Miscellaneous Matter of: PD-89-10; Appeal of Applicant, Signature Properties. Inc. . from Planning Commission Denial of Planned Unit Development (General Development and Precise Development Plan Combined); a Proposal to Construct 126 Detached, Single-Family Residential Units on the 60-Acre Site Formerly Occupied by the San Leandro Rock Quarry; Assessor's Parcel Numbers 79-100-001, 002; 13575 Lake Chabot Road; Signature Properties, Inc. ; Alameda County - "A" (Agricultural ). Mayor Karp explained that tonight's meeting was a continuation of the June 3, 1991 City Council meeting, which had resulted in a tie vote on this matter. He said the City Council had closed the matter for public testimony. He said the purpose of tonight's meeting was for the presentation of further information to the City Council for its deliberation and debate. City Attorney Steve Meyers said the City Council had considered three actions at the June 3, 1991 meeting: 1) the matter of certification of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the project, 2) the matter of prezoning of the property, and 3) the appeal of the Planning Commission's denial of the Planned Development. He said the City Council approved the EIR and the pre-zoning, but a proposal to approve the General Development Plan and Precise Development Plan for PD-89-10 resulted in a tie vote, which is the same as no action. He said under conditions of the City's Zoning Code, after a public hearing, the City Council may approve or deny an application. Failure to take action within 30 days constitutes disapproval . The 30 day deadline in this instance would be July 3, 1991 . He said the City Clerk has been directed to list this item on the City Council agenda until the 30 days period is concluded, which would be July 3, 1991 , or until some action is taken. He said since the public hearing has been concluded, the City Council cannot hear public testimony without reopening the public hearing. He said if the City Council wished to make substantive changes to the project, it would be necessary to refer the project back to the Planning Commission for additional consideration. He said all required legal notice of the meeting had been given. June Catalano, Planning & Building Director, discussed the outstanding planning issues related to the project. She said the City Council had approved the EIR and prezoning and now had to decide how to implement those actions. She said the City had retained three independent technical experts to address geology and structural issues which were of concern to the City Council . The City Council asked questions related to the requirement for installation of two 24" box trees at each home, where would they be in relationship to lake view, and whether they would create a buffer of the view of the project from Lake Chabot. They asked if the common area would be fully landscaped. The City Council asked what penalties would be imposed if properties owners removed any required landscaping.
