Mr. Tarver was concerned about flustering homes where people may not want that in terms of the character of the surrounding area. Can wording be added to make development consistent with the surrounding area. Mr. Rasmussen felt that was possible. Also, assuming there is a Specific Plan in the South Pleasanton area, the actual parcel sizes could be defined at that time. It was moved by Ms. Mohr, seconded by Ms. Michelotti, to modify page H-9, paragraph 2, sentence 3, to read as follows: "The Happy Valley area is designated as Low Density Residential with a two-acre maximum density, with consideration to be given to adjoining land uses." The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers - Dennis, Michelotti, Mohr, Pico, and Mayor Tarvet NOES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None There was a break at 10:20 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 10:30 p.m. Vineyard Avenue Corridor Mr. Rasmussen reviewed the proposed language and indicated the maximum of 480 units was recommended because of the infrastructure costs. He explained subalternative 7. Mr. Tarvet asked if the gross developable acres definition were applied, what would the number of units be allowed. He was concerned that setting a maximum of 480 units would yield an expectation that 480 units would be approved. Mr. Rasmussen did not think it would result in a change. The Specific Plan for the site would determine the parcel sizes and there would be flexibility in the land use. Mr. Rasmussen felt the 480 units was determined only conceptually because engineering estimates of costs of public services. Ms. Mohr felt that Council usually considers a piece of land and determines what makes sense in terms of number of units; she could not recall a time when Council said a certain number of homes would be allowed and then tried to make them fit on the land. She had no problem setting a maximum number of units, but that should then be reviewed on a case by case basis on individual parcels. 07/01/96 -19-
