385 The following persons spoke in opposition to the item: Ms. Lori Burns, 2196 Tanager Court, stated that Tanager Court is too narrow to handle any increase of traffic into the subject property. She stated she opposed apartment complexes this near to a residential area; that Pleasanton has enough land to provide apartment housing away from residential areas. Mr. Harris advised that no development plans have been submitted for this property; the application is re- quired in order to bring the property in conformance with the General Plan. Ms. Burns requested the item be continued for further review of the rezoning to single- family residential only. Ms. Julie Larson, Tanager Court, stated she concurred with the previous speaker and that most people on Tanager Court feel the same. She stated that approval of this application could effect their property values, degrade the integrity and qua- lity of the neighborhood, and adversely impact their life style. She stated she would like the area rezoned single-family residential, 1-story dwellings. There being no further testimony, Mayor Butler declared the public hearing closed on the application and the negative declaration. Councilmember Mercer stated he was concerned about ingress and egress to the property and traffic flows on Santa Rita Road and Valley Avenue.

Mayor Butler suggested putting this property in a Study District to allow further review of the zoning. Councilmember Mercer stated he favored changing the General Plan designation for this area.
