PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF PLEASANTON COUNTY OF ALAMEDA STATE OF CALIFORNIA RESOLUTION N0. 1467 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF PLEASANTON RECOMMENDING TO THE CITY COUNCIL DENIAL OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDMENT TO REZONE THOSE PROPERTIES UNDER REZONING APPLICATION RZ-76-18. WHEREAS, the City Council initiated an ordinance amendment to rezone those properties located north of Vineyard Avenue south of the Arroyo del Valle from First Street east to the City Limit line (except for the Baptist Church pro- perty on First Street) from the RM-1500 District and RM-2500 District to the RM-4000 District, and two parcel: located on the south side of Vineyard Avenue between Adams Way and Mavis Drive from the RM-2500 District to the R-1-6500 District; and WHEREAS, this action was taken as a result of the City Council initiated Vineyard Avenue Land Use Study which analyzed traffic and parking problems on that street; and WHEREAS, a public hearing was held by the Planning Commission on November 10, 1976, to review this application; and WHEREAS, considerable testimony, documents and maps were reviewed by the Planning Commission; and (WHEREAS, the Planning Commission made the following findings: 1. That rezoning the properties to a lower density would not be acceptable because those property owners on Vineyard Avenue were invited to join an assessment district for the purpose of providing public facilities for the area, and have paid for years towards these facilities and now find they may not be able to develop their properties as originally expected; 2. That reduction of density on Vineyard Avenue would not alleviate the existing traffic problems on that street. 3. That the question of future residential development further east in the Vintage Hills area has not been meaningfully addressed and no provisions have been made at this time to alleviate increased traffic flow on Vineyard Avenue, should these properties be developed.
