SUBJECT: Hearing on application by R.S.B. Company (applicant) to
amend the Land Use Element of the County General Plan
(24-85-CO) , Pacheco area
On July 8, 1986, the Board continued to this date the
hearing on the recommendation of the County Planning Commission with
respect to the application filed by R.S.B. Company (applicant) to
amend the Land Use Element of the County General Plan for approxima-
tely two acres of land in the Pacheco area from Limited Office to
Multiple Family Residential High Density; and
James Cutler, Community Development Department, commented
that he had gone out and met with the community. He had attended
the Pacheco Town Council.
The Chair read comments presented for Board consideration
from the following people:
David Hanna, 995 Temple Drive, Pacheco, in opposition to
the General Plan Amendment;
Paul Robinson, 986 Temple Drive, Pacheco, requesting that
the General Plan Amendment request be denied and the zoning con-
tinued 0-1 ;
The follwing people appeared to give testimony before the
Board:
R. Scott Bonds, 135 Cambridge Way, Piedmont, representing
the applicant, spoke on the fact that residential was the best use
for this property. It is surrounded by residential development. He
commented that medium density was the minimal density for develop-
ment at this time. The problem of access seemed to be the major
problem.
Chad Crutcher, 2 Chester Court, Pacheco, commented that he
was not opposed to the Amendment, but was concerned with the impact
of residential on traffic, especially on the weekends when the resi-
dents are at home. He would like to see no access to the project
from Temple Drive. He encouraged pedestrian linkage so as not to
wall off the project. He also encouraged a strong landscape buffer
for privacy.
Donna J. Davidson, 1000 Temple Drive, Pacheco,
Vice-President of the Pacheco Town Council, commented that she has
turned in a petition to the Community Development Department from
concerned people who like their single family residential area the
way it is. She commented on having a problem being notified and
that they would like the area left 0-1 . .
Sharon Hanna, 995 Temple Drive, Pacheco, spoke in opposi-
tion to the General Plan Amendment.
R. Scott Bonds spoke in rebuttal. He commented that he
felt the best use of the land would be residential and that the
major problems seemed to be access and that it would not be the best
idea to burden Pacheco Boulevard solely with the access for the pro-
ject but to use Temple as well.
The Chairman closed the public hearing.
The Board discussed the General Plan Amendment applica-
tion. Supervisor McPeak recommended that the matter be deferred for
one week for decision.
IT IS BY THE BOARD ORDERED that decision on the proposed
General Plan Amendment requested by R.S.B. Company in the Pacheco
area is DEFERRED to July 29 , 1986 on the determination calendar.
I hereby certify that this Is a true and correct copy of
an action taken anti entered on the adrutes of the
Board of Supervisors on the date shown.
