Ms. Michelotti asked if there had been other situations where the property owner was <br />going to live on the property. <br /> <br /> Mr. Swift said no. The way the Specific Plan is designed, as well as in the PUD <br />prezoning, the Spotorno property comes before the City for its PUD development plan, the <br />issues with respect to what happens with the open space will be decided. The Specific Plan will <br />allow the property to remain as a ranch and continue to operate. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ayala asked if the land where the Spotorno compound is proposed could be <br />developed if it were not encumbered with an agricultural easement? <br /> <br /> Mr. Swift said a General Plan change and an urban limit line modification would be <br />required. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ayala understood this would be a lengthy process and did not see the benefit when <br />the land could not be developed and was going to be ranched. <br /> <br /> Mr. Swift said staff was looking at a way to treat the additional six units on the Spotorno <br />area in addition to the density bonus south of Happy Valley Road. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti asked, where the flat area was being considered with a view corridor, was <br />the five acre dedication a trade off?. <br /> <br /> Mr. Swift said this was looked at. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti said when this was not agreed upon, did it go to a different type of <br />dedication. <br /> <br /> Mr. Swift said the Planning Commission felt 22 units was acceptable and to look at doing <br />the same for the area south of Happy Valley. Staff tried to treat everyone the same. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti asked if the trade-off for open space was discussed at the Parks and <br />Recreation Commission meetings and at the Planning Commission meetings. <br /> <br /> Mr. Swift said the Planning Commission recommended 22 units on the flat area and <br />recommended additional density for the Happy Valley area. Staff worked with the property <br />owners to try and accomplish additional density in exchange for keeping agricultural use for <br />some of the property. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti asked if the Planning Commission wanted a higher density than one unit <br />per two acres on the south side of Happy Valley Road. <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council 19 06/16/98 <br />Minutes <br /> <br /> <br />
