Council approve the Bernal Property Phase II Specific Plan, subject to certain changes resulting from the EIR process, and approve the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. Finally, staff recommended that the Commission adopt a resolution recommending that the City Council approve the Bernal Community Master Plan. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. Leonard Cooper, 6923 Lassen Street, noted that the Pleasanton Community Tennis Club had been established and that it would grow into an association. He had been elected as its first president and detailed the Club's accomplishments, including its mission statement. He requested the Commission's cooperation with the Youth Commission and Pazks and Recreation Commission in recommending to the City Council that six lighted tennis courts be added to the Community Park Master Plan. Hal Wilson, 5050 Blackbird Way, excerpted passages from his two-page presentation he had made to City Council in support of tennis courts at the Bernal Property. E. John Ainsworth, 3271 Farmington Court, supported the inclusion of tennis courts in Phase II of the Bernal Property. He hoped that there would be enough tennis courts throughout Pleasanton for his grandchildren to play when they were 73. He noted that lighted tennis courts would be most useful to tennis players.
