Councilmember Sullivan reported that he opposed the original Centex plan around 1999 because of visibility and grading, but this is a vast improvement. He said these improvements are similar to the Berloger's plan modifications and is consistent. The grading makes this a better fit than the original site. Adopting some of the Green Building Guidelines is also a helpful and progressive move that all developers in Pleasanton could be doing. Councilmember McGovern noted a voting discrepancy on page 13 of 13. Ms. Decker agreed to follow-up and correct the appropriate document. Councilmember McGovern reiterated her request for the new plan to fit within the Vineyard Corridor Specific Plan, look at the grading and include native landscaping. Motion: It was m/s by Sullivan/Cook-Kallio to introduce and waive first reading of Ordinance No. 1982 approving PUD-05-02M application for a major modification to an approved PUD development plan to replace the approved production home designs with design guidelines at the property located at 1944 Vineyard Avenue, in the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan Area.

Councilmember McGovern reported that both Dublin and Livermore took a stand on the idea of the State taking money away from cities and passed resolutions. Vice Mayor Thorne agreed it was important and suggested agendizing a resolution on the matter. The Council agreed in joining the other cities in adopting a resolution making it clear that raiding city coffers should not be used to balance the State budget. Councilmember Cook-Kallio reported she has contacted assembly members and state senators that represent the city and received answers of agreement back. They could use the support that a resolution might offer.
