4 Ms. Mohr asked if there would be a room or space within the development for seniors to sit and visit. She asked that Mr. ' Madden talk with staff about adding a few square feet by the laundry room to provide a room with some card tables etc. for the seniors while they were waiting for their laundry. Mr. Madden agreed. He commented that a room such as that was not included because it was felt that the location of the site was close to downtown and a park, which were amenities to the project. Robert Cortz, 262 W. Angela, spoke in favor of this application. He referred to Exhibit B, Conditions 6 & 9 and asked how these applied. Mr. Swift explained Condition 6 would be a recorded instrument that would guarantee low income units and is required prior to the issuance of a building permit~ He stated that Condition 9 referred to the requirement of a current title report because many of the lots in the area are not marked according to the surveys. Florence Nerton, 462 St. Mar~ Street, was opposed to the density of the project and it being two stories in height. The project would be directly in front of her home and her view of the hills and the evening breeze would be blocked. She was not opposed to senior housing but felt that this was not the appropriate location. She disagreed that being close to downtown was an .... amenity because there is no longer a grocery store. Jan Bachelor, 644 St. Mary Street, spok~e in opposition to the project. She was pleased with the design and tAnBe of housing but felt that this was not an appropriate site. She stated that this area was zoned as R-1 Residential and should stay that way. She was concerned that this City could become overplanned. Mr. Madden stated that providing affordable housing in Pleasanton was not easy. He felt that this was a good project with a great location and it would help provide affordable housing. There being no further testimony, Mr. Mercer declared the public hearing closed. Mr. Butler asked staff if this area was designated "High Density" in the General Plan. Mr. Swift answered yes. Ms. Mohr referred to the General Plan Review study and asked if there was consideration in removing the High Density Overlay at that time.
