26 Ruben Glickman, an attorney with the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, made a presentation of the Preferred Plan. He believed that this Plan is what the citizens of Pleasanton want and need. He indicated that this process cannot be delayed any longer. He asked that Council approve the Plan. In response to Council's coonterns and questions, Mr. Glickman explained that the buildout period is unknown. He anticipated it to be 10 years but it is unpredictable. The project would begin with the golf course and build into the retail, etc. The Preferred Plan and citizens review focused on the wants and needs of the project not the economic aspect. He thought that there was, on an average, 8 to 10 citizens attending each of the meetings. Jeff Grote, Consultant, explained how the Committee and San Francisco took into consideration the undeveloped land in Pleasanton (i.e. traffic, build-out, etc). Mr. Pico reiterated his belief that this Plan should be included with the General Plan discussions and if San Francisco did not wish to do so, then it should go to the vote of the people in Pleasanwn. Mayor Tarver agreed. Hansen Moran, General Manager of San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, x'eltemted that San Francisco has fully cooper=t~ri with Pleasanton. He requested the following: 1 ) the draft Specific Plan documents proceed immediately and independent of the General Plan process; the conclusions of the San Francisw Steering Committee are to be assumed by the General Plan Steering Committee and Genenl Plan update; 2) a time table be set forth to give San Francisco certainty of when to expect adoption of the Specific Plan; and 3) a finn commitment from PleasanWn insuring continued future cooperation with San Francisco in implementation of the Plan so that the benefits that both cities seek can be realized. Tim Jefferson, Public Utilities Commi-~sioner, pointed out that San Fran~ has considered this a partnership with Pl~-~nton and would like to continue that. He reiterated-the process practiced throughout this plan and urged Council to allow San Francisco to move forward. Robert Cordtz, 262 W. Angela, spol~ in favor of reviewing this Plan in the General Plan process. He believed that many questions remain unanswered regarding this project. In response to Mayor Tarver's inquiry, Mr. Swift explained the process that would be ~k,~-n if the General Plan EIR were to include the San Frant~o property. Mayor Tarver and Councilmembers Dennis and Pico believed that this Plan should be brought through the General Plan review process. This would ensure both the City and San Francisco that this is the Plan that the citizens want. It was moved by Mayor Tarver, and seconded by Ms. Dennis, to refer the £an Francisco Specific Plan to the General Plan Review Committee. 05/11/93 4
