There being no further testimony, Mr. Mercer declared the public hearing closed. It was moved by Mr. Brandes, and seconded by Mr. Mohr, that Resolution No. 90-26 be adopted, based on a review of an initial environmental study done for this project and on a finding that no significant environmental impact would occur as outlined in the City's guidelines and on a further finding that a negative declaration is appropriate in connection with RZ-89-17, the application of Tri-Mesa Development to rezone an approximately 50,250 sq. ft. parcel located at 417 Sycamore Road from the "A" (Agricultural) District to the R-l-10,000 (Single-Family Residential) District and to the R-1-8,500 (Single-Family Residential) District or to any other zoning district consistent with the General Plan. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers Brandes, Mohr, Tarver and Mayor Mercer NOES: None ABSENT: Councilmember Butler ABSTAIN: None Mr. Brandes stated that the Planning Commission and staff have put conditions on this development which address the concerns of the property owners. It also gives the proper options to control the design review to assure that the project sets standard that may be followed on future developments in the area. Mr. Tarver stated that in keeping with the direction of the North Sycamore Road proposal, both sides of the road should have the same one acre plan. The staff recommendation to divide the back lots while keeping the front as one parcel would be consistent with the plan. He indicated that he would like to see this development working in coordination with the plan on the north side of Sycamore Road. Ms. Mohr concurred with Mr. Tarver regarding the two cul-de-sac lots. She stated that if Independence Road is aligned to come west of the property, it would be consistent to have one acre lots on both sides of the road. However, if it is aligned with the property and impacts it, 10,000 sq. ft.lots would be more appropriate. She indicated that the decision regarding the frontage of the property being one or two lots should be made when the Specific Plan is done. Mr. Mercer pointed out that the lots at the back of the property are all zoned differently than one acre and create a very lovely neighborhood. If the properties from Sunol Boulevard down to Amber Lane on the south side of Sycamore Road are to be annexed, their zoning should coincide with the properties behind them. Two of the eight pieces are already in the City and have a zoning density that is greater than one acre. He indicated that he would support the project. -8- 2-6-90
