'417 Councilmember Mercer requested that a condition be added to require all buildings to come before City Council for approval. Mr. Terrill stated the uses previously approved in the park, and the design will not change; the concept is the same, and that existing conditions are acceptable to Reynolds and Brown. He stated he is concerned about getting the intersection to happen and would not like to tie up their project because of this. He also expressed concern that the assessment district is a City project under City control. The following persons spoke in opposition to this item. Mr. John Innes, 1586 Foothill Road, stated he had grave concerns about develop- ment of the North Pleasanton area but that other people do not seem concerned. He stated there is a traffic problem at the Hopyard/3ohnson intersection now. He stated he is concerned that the City Council is going after the North Pleasanton area in a piecemeal way; he felt the total area should be reviewed at one time. He requested that the North Pleasanton area be put in one major environmental impact report to achieve a better balanced community, and not approve projects in a piecemeal fashion until the overall picture is known. Mr. Paul Ebright, 5416 Blackbird Way, stated he concurred with the previous speaker. He stated he had presented a response to the Hacienda Business Park En- vironmental Impact Report. He asked for a review of the General Plan, stating it has been revised so many times that the City does not have a General Plan any more. He stated that citizens need input in Pleasanton. He stated that residents are not properly informed when items which affect them are being considered by Council. Councilmember Mercer stated that a citizens review committee had reviewed the General Plan last year. Mr. Ebright requested a copy of the members who were on this.com- mittee. The City Manager was instructed to send Mr. Ebright this list. Ms. Lee Baker, 3033 Yuma Way, stated that any.industrial development will alter her present life style; she was concerned about traffic impacts, and felt the total project is too overwhelming for the community at this time. Mr. David Pastor, 3613 Hawaii Court South, stated he was concerned about any increase in traffic and felt the goal should be to correct this situation. Mr. Terrill stated that several traffic engineers had made studies to see if the im- provements were necessary and all agreed that they were. Mr. Joe Callahan, representing Hacienda Business Park, applauded Reynolds and Brown for taking the lead and to materially improve the long term needs of Hopyard Road for the citizens of Pleasanton. Mr. Callahan stated that there has been con- siderable misunderstanding about the Hacienda Business Park Environmental Impact Report, which considered the entire North Pleasanton area. He stated he would be willing to meet with anyone that commented tonight and give them backup material. Mr. Larry Moyer, 2142 Goldcrest Circle, expressed concern regarding the width of Hopyard Road as it comes off the interchange, and wondered if sufficient right- of-way were available. Staff explained that sufficient right-of-way will be avail- able with some additional widening which would not entail moving existing structures north of Johnson Drive. There being no further testimony, Mayor Butler declared the public hearing closed on the application and the mitigated negative declaration. 8. 5/ll/S2
