inn/conference facility/spa that would have been conditionally permitted on Lot 28 was recommended to be deleted from the plan entirely. Ms. Michelotti agreed with that except for the limitation to medium density only. Mr. Swift said adding them to all residential areas would take care of that. Ms. Ayala asked why this would not be a good idea and whether the economic plan had reviewed this. Mr. Swift said the economic feasibility study looked at the large bed and breakfastJconferencecenter and did not speak to the smaller units. Originally the bed and breakfast concept was an outgrowth of the South Livermore Specific Plan, which wanted to attract these uses to the Vineyard Corridor. Those typically are situated in and among vineyards, on vineyard estate type lots. No one wanted to lose vineyard area to a bed and breakfast so they were taken out. With a conditional use permit application, it is possible to control how many get built in a particular area. It is possible that someone would open a B&B in a low density area as well as in a medium density area next to a vineyard, but he did not think there would be very many; especially if it requires the sacrifice of one for sale lot for a two bedroom bed and breakfast. With both the conditional use permit and the fact that it deletes a for sale unit, it is not likely there will be very many. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers - Ayala and Michelotti NOES: Councilmember Pico and Mayor Tarver ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: CouncilmemberDennis The motion failed. Ms. Michelotti then referred to page 32 of the Design Guidelines regarding fencing. It was moved by Ms Michelotti to change the language regarding fencing to read as follows: "Solid board fencing in moderate to steeply sloping terrain is not appropriate. Open fencing with landscaping should be encouraged when located in close proximity to a residence. If solid fencing is desired, it is limited to be four feet in height solid with two feet of lattice on top." The motion failed for lack of a second. Ms. Michelotti said she would like open fencing in the entire Corridor, but this is a compromise to try and keep solid fencing out, which looks like higher density development. Ms. Ayala thought there might be problems for property owners in certain areas because the terrain is so different. Pleasanton City Council 14 06/01/99 Minutes
