Councilman Rega asked Mr. Castro for clarification on the number of parking spaces for on-street and guest parking for this development. Mr. Castro stated that this tract contained 45 spaces for guest parking and 71 spaces can be provided for on-street parking and this amount, with the 234 unit parking spaces, will total 350 spaces. and will provide 2.9 parking spaces per unit. Discussion ensued regarding on-street parking. Mr. Fales explained that the streets within this development were private streets and did not constitute the on-street parking concept. Councilman Rega stated that this concept is much better than achieving higher density using apartments and since it does comply with the City's General plan he is in favor of the concept. He went on to say that several other factors must be considered to assure a balanced community for both the short and long range of Pleasanton's development. The General Plan does not include a timing dimension or mention the rate of growth. For this reason, Councilmen must take into consideration the impact on the community in terms of when a development occurs. He stated that because of present environmental conditions and because rezon- ing to a higher density contributes to rapid growth, this proposal would adversely effect smog conditions; can possibly contribute to a serious shortage of class- room space for schools if the school bond election on December 16th and the State election in June. 1970, to authorize higher interest rates should fail; and it iMpairs the City's financial ability to cope with operational requirements to hire sufficient employees, or make ade~late capital expenditures in a timely fashion to keep pace with rapid growth. He said he believed it would be more appropriate to consider this zoning re- quest in one or two years. Councilman Spiliotopoulos reported that he had visited a development of this type located in the Los Angeles area and was very impressed with this concept. He also pointed out that the private streets within the tract would be maintained by the property owners and would. therefore, pose no improvement or maintenance costs for the City of Pleasanton. Councilman Reid stated that he felt this townhouse design concept was a very imaginative proposal and one of the best land use concepts that has been presented to the Council in years. Councilman Beratlis stated that he was in favor of the private streets concept, and also felt that it was a good land use for this property. After continued discussion. it was moved by Councilman Spiliotopoulos and seconded by Councilman Beratlis that Resolution No. 69-280, approving the Pre- liminary Tentative Map and Tentative Development plan for Tract No. 3158. located in that area known as the southerly side of Hopyard Road, east of Tract No. 3048, containing approximately 16 acres. be adopted.
