<br />MINUTES <br />OF THE <br />LAND USE JOINT WORKSHOP NO.6 <br />OF THE <br />CITY COUNCIL AND PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> <br />March 1, 2006 <br /> <br />1. CALL TO ORDER <br /> <br />The joint workshop was called to order by Mayor Jennifer Hosterman at 6:36 p.m. <br /> <br />Those in attendance were as follows: City Councilmembers Steve Brozosky, Cindy <br />McGovern, Matt Sullivan, Jerry Thorne and Mayor Hosterman; Planning Commissioners Ann <br />Fox, Trish Maas, Mary Roberts and Jennifer Pearce. Staff members present were: Nelson <br />Fialho, City Manager; Michael Roush, City Attorney; Jerry Iserson, Director of Planning and <br />Community Services; Janice Stern, Principal Planner. <br /> <br />Planning Commissioners Brian Arkin and Phil Blank were absent. <br /> <br />2. Land Use Workshoo No.6: Prooerties in the West Side of Pleasanton and other areas <br />(SR 06:065) <br /> <br />Jerry Iserson presented the opening remarks. <br /> <br />Janice Stern presented staff report. <br /> <br />Jennifer Pearce indicated the total acreage on Attachment 3 was different from the total <br />acreage in the staff report and asked about the discrepancy. <br /> <br />Ms. Stern said they were taken from GIS and should be comparable. <br /> <br />Ms. Pearce then asked for clarification of the taking of property, specifically the two <br />houses on the slope of the Lester property. <br /> <br />Ms. Stern responded that if there is a remaining use for a site, it is not considered to be <br />a taking of a site; for instance, if there can be one or two units or grazing uses left. It also <br />depends on how a rule is applied. If the 25% rule is applied eliminating areas on just one <br />property, it might be suspicious looking. However, if it is applied to all properties within a class, <br />then that is defensible. <br /> <br />Ann Fox believed most of the land zoned public and institutional in Pleasanton is already <br />developed. She wondered if staff had identified all existing vacant parcels that are zoned public <br />and institutional? She referred to Child Care Links and noted the number of children going <br />outside the city for childcare and the possible numbers of children coming from future housing <br />developments who will need to use childcare facilities. She wondered what amount of public <br />and institutional land should be reserved for the future needs of childcare facilities? <br />
