Mr. Campbell was also concerned about overturning the Planning Commission, <br />but in reading the mimRes, he felt that the Commission was uncomfortable changing the <br />use and simply wanted the Council to make the decision. <br /> <br /> Mayor Pico believed the commission wanted a study to be done. He agreed with <br />that request. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ayala believed that if Council is serious about affordable housing, then every <br />piece of property that comes before Council should be considered for this use. There are <br />limited opportunities for this. She reiterated that there are four million square feet of <br />office space not yet built and she didn't think the city needed more. <br /> <br />Mr. Campbell questioned building apartments on Hopyard Road. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ayala felt locating high density housing near the Business Park was a good <br />idea. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti felt residential units on Hopyard was inappropriate. The General <br />Plan designates what this property should be used for. The residential uses in Hacienda <br />· are clustered in one location and are near the BART station. She felt what Ms. Ayala was <br />proposing was a study of all uses and to change the General Plan. She did not agree with <br /> <br /> Ms. Dennis said if there are three votes on Council to do a study, then she wanted <br />to make certain housing was included, but she preferred to go along with what is in the <br />General Plan. She believed the proposed use was feasible, consistent with the General <br />Plan, with what had been approved in the past, with the design of the Business Park and <br />will support the surrounding uses. For the uses proposed by the Planning Commission, <br />she did not think a market analysis was necessary. <br /> <br /> It was moved by Ms. Dennis, seconded by Ms. Michelotti, to adopt <br />Re~olution No. 01-028, to confirm the existing land use for the property and not to <br />conduct a market study for the site. <br /> <br />The roll call vote was as follows: <br />AYES: Couneilmembers - Campbell, Dennis, and Michelotti <br />NOES: Couneilmember Ayala and Mayor Pico <br />ABSENT: None <br />ABSTAIN: None <br /> <br /> Mayor Pico indicated the next issue would be to decide whether to approve the <br />architecture of the building or refer it to the Planning Commission for design review. <br /> <br /> It was moved by Ms. Micheiotti, seconded by Ms. Dennis, to approve the <br />architecture proposed for the building. <br /> <br />Pl~asanton City Council 18 04/03/01 <br />Minutes <br /> <br /> <br />
