the decision of the Contra Costa County Planning Commission approving
the request by Merle Gilliland (applicant) and Treat Corners

Supervisor McPeak advised the Board that they have had
information submitted to them that the current Pleasant Hill BART
Station area at 3. 2 million square feet would meet the planning
objective of one hundred percent capacity and further cited awareness
that there is some sentiment of the BART Board to perhaps reduce the
density at the BART Station. She commented on the positive
discussions taking place with the City of Walnut Creek relative to
cooperative planning and expressed a need for continuing discussion.
The public hearing was closed.

the City of Walnut Creek and approving the recommendations of the
Planning Commission.

Karl Wandry, Community Development Department, requested that the
motion be amended to have the Board declare its intent to deny the

with final documentation to be brought back next week for the Board' s
consideration.
Therefore, IT IS BY THE BOARD ORDERED that the Board of
Supervisors hereby DECLARES ITS INTENT to DENY the appeals of the
