Zoninq for the <br />property is RM-2,500 (Multiple Family Residential) District. <br />(SR92:434) <br /> <br />Also consider adoption of a Negative Declaration <br /> <br /> Mr. Mercer declared the public hearing open on the <br />application. <br /> <br /> Michael Goldsworthy, 633 Abbie Street, urged Council to <br />approve this project. He explained the history of the project and <br />the process which it had gone through prior to coming to Council. <br />He indicated that he was in agreement with the recommendations and <br />conditions for this project. He artended the meeting tonight to <br />answer any questions that Council might have. <br /> <br /> Mr. Tarver asked why the project was changed from the court <br />concept to the outside access. <br /> <br /> Mr. Goldsworthy said that the original plan was to eliminate <br />driveways and garage doors from the streetscape. He explained that <br />the easements and cross-easements necessary for shared driveways <br />became too cumbersome for operation and maintenance. Also if there <br />were common areas, a homeowners association would be necessary and <br />would add to the cost of the units. In order to keep the units <br />more affordable, it was decided to change the plan. <br /> <br /> Ms. Mohr asked what the monthly charge would have been for the <br />residents if the project was not changed and had a homeowners <br />association. <br /> <br /> Mr. Goldsworthy answered that the cost was not discussed. <br /> <br /> Rich Riley, 5576 Sonoma Drive, member of the Mayor's <br />Affordable Housing Task Force and of Pleasanton City Employees <br />Association Board, spoke in favor of this application. He believed <br />that the City of Pleasanton should provide quality living for all <br />lifestyles. He felt that this was a good plan and the use of this <br />property would be very desirable for this type of housing. He <br />asked that Council approve this project and follow through to be <br />sure it is completed as presented this evening. <br /> <br /> 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
