where there are specific issues related to the Specific Plan and consistency with the Specific Plan. He asked if the reports specifically referred to the right-of-way for the road, and whether the description and construction of the road is the same. Mr. Swift said all the answers to his questions are in the Planning Commission staff report. He also mentioned letters were received from the Sportonos, Moreiras and from Planning Commissioner Cooper. Mr. Pico said he received a considerable number of phone calls regarding this issue. He made a site visit to specifically look at the road alignment and felt comfortable with the issue. Patrick Constanzo, Jr., representing Patrick Development Company, thanked staff for all its efforts. He said Greenbriar was in agreement with all the conditions of approval. He described the project and showed slides and described the architectural designs. He said there is a significant amount of off-site improvements and the plan calls for the developers to fund these in advance with a reimbursement allocation based on the number of parcels that are developed. If a parcel develops within a fifteen year time frame, the parcel owner would reimburse the developer; if the parcel developed after a fifteen year time frame it would not have to pay any fee. He explained the different plans for the alignment of the road and the traffic calming alternatives. Mr. Costanzo described the noticing and number of neighborhood meetings. He said the traffic calming alternatives were not acceptable to the neighborhood and were therefore dropped. Ms. Ayala said originally it was believed 400 houses would be in place of the golf course and the developer of those houses would be paying its fair share. Mr. Constanzo said yes. He said the Planning Commissioners voted 3-2, finding the PUD inconsistent with the General Plan. The Planning Commissioners who voted no did so because the PUD does not specifically offer low-income housing. He said there is an option to pay a fee in lieu of construction of low-income housing, and Greenbriar is willing to pay that fee. He said it would be difficult to provide lower-income housing with the low density zoning. Since the Planning Commission meeting, Greenbriar has decided it would be willing to offer additional second units as a way of augmenting the need for lower income housing. He believed that since they are paying the fee and offering the secondary units, the plan is in conformance with the General Plan. He asked Council to support the project as presented. Ms. Ayala understood that the Alternative "A" for the road alignment was not accepted. Mr. Constanzo said that is correct. Ms. Michelotti asked if Alternative A had the roundabout in it. Mr. Constanzo said no; Ms. Ayala had referred to Original A versus Alternative A. Pleasanton City Council 2/17/98 Minutes 8
