~peal of Robert PearsOn, et al, of a decision of the City Plannin~ Commission ~anting a conditional use permit for limited warehousing purposes at 3701-23 Old Sanua Rita Road (UP-79-15) Mr. Harris presented his report dated August 13, 1979, regarding this matter. Mayor Brandes declared the public bearing open. Mr. Robert M. Pearson, 3590 Churchill Court, stated he appealed this'matter because of the 26 homes that back up to Santa Rita Road and he felt this applica- tion would increase truck traffic which would threaten the health, safety and wel- fare of these people. He reviewed the background of the commercial development as well as truck traffic in this area, and urged the Council not to grant any additional permits for uses that would increase truck traffic until such time as a frontage road is constructed for proper access to the commercial area. Mr. Lowell Beasley, 3673 Cambridge Court, stated he concurred with Mr. Pearson in opposing any increase of truck traffic on Santa Rita Road. The following persons spoke in opposition to this appeal: Mr. Joe Madden, 3851 Vineyard Avenue, owner of the warehouses, stated he con- curred with the staff report. He stated the 3 use permits would generate no more than 10 truck trips per day which he felt was insignificant. Mr. Madden presented a letter from one of the proposed lessors, Kilpatrick's Bakeries, Inc., dated August 23, 1979., requesting no more delays, and urging immediate approval of the permits. Mr. Brad Hirst, 2456 Minivet Court, stated that Santa Rita Road had been planned for years as a major arterial road into Pleasanton and that there will be increased truck traffic on this street. He stated that to be concerned about an additional 10 trucks per day that this permit would generate was redundant. Mr. Robert Pearson rebutted that Santa Rita Road is a threat to the 26 homes that back up to this street; that the value of property is also affected; and that something should be done to alleviate the problem. There being no further testimony, Mayor Brandes declared the public hearing closed. Mr. Harris advised that truck traffic was already assessed when the.Negative ' Declaration was prepared for this project and it was determined that an increase of 10 trucks per day would not adversely impact the environment. After discussion, it was moved by Councilmember Mercer, and seconded by Council- member Butler, to deny the appeal of Robert Pearson, et al, of a decision of the City Planning Commission granting a conditional use permit for limited warehousing purposes at 3701-23 Old Santa Rita Road (UP-79-15). The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmen Butler and Mercer NOES: Councilman Wood and Mayor Brandes ABSENT: Councilman Kephart Mayor Brandes stated that due to the split vote he would declare the public hearing reopened on this item and continued to the meeting of September 11, 1979, 8:00 P.M., at the Fairgrounds Cafeteria, for full Council attendance. 20. 8/28/79
