Mr. Roush indicated the Program allows the Council to extend certain urban services beyond the urban growth boundary if it finds that the potential future use is non-urban. Council can decide at a later date what is "non-urban". Ms. Dennis was concerned that changing non-urban to non-residential would allow a business park in the quarry area. Mr. Roush stated that if the intent is not to provide services to residential development, then the term non-residential should be used. Since Council is not sure what it would want to provide services for, then leaving the term "non-urban" would be more appropriate. It was moved by Mr. rico, seconded by Ms. Dennis, tO modify Land Use Element Program 11.2 to read as follows: "Extend Urban Services only to areas within the UGB, with the following possible exceptions for selected Urban Services: (1) areas beyond the UGB where the public health and safety present overriding considerations; (2) as to water service, areas which are within the boundaries of the former Pleasanton County Township Water District and where the service extension is consistent with the 1967 Joint Powers Agreement between the City and the District; and (3) on reclaimed land which is currently designated as Sand and Gravel harvesting in East Pleasanton when the potential future use is non-urban." The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers- Dennis, Michelotti, Mohr, Pico, and Mayor Tarver NOES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None Ms. Dennis referred to Program 11.3 and the whether the wording could be changed to say the UGB is considered to be permanent and then add "however minor adjustments may be granted...". Change is not disallowed, if the voters can change the boundary. She was concerned that a message of total permanence may be sent which is not accurate. Future changes are not "disallowed". It was moved by Ms. Dennis, seconded by Ms. Michelotti, to remove the word "disallowed". Mr. Tarvet was not happy with that. The word "discouraged" was removed and now the word "disallowed" is removed. The whole concept has been diluted. We are trying to say this is a line that should not be crossed unless it is voted on by the people. Mr. Pico asked if the ballot initiative would be in addition to this language. Mr. Roush stated the voters would be reaffirming what is adopted by Council at this meeting and then in order to change the boundary, there would have to be a vote by the people. 08/06/96 -25-
