general plan designation. There has always been a fine line between the commercial properties along Main Street and the residential lots on Walnut Drive. When the Specific Plan was adopted, it identified this property as commercial/office. Mr. Pico asked why the staff report identified the property as R1-6500 residential if the property is already zoned for commercial. Mr. Swift said the General Plan is commercial, the Specific Plan is commercial/office. The zoning R1-6500 residential has been on the property since 1958 and is a zoning designation that is non-conforming to the General Plan. Mr. Pico said he did not remember this piece of property during the General Plan review. Mr. Swift said this property was probably not discussed in 1996. The focus instead was on the fine line between residential and commercial. Mr. Pico asked if in 1996 the neighbors had been notified that the designation was being changed. Mr. Swift believed the specific residents were not notified. He said staff matched the General Plan line to the Downtown Specific Plan specific line. Mr. Pico asked when other areas of the General Plan were changed had the residents been notified. Mr. Swift said if the General Plan was changing, the affected area was noticed as well as a general notice throughout the City. Ms. Michelotti asked if this area had at one time been designated a parking area. Mr. Swift said in the Downtown Specific Plan there is a conceptual parking layout plan but it does not specifically identify any particular lot. Ms. Michelotti said the General Plan was commercial for this property. Mr. Swift said the General Plan has been the same since 1964. Somewhere between Walnut Drive and Main Street is a line that changes the land use designation from residential to commercial. Ms. Michelotti said there was an inconsistency between the zoning and the General Plan. Pleasanton City Council 10 09/01/98 Minutes
