Ranch. He said it is not appropriate to designate the Staples <br />Ranch as urban reserve. This may be a good place for rental <br />housing. <br /> <br />Mr. A1 Dutchover, 147 Bernal Avenue, Pleasanton, spoke <br />representing property owners at the end of Martin Avenue. They <br />would like to keep it a Specific Plan Area with a mix of Medium <br />and High Density Residential. <br /> <br />Mayor Brandes stated that because of the need for new schools in <br />that area, they felt more comfortable if the Staples Ranch was in <br />urban reserve. <br /> <br />Commissioner Wilson suggested we take it out of urban reserve and <br />Councilmember Mohr suggested the entire parcel be designated a <br />Specific Plan Area. <br /> <br />There was a consensus to redesignate about 311 acres from G&LI, <br />LDR and Sand & Gravel Harvesting to a Specific Plan Area allowing <br />a mix of Medium and High Density Residential uses in <br />approximately the same mix as exists throughout Pleasanton today <br />including areas for commercial, park and public uses. The 156 <br />acre Staples Ranch within this area should not be included as an <br />urban reserve. <br /> <br />Parcel 25 - Johnson: There was no public testimony and the <br />consensus was to delete the parcel from the Planning Area. <br /> <br />Parcel 26 - Busch: The consensus was to redesignate 8.7 acres of <br />this 34.7 acre parcel from MDR to HDR. <br /> <br />Parcel 27 - Busch: The consensus was to redesignate 17 acres to <br />P&I and 55 acres to MDR. <br /> <br />Parcel 28 - Kaiser: There was no public testimony and the <br />consensus was to redesignate 70 acres of this 91 acre parcel from <br />G&LI to S&G. <br /> <br />Growth Management Proposals <br /> <br />Mr. Marty Inderbitzen, 62 West Neal Street, Pleasanton, told the <br />audience it was a pleasure to serve on the Residential Review <br />Committee. He stated that annual allocation should consider <br />minimum and maximums. Exemptions should not count in <br />allocations, benchmarks should be abandoned and the holding <br />capacity should be the only benchmark. He feels there is a need <br />to make larger residential allocations for sewer capacity. <br /> <br />Mr. Ben Fernandez, 411 Main Street, Pleasanton, asked for <br />elimination of the 2% growth rate. He said housing is getting too <br />expensive in Pleasanton and the growth rate is doing much to <br />inhibit low cost housing. <br /> <br /> - 12 - <br /> <br /> <br />
