106 Ms. Mohr commented that the property has already been reviewed by residential and industrial citizens' committees when the General Plan was revised. She added that with the completion of the Specific Plan for this last large piece of property within the City limits, Pleasanton will be a built-out city and will then look at incrementally adding to its boundaries with almost entirely low- density properties, such as the Ridge. She stated that the concept plan presented by the San Francisco staff is an excellent starting point and that the specific plan process would refine the project. She indicated that Pleasanton's planning process should now be involved and that she preferred to have a work session between the Planning Commission and the City Council. Mr. Tarver stated that although the property has been the subject of a General Plan review, he would like to look at Pleasanton's General Plan goals and objectives to see what would be best for the property. He mentioned that a workshop between the Planning Commission and the City Council would not involve the community at the level he would like to see and added that because numerous issues on the proposal need to be addressed, the Pleasanton Ridgelands Committee's plan should be completed before another major issue that would impact Pleasanton is considered. Mr. Mercer commented that many important issues in Pleasanton like the General Plan, the Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan, the Foothill Road Corridor and the Ridgelands have has been designed by citizen participation. He stated that the San Francisco property is an important piece of property on the Valley floor and that he would like to have citizens participate in determining the uses on the property. He agreed that this committee should not start until the PRC is completed since there could be some members of the PRC who might want to be involved in this committee. Mr. Agnos stated that he understood and supported the commitment that both San Francisco and Pleasanton have made to involve community participation in the planning process. He added that he was comfortable with the Council's proposal. He indicated that since there are no interest payments involved, there is no rush to work on the proposal and that the project can be handled in the way that would best serve Pleasanton's, as well as San Francisco's, interests. - 8 - 11-20-90
