Vineyard Corridor. She could not believe how the people in Vineyard Corridor were being treated. <br /> She wanted to know if the Vineyard Corridor Specific Plan could be put on a ballot. She said let <br /> the people decide. She also wondered how the Initiative was going to affect the General Plan. She <br /> asked if information could be presented to the public that clarifies what changes will be made to the <br /> General Plan if CAPP passes. <br /> Mr. Swift said the School District is not subject to receiving City approval to develop <br /> schools. Therefore, the provisions in the Initiative do not apply to the School District and if the <br /> School Board chooses, a school could be built without infrastructure. Putting the Specific Plan on <br /> the ballot will not change the Initiative. If the Initiative passes, a General Plan amendment will <br /> need to be voted on to change the designation from agriculture and grazing back to the land uses of <br /> the existing 1996 General Plan. This could be accompanied with a Specific Plan, which, if passed, <br /> would preclude all subsequent projects from going on the ballot as well. Both a General Plan <br /> amendment and a Specific Plan would need to be put on the ballot. This could be done by a <br /> Council initiative, by the property owners petitioning the Council for a General Plan amendment <br /> and going through the regular process, or it could be done by the citizens of the Vineyard Corridor <br /> collecting signatures and putting it on the ballot directly. He said the Initiative is very complicated. <br /> If Council wishes, staff could try and put together a report that summarizes the changes to the <br /> General Plan. <br /> Mr. Roush said the Initiative states that any of the five areas that are located in the area of a <br /> Specific Plan that has been approved in a regular or special election eliminates the need for further <br /> elections for PUD's that are consistent with the Specific Plan. <br /> Ms. Michelotti said there has been much discussion as to whether the Specific Plan for the <br /> Vineyard Corridor would be vested or not. She thought once the land changes to agriculture a vote <br /> would be needed to change it back to the existing General Plan designation and then a subsequent <br /> vote on PUD's,etc. <br /> Mr. Roush said both a General Plan amendment and an adoption of a Specific Plan would <br /> be needed. Once these two events happen, then subsequent PUD's that might involve ten or more <br /> units would not have to go back to a vote so long as they are consistent with the General Plan and <br /> Specific Plan. <br /> Ms. McGovern asked if the School District could build a school in the Vineyard Corridor <br /> without constructing a new road and if the Specific Plan and General Plan amendment could be <br /> voted on together. She also asked if the CAPP Initiative passes and it is held up in litigation,would <br /> all development stop in Pleasanton or does development continue on while it is being litigated. <br /> Mr. Roush said the General Plan amendment and Specific Plan could be voted on at one <br /> time. If CAPP passes, it will become the operative document or rules upon which the City will <br /> operate, if there is no injunction that prevents the City from implementing the provisions. <br /> Therefore,development will not come to a halt,but will need to be consistent with the new General <br /> Plan provisions. <br /> Pleasanton City Council 20 08/23/99 <br /> Minutes <br />
