385 <br /> <br />supported the proposed Initiative because it guarantees <br />participation in the process. <br /> <br /> Ms. Karen Wilson, 8078 Palomino Drive, commented that contrary <br />to what the Staff Report indicates, the two Initiatives are not in <br />conflict with each other. She asked who the "citizens" on <br />Section 1. Declaration of Purpose referred to and pointed out that <br />Section 5. Implementation (D) assumed that the Initiative would be <br />approved by the people. She then inquired what the "conflict" was <br />in connection with Section 7. Conflict With Another Ballot <br />Measure. <br /> <br /> Mr. Manny Joel, 5470 Foothill Road, stated that the issue is <br />not what will happen but who will control what will happen. He <br />emphasized that it should be clear to the citizens that if they <br />want Pleasanton to control the Ridgelands, they will have to <br />support the Council Initiative and vote against the SPRC <br />Initiative. <br /> <br /> Mr. Mercer asked staff what the most restrictive zoning <br />classification is. <br /> <br /> Mr. Roush replied that the most restrictive General Plan land <br />use category is "Public Health and Safety". He added that the area <br />is now under a "Study Area" category, which is technically not a <br />General Plan designation. <br /> <br /> Ms. Mohr requested Mr. Roush to elaborate on the conflict <br />between the two Initiatives. <br /> <br /> Mr. Roush explained that the statement that the proposed <br />ordinance is in conflict with another ballot measure needs to be in <br />the Initiative so that the voters recognize that there are <br />differences between the two Initiatives. The conflict exists in <br />the sense that the two Initiatives have different General Plan <br />designations. Additionally, the development standards are set <br />forth in some detail in the SPRC Initiative, while the Council <br />Initiative leaves actual development standards still to be <br />developed. The Council Initiative further states that a committee <br />recommendation will carry out the Initiative, if approved. The <br />SPRC Initiative does not provide for a committee, but does not <br />necessarily preclude it. <br /> <br /> Ms. Mohr inquired if the area can be annexed as "Study Area" <br />and for what period of time it can be left under such a <br />designation. <br /> <br /> 7-23-90 <br /> <br /> - 9 - <br /> <br /> <br />
