update. We want to work on this and to hear from the community to address the needs and challenges we are faced with. A transit village near the BART is something that we should continue to explore. Ms. Hosterman asked if that could be done without creating another process outside of the General Plan process? That was her concern. She did not want to give carte blanche to the Livable Communities people to work with staff and have that develop into something that takes on a life of its own and goes in a particular direction, then have the community engage in the same topic and issues. She recognized the expertise of the Livable Communities staff and invited them to be included in the process. Mr. Brozosky said there will be many sessions on various topics, such as the east side study. He did not see this as being different and could be included with reviews of other parts of the City. He agreed there should not be parallel tracks. Ms. Ayala agreed with the staff recommendation and wanted to make certain the homeowners associations in the business park are included. She felt this was a big job with a lot of different groups to please. Ms. McKeehan agreed this should be done in coordination with the General Plan. This effort could take as long as the General Plan review all by itself. However, there is a very tight timeline for the General Plan review and if anything takes longer, this could be that piece. Mayor Pico did not believe a specific plan was being created. The goal was to find modifications or updates to the General Plan concepts or a new development agreement for the business park. Mr. Brozosky felt the plans for the business park need to remain very conceptual at this point. Ms. Ayala said there is a 29,000 unit cap for housing, so a decision has to be made on where the remaining housing will be built. Then the General Plan can proceed. It was moved by Ms. Ayala, seconded by Mr. Brozosky, to direct staff to continue to work with the Livable Communities Initiative, including participation by the Hacienda Owners' Association, the Pleasanton Unified School District, other groups, and the community, on reviewing development opportunities of the Hacienda Park as part of the upcoming General Plan update process. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers - Ayala, Brozosky, Campbell, Hosterman, and Mayor Pieo NOES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None Pleasanton City Council 25 05/20/03 Minutes
