apartments adjacent to Hacienda Business Park were constructed without any open space and other desirable amenities. She stated the streets are deteriorating. She urged caution and diligence by Council in this decision. Mr. Marcus Melander, Highland Oaks and concerned resident, stated he has lived here 14 years, is 24 years old, and wonders what the future is for him in Pleasanton. The City needs responsible growth. He asked that development be stopped now; the City needs time to assess present growth policies related to schools, environment, and traffic. Mr. Roger Manning, 239 Main Street, stated the City logo is "The City of Planned Progress", not "no-growth". He urged controlled-growth for good planning. He urged Council to wait for the State of the City Report before making a decision on growth management. It was moved by Councilmember Brandes, and seconded by Councilmember Tarver, that the Council adopt a resolution of intention that the growth management allocations for 1990 remain at the 150 units already approved under multi-unit projects, and that no more units be allocated for 1990. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers Brandes and Tarver NOES: Councilmembers Butler, Mohr, and Mayor Mercer ABSENT: None Councilmember Butler stated he could not support a motion that presupposes that Council knows the answers; he felt Council needs the input from the State of the City Report, which is expected to be completed in three weeks. It is his opinion that the impacts of all issues can be better handled with a steady growth on what can be anticipated rather than a future that is decided on a whim. He stated that at the appropriate time, when he has been able to review all the information available, he will make a decision on what rate of growth will be best for the City of Pleasanton for 1990. Councilmember Mohr stated she would like to wait for the State of the City Report so Council can make a better judgement on this matter. She would like to have the strongest support possible for a decision in case of court action. Councilmember Tarver felt that Council should tell the development community where it stands with regard to growth, and take a load off of the Planning Department. He stated the City Attorney has advised that Council can take a position based on evidence from the 1988 report. He stated it is already known that the school situation has not changed in the last year. He did not feel any more developments should be completed and occupied before more schools can be built. He felt Council owes it to the community to have a respite and see the effects of what is already approved and completed. - 10 - 3-7-89
