Item 6k Follow-up discussion with Council regarding the San Francisco ProjeCt Mayor Tarver indicated he and Ms. Michelotti were at the June 5, 1995 Alameda County Planning Commission meeting. He thought some of the Commissioners were surprised that Pleasanton had suggested to San Francisco early on to do a joint application, but San Francisco declined our offer. He didn't think the Planning Commission knew that and the Commission was surprised by the fact that San Francisco again publicly declined the offer and said it would prefer to stay in the County and take its chances. The Planning Commission decided that on 6/19/95, it would take up our issue, especially since it also had the Alameda County's Mayors Conference letter in support of our position. Mayor Tarver stated that he asked the Commission to make a recommendation on a joint application and he is sure the planning staff at the County is going to be questioning the County's giving up land use control. The Commission also discussed the economics of the project and if San Francisco reduces the density (the primary concern of Pleasanton), it will benefit everybody. The Mayor stated that there is a new economic analyst on the project. He is providing information that wasn't available previously but which might be considered for discussion with the Commission. If the project comes to the City of Pleasanton, it would further reduce-the infrastructure costs associated with the project and make it more economically viable. There were also discussion about traffic and the analysis to date has been restricted to Valley and Bernal. It didn't discuss what will happen at Valley and Hopyard with the traffic. The Planning Commission saw right through the reverse osmosis plan and the numbers that San Francisco provided regarding water capacity. San Francisco has problems and the Planning Commission kept questioning San Francisco representatives as to how are they going to get Pleasanton to cooperate since Pleasanton surrounds the property and San Francisco must come to Pleasanton for access, road improvements, etc. He believed the Commission was realizing that it won't work unless it is done together. Mr. Roush stated he was working on a letter from the staff to the Planning Director about what we would like the Planning Commission to recommend to the Board. 06/06/95 18
