Zoning for the property is PUD (Planned Unit <br />Development) - I/C-O (Industrial/Commercial-Office) District. (SR96: 152) <br /> <br /> Brian Swift presented the staff report. <br /> <br /> Mr. Tarver asked how many square feet of right of way was being vacated. <br /> <br /> Mr. Swift said he would have to calculate that figure. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarvet declared the public hearing open. <br /> <br /> John Hashman, 4900 Johnson Drive, representing Providian Bancorp, indicated he agreed <br />with the staff and Planning Commission. They are excited about this project and feel it is a <br />continuing commitment to the City of Pleasanton and to the approximately 1,000 employees <br />curren~y working here. They want to consolidate the two parcels on either side of Morse Drive <br />into one campus that will have many amenities such as water features, fountains, areas of <br />congregation, etc. Closure of Morse Drive is a safety issue to them because there will be a lot <br />of foot traffic back and forth. This will be a first rate campus for the employees as well as the <br />community. <br /> <br /> Mr. Tarvet liked the comments about the water features and entryway to the buildings <br />and wondered if there was a possibility to include some kind of public art. Would Providian <br />work with the Civic Arts Commission? <br /> <br /> Mr. Hashman indicated they had been discussing that already. The existing buildings <br />have sculptures in front and they wanted to have something to combine the sculpture feature with <br />the water feature. He agreed to meet with the Civic Arts Commission to talk about this. <br /> <br /> Ms. Mohr asked if Providian was comfortable with the amount of parking? <br /> <br />05/21/96 -21- <br /> <br /> <br />
