AGENDAAMENDMENTS Item 6g was continued to 1/21/92 4, CONSENT CALENDAR Robert Pearson, 262 W. Angela, spoke in opposition to items 4c and 4d. He indicated that he and others had been circulating a petition to challenge the General Plan change. He was not sure whether they would be able to obtain enough signatures because of the time of year (holidays). He stated that if they did not obtain enough signatures, they wouldthen challenge the zoning change. He felt this action was in contrast to the General Plan which has always been that 25% of the City's residential units would be multiple units and would be disbursed throughout the City. The number of units built in North Pleasanton, around this particular site, is approximately 29,000 projected building units. Just in this one area there would be between 25-40% of those multiple units. This is not disbursing the multiple units throughout the community. Mr. Pearson indicated he would not challenge the project with legal action due to the expense. He believed the assessment bonds preclude this project from being a viable residential project. He asked what would happen when improvements need to be made on the intersections due to the high traffic caused by these units. 1/7/92 1
