Mr. Swift indicated that is a policy in the General Plan to strive to have only 350 units per year. The ordinance has a list of allocations from the year it was adopted and gradually decreasing until 2004, where it is 350 units. That is in the section that allows Council to review actual allocations each year and make modifications based on the Growth Management Report. An ordinance amendment is not necessary. Ms. Michelotti asked what would happen next year. Mr. Swift said staff is recommending 350 units this year and next year, but there will be a review in September and Council has the option to change that number. Mayor Tarver invited public testimony. Karl Geier, Miller, Starr & Regalia, 1331 No. Califomia Boulevard, Suite 500, Walnut Creek, representing New Cities Development Group, indicated his client had no objection to other developers moving their allocations to 2000 so long as there is still potential for New Cities to receive its allocation for 2000. Mr. Swift explained that when the New Cities PUD becomes effective it may request allocation at the next Council meeting. The PUD will not be effective until after a positive annexation vote for the Happy Valley area. He acknowledged that the New Cities project is designated as a major project. Mr. Geier referred to item 7 of the staff report regarding delay of consideration of the project until after annexation. He requested that Council make its determination now rather than wait. so the allocation would be available to New Cities when it is ready to proceed with its project. Ms. Michelotti asked how that related to the proposed Development Agreement with New Cities Mr. Swift said the Development Agreement included language that the New Cities application would be deemed a major project and would be allocated growth management upon approval of the annexation. Michael Harlan, 7901 Stoneridge Drive, Suite 504, representing Greenbriar Homes, supported the ordinance and staff report as presented. Regarding the earlier comment about lights at the model complex, he said the lights were not at the model homes, but were put up for safety issues and were inadvertently left on all night. He would address the problem. Jack Keane, 417 Sycamore Road, indicated he was speaking for himself and the Bachs and Severinis. He had supported the Greenbriar development, but the developer has not taken care of the items the property owners had requested. There are concems about drainage on his property and he presented a letter from the Bachs setting forth their Pleasanton City Council 21 02/15/00 Minutes
