denied and that Frumenti Development Corporation be allowed to
proceed with the development plan after which they will start the
subdivision process that would be necessary for condominums .
r
Mr . Costanzo requested that the Board continue this matter
to give the Frumenti Development Corporation an opportunity to
respond to some of the issues raised during this hearing.
Supervisor Toralskson commented that there had been
several questions raised in his mind with respect to whether there
would be a need to amend the general plan to approve a subsequent
condominium subdivision and whether the present zoning and general
plan are compatible , and thereupon recommended that the hearing be
continued for two weeks and that staff be asked to review and
respond to the issues raised .
Board members discussed the issues and questions raised .
IT IS BY THE BOARD ORDERED that this hearing is continued
to March 19 , 1985 at 2: 30 p .m.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that staff is directed to review
Supervisor Torlakson's concerns and comments and respond to the following:
1 . Consistency of the general plan in terms of a develop-
ment plan permit .
2. General Plan and General Plan Text . If Board is to
eventually find consistency with General Plan , the ambiguity con-
cerning the consitency question in the staff report needs to be
explained . The staff should develop the language suggested for
general plan amendment if the general plan is to be changed for con-
sistency.
3. Why was the General Plan changed in 1982? What addi-
tional information has been provided to change staff' s opinion?
u . Alves Lane is one of busier streets in West Pittsburg.
This project , at whatever number of units , is not the main problem.
Public Works is requested to review the question of on-street
parking, whether the road should be widened , a signal put in, and
whether it should be considered for a future road fee area. Public
Works should respond in terms of circulation and design.
Supervisor Torlakson commented that he is not opposed to
condominiums , that he believes that the applicant is trying to pro-
vide housing in an affordable price range and that high density pro-
jects of today are going to be more and more condominum housing.
I hereby certt;y that this is a true enc!corml copy of
an action taken and ontered on the mtnutes of the
Board of Soperelscro on the date shown.
