Mayor Butler stated the issue boils down to a matter of density. He stated he could find no great fault with the project except for people being opposed to the density. He stated he felt this project meets all the normal requirements of a high density project and is properly designed. He stated he favors the project at 126 units and the bonus is that it makes the units more affordable, and provides housing that is needed in Pleasanton. Councilmember Wood stated he voted against the Orloff project because of adverse traffic impacts, and would be voting against this project because of quantity. Councilmember Mohr stated she felt the project developer deserves direction from Council as to what is appropriate for the community. She stated she will be voting against denial of the appeal and feels we are moving in the wrong direction. It was moved by Councilmember Brandes, and seconded by Councilmember Wood, that Resolution No. 83-209, denying the appeal and disapproving the application of Meadow Plaza Associates for PUD (Planned Unit Development) zoning and development plan approval for a 126 unit multi-family residential complex on an approximately six acre site located east of the Exxon Station at the southeast corner of West Las Posi- tas Boulevard and Santa Rita Road, be adopted. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers Brandes, Mercer, and Wood NOES: Councilmember Mohr and Mayor Butler ABSENT: None No action was taken on the Negative Declaration because of the action taken above relative to the appeal and application. Mr. Harris advised that the P.U.D. which remains on the property for a commercial center is now inconsistent with the General Plan designation for the property which is high-density residential. This should be corrected as soon as possible to be in conformance with the General Plan. Application of Kamp, Crouch, Kral, and Castlewood Properties,..

There were also supplement reports relative to this issue from the Director of Public Works and the Director of Recreation and Human Resources. Mr. Art Dunkley, representing Castlewood Properties, presented the Mohr Park project plans and the Mohr-Martin five acre park at the northwest corner of the pro- perty. Mr. Dunkley requested that condition No. 70 be amended to work out a solution to the maintenance of the park without going through an assessment district, such as a homeowners association. He asked that the condition be modified to provide for creation of eight zero lot size units for the park feature if a maintenance district could not legally be formed. He stated he concurs with the remainder of conditions for approval as established by staff. No one in the audience spoke in opposition to this item. There being no further testimony, Mayor Butler declared the public hearing closed on the application and the negative declaration. 9. 5/24/83
