PUBLIC HEARINGS Appeal of Meadow Plaza Associates of a decision of the Planning Commission denying their application for PUD (Planned Unit Development) zoning and development plan approval for a 156 unit multi-family residential project on approximately six acres of land located east of the Exxon Station at the southeast corner of West Las Posi- tas Boulevard and Santa Rita Road. Zoning for the property is PUD (Planned Unit Development)-Commercial and Offices Consider adoption of Mitigated Negative Declaration Mr. Harris presented his report (SR 83:138) dated March 30, 1983, regarding this matter. Mr. Glenn Kierstead, representing Meadow Plaza Associates, presented background information regarding the proposed project and stated he had met with the homeowners association as well as most of the residents on Weymouth Court in an attempt to miti- gate the concerns of these people relative to density, quality of the project, traffic, cross traffic for school children, parking in the interior of the project, lighting, loitering and problems across the street. Mr. Kierstead presented renderings of the revised proposed project and stated he concurred with staff recommendations with the exception of Condition No. 3 which requires that a fence be constructed on the south- ern portion of the property; he stated there is a cyclone fence on the property now and he felt there was no need to replace it. He also requested that Condition No. 58 be eliminated due to the change in his landscaping plan. He stated that the firm of Houston Architects had been hired to redesign the project, which he feels is a very fine plan. He reviewed the reduction in density from 156 units to 126 units. He elaborated on the provision of parking, landscape plan, and other changes which he felt would enhance the project. He urged Council approval of the proposed development. Council discussion ensued regarding whether or not Planning Commission should con- sider and make recommendations on the changes made to the proposed project. Mr. Harris advised there is not the urgency for approval of the application as first thought, as the remaining growth management permits had been issued this date so there are none remaining for other projects at this time. It was moved by Councilmember Mercer, and seconded by Councilmember Mohr, not to act on the appeal of Meadow Plaza Associates at this time, and to refer PUD-83-3, the application of Meadow Plaza Associates for PUD zoning and development plan approval for a 126 unit multi-family residential project proposed for the approximately six acre site located east and south of the Exxon service station at the southeast corner of We~t Las Positas Boulevard and Santa Rita Road, back to the Planning Commission 4. 4/12/83
