PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF PLEASANTON COUNTY OF ALAMEDA STATE OF CALIFORNIA RESOLUTION NO. 1596 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF PLEASANTON RECOMMENDING TO THE CITY COUNCIL THE DENIAL OF GP-76-6, AN APPLICATION BY THOMAS K. MCMANUS FOR A GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT CHANGING THE LAND USE DESIGNATION FOR 66 ACRES ADJACENT TO PLEASANTON'S YOUTH SPORTS PARK. WHEREAS, Thomas K. McManus, has applied for a general plan amendment to change the land use designation of approximately 66 acres of land located between the Youth Sports Park and the Arroyo Mocho immediately east of Hopyard Road from "Parks and Recreation" to "Medium Density Residential;" and WHEREAS, in conjunction with this review, the Planning Commission made the finding that the environmental impact report prepared for this project meets the requirements of CEQA and the state guidelines; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission set and held on December 14, 1977 a public hearing on the environmental impacts of the proposed amendment; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission approved the Environmental Impact Report and noted the significant adverse effects of the proposal, as well as the alternatives and mitigation measures available; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission set and held on December 14, 1977 a public hearing on the proposed amendment to the General Plan; and WHEREAS, the Commission received testimony of the public, including the applicant's representative, and a staff report and other pertinent material; and WHEREAS, the Commission concluded therefrom that the most appropriate use for the site is for the future expansion of the Youth Sports Park adjacent to it in that the logical expansion of the Park would be on the subject property, the impacts of existing park make subject property less desirable for residential uses due to noise and activity in the park; and the loss of acreage from future park use would reduce the amount of land available for park use to a level below that specified in the Pleasanton General Plan; and WHEREAS, the Commission concluded that the General Plan land use designation of "Parks and Recreation" is appropriate and should not be changed at this time.
