approval. He requested that Council reserve approval in 1996 since all the proposed approvals are unlikely to be built. The average number of units built over the last few years is much less than the City's 750 unit goal. Mr. Bates requested the following: approve the negative declaration for PUD-95-04, approve GPA-95-01; find the land swap between the Del Prado site and Hansen Park is in the public's best interest; that the PUD rezoning and development plan are consistent with the General Plan and purpose of the PUD ordinance; and that Council approve PUD-95-04 for PUD rezoning and development plan approval subject to the following conditions: change condition #4 to read that the applicant shall replace one of the two story units currently shown on Black Avenue with a single-story unit; change condition #6 so that the garage in Plan 1 be redesigned to provide a clean, clear, unobstructed twenty by twenty foot space and, that Plans 2,3,and 4 be accepted as presented; change condition #9 so that the maximum FARs is at least 40%; and agree to a reservation for this project in the 1996 growth management program. Peter McDonald, 400 Main Street, representing the Pleasanton Unified School District, stated the Board is fully supportive of the proposal by New Cities Development and felt the plan with the land swap is creative. He felt the Planning Commissions staff report identifies the key issue: what was the appropriate land use for that site, given that it is not going to be a school. The decisions as to where public schools are built belongs with the Board of Trustees of the Pleasanton Unified School District. There was a question as to how the decision was made and in response to the City Council's request, an in depth public hearing was held. The Board of Trustees has designated the proceeds from the sale of this site to go to a multi-purpose room at Walnut Grove. Because it is an installment deal, the sooner the growth management approval is received for this site, the sooner that money will become available for the Walnut Grove site. He urged Council to follow the recommendation of the City Manager, Planning Director and the Planning Commission with minor modifications proposed by New Cities. Bob Perko, 2274 Camino Brazos, fully supported the development of the property. He has two children attending Walnut Grove School and felt the proceeds will enhance the elementary school. Terri Sewall, 5034 Blackbird Way, was in support of this project. She felt the two elementary schools support the area and that they can handle the children from the 34 units which are to be developed. Elizabeth Purselie, 2259 Camino Brazos, lives seven houses away from the site and is in support of the project. She encouraged Council to go ahead with the project. She felt the project is complementary to the area. She would like to see as many two-story homes go in as possible and felt the land swap will be excellent for the park. Janet Yarbrough, 4560 Eull Court, also supported the project. She felt the land is an unsightly vacant lot and can be a fire/safety hazard when the weeds are full grown and dry. She 10/17/95 -10-
