the property site and its history. He explained that the building

only way that the applicant can continue the use as a real estate
office is to have the General Plan amended and the property rezoned
for office use.

T.7
Supervisor Schroder commented that if he were asked to
recommend at this time on the General Plan Amendment to allow the
sales office to remain, he would recommend against it based on the
staff recommendation and the recommendation of the San Ramon Valley
Area Planning Commission. He wished, however, to give the applicant
a fair hearing due to long time use. He wished to give further con-
sideration to the relationship between the sales office and the
Union Oil Company property sales and the 160 cards that had been
submitted by Carol Keating resulting from a mailing to the
homeowners in Roundhill by Geldermann Realty. He wished to continue
the matter to allow site visits and time to look at the cards from
the homeowners, copies of which were presented to the Clerk in the
Boardroom and are on record with the Clerk. He recommended continuing
the matter to July 22, 1986 at 10:30 a.m.
On the recommendation of Supervisor Schroder, IT IS BY THE
BOARD ORDERED that the hearing is CONTINUED to July 22, 1986 at
10:30 a.m. and written comments are also invited on this subject.
I hereby certify that this Is a true and correct copy of
an action taken and entered on the minutes of the
Board of Supervisor on the date shown.
