WATANABE:I’m not particularly opposed to that. On the other hand I’m not sure I <br />know how to word that because we did, as you recall, pass a landscaping ordinance. It might be <br />more effective to just ask the Director for some direction as far as, you know, what level of <br />landscaping we would require so that, you know -. In other words, I don’t want to micro-manage <br />this whole process. Let’s make it something broad enough that there is enough flexibility that <br />they can make it aesthetically appealing and still efficient for their purposes. <br />ALAMEDA:Anybody has suggested language on that, Commissioner Siracusa? <br />GALDONES:Mr. Chair? <br />ALAMEDA:Commissioner Galdones. <br />WATANABE:I, you know, like I said I’m not opposed to what you’re suggesting. It’s <br />just I’m not sure how you would word that in. <br />ALAMEDA:Commissioner Galdones. <br />GALDONES:Thank you, Mr. Chair. The opposition or the concern that I’m hearing <br />from Commissioner Iwashita, although he did make an indication that it would be more <br />palliative that something be done to obstruct the view of the parking, but what I’m hearing from <br />him, I don’t think that is his major concern. I think it’s the Community Development Plan in <br />itself that he is concerned with. So I don’t feel comfortable introducing an amendment and <br />Commissioner Iwashita is still not satisfied with the presentation. If he still is in opposition <br />because of what had mentioned, there is no Community Development Plan, then my <br />recommendation is that we should not introduce that amendment to it. That would be my <br />response to what Commissioner Siracusa had mentioned. <br />ALAMEDA:Commissioner Watanabe? <br />WATANABE:Okay, with that in mind, then let me make an attempt to a motion; and <br />let’s see if we can get something going here. I move that a favorable recommendation be <br />forwarded to the County Council on Hirayama Brothers Electric, Inc. change of zone application <br />(REZ 06-000034) with the added condition that the height limitation be restricted to the <br />Residential limit of 35 feet. <br />ALAMEDA:Motion made by Commissioner Watanabe. <br />GALDONES:I’ll second. <br />ALAMEDA:Seconded by Commissioner Galdones. Discussion? Seeing none, staff. <br />HAYASHI:Thank you, Mr. Chair. The new condition regarding the height limitation <br />would be Condition D, and all subsequent conditions will be realphabetized. With that, I’ll call <br />the roll call. Commissioner Watanabe? <br />WATANABE:Aye. <br />12EXHIBIT A <br /> <br />
