Mr. Joseph Madden, 3851 Vineyard Avenue, applicant, presented a schematic drawing of the proposed development. He stated there would be eight six-plex units and the development would be consistent with requirements of setback and parking. Mr. Madden stated that permanent access to the property would eventually be on Vine Street but until such time as Vine Street is completed he would provide access on his property that is adjacent to Mr. Medeiros. Mr. Madden stated he felt his property was unique, that there was adequate service area for emergency equipment access and turn around, that he would keep the construction costs as low as pos- sible, and that at this time he did not know if the proposed project would be developed as rental units or condominiums. There being no further testimony, ~yor Brandes declared the public hearing closed on the application and the negative declaration. It was moved by Councilmember Mercer, and seconded by Councilmember Wood, that Resolution No. 79-237, determining on the basis of a review of initial environmental study done for this project, that no significant environmental impact would occur as outlined in the City's guidelines and that a Negative Declaration is appropriate to rezone the 2.0 acre site located at 3851 Vineyard Avenue from the RM-4000 (Mul- tiple Residential, 10 units/acre) to the RM-1500 (Multiple Residential, 29 units/ acre) District, be adopted. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmen Butler, Kephart, Mercer, Wood, and Mayor Brandes NOES: None ABSENT: None Councilmember Butler stated that he voted originally to decrease density on this property because of the traffic situation on Vineyard Avenue. He stated he felt it would be inappropriate to reverse that decision until such time as positive steps are taken relating to traffic on Vineyard, however, due to the lack of low income housing in Pleasanton he felt it would be proper to approve the project but not allow it to proceed until there was a better traffic route from Pico Extension. After discussion, it was moved by Councilmember Wood, and seconded by Council- member Butler, to approve the application of Joseph E. Madden to fezone the 2.0 acre site located at 3851 Vineyard Avenue from the RM-4000 (Multiple Residential, 10 units/acre) to the RM-1500 (Multiple Residential, 29 units/acre) District. After further discussion, it was moved by Councilmember Butler, and seconded by ~yor Brandes, to amend the motion to include a condition that no building per- mits be issued for structures on the property until such time as there is a con- nection from Pico Avenue to Stanley Boulevard. The roll call vote was as follows:. AYES: Councilmen Butler, Kephart, Wood, and Mayor Brandes NOES: Councilman Mercer ABSENT: None Mr. Madden stated he never mentioned that this project would be only apartments; he stated he talked of multiples only. He agreed to the condition that the develop- ment cannot be constructed before Pico Avenue Extension is completed, and he re- iterated that he did not know if the development would be rentals or condominiums. It was moved by Mayor Brandes, and seconded by Councilmember Butler, that Ordinance No. 920, be read by title only and waive further reading thereof. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmen Butler, Kephart, Mercer, Wood, and Mayor Brandes NOES: None ABSENT: None 5. 11/27/79
