Include language under East Pleasanton Specific Plan that this was deferred to after the completion of the Bernal Property tasks. Commissioner Pearce inquired why it would be necessary to include this in the Land Use Element in addition to the Noise Element when the Land Use Element refers to property in Pleasanton and the Livermore Airport in not in Pleasanton. She noted that it does not coordinate with the purpose of the Land Use Element. Commissioner Blank replied that while the Airport is not in Pleasanton, the noise is. He noted that 80 percent of the complaints about the airport come from Pleasanton , and 50 percent of these complaints come from two homes in Pleasanton. He stated that he wants to ensure that as the City moves forward, it is stated clearly in Planning and disclosure documents so that when people buy homes in Pleasanton, they are aware that there is an airport in this area. He added that it describes the future of how the land will be used and that he did not think it was appropriate to talk about land use without mentioning noise which may impact the uses on that land. Commissioner Narum noted that Staples Ranch is next to the freeway which would also generate noise. She inquired where the line would be drawn. Commissioner O’Connor stated that he had no problem mentioning the airport in the Land Use Element when there is potential to build homes in big undeveloped areas.
