GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT STUDY FOR A
0.55 +/- ACRE PROPERTY IDENTIFIED AS APN: 200-152-005
(OFFENHARTZ - OWNER/APPLICANT)
WHEREAS, Doug Oftenhartz (Owner/Applicant) has submitted a request for
authorization to initiate a General Plan Amendment Study for the 0.55 +/- acre property
located at 485 La Gonda Way (APN: 200-152-005); and
WHEREAS, the subject site is identified in the General Plan for Residential - Single
Family - Low Density (1-3 units/net acre) and the proposed land use would require a
change to a Commercial - Limited Office designation; and
WHEREAS, the Town of Danville requires Town Council authorization prior to the
preparation of General Plan Amendment Studies; and
WHEREAS, the request was initially scheduled to be considered at the Town
Council meeting of December 4, 1990; and
WHEREAS, the original size of the proposed General Plan Amendment Study was
reduced due to a decision by the adjoining property owner to not participate in the
request (the 1.14 +/- acre Flynn property- APN: 200-152-004); and
WHEREAS, at the Town Council hearing on December 4, 1990 the Town Council
received a request from Doug Oftenhartz to continue the subject request due to Flynn's
decision; and
WHEREAS, the subject request was considered by the Town Council at their
meeting of February 5, 1991; and
PAGE 1 OF RESOLUTION NO. 37-91
WHERF~S, a staff report was submitted recommending that the Town Council take
one of two possible actions, as follows;
Option 1 - Deny the request for authorization to initiate a General Plan Amendment
Study for the 0.55 +/- acre Oftenhartz property.
and;
Option 2 - Expand the area of review for the General Plan Amendment Study to
include surrounding properties and continue the matter to the Town Council
meeting of March 5, 1991, to allow staff to prepare a draft scope of study for the
expanded General Plan Amendment Study.
WHERF~S, the Town Council did hear and consider all reports, recommendations,
and testimony submitted in writing and presented at the hearing;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Town Council of the Town of Danville
that the Town Council hereby determines that Option I is the appropriate action and
denies the authorization to initiate a General Plan Amendment Study; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED that this decision is based on the following findings:
.
Due to the proximity of the subject site to surrounding residential
properties, a Limited Office land use may have adverse impacts on
surrounding properties (due to land use compatibility considerations and
circulation considerations).
.
The Danville 2005 General Plan recommends that office development in the
E1 Cerro Planning Area be large lot office redevelopment, resulting from the
consolidation of small parcels along La Gonda Way (Chapter 4, Section A.
20). An action to consider redesignating a small property (0.55 +/- acres),
isolated property for office use would be inconsistent with the intent of the
General Plan.

,
The subject site is relatively small (0.55 +/- acre), and is not an adequate
size to be considered a large lot office redevelopment site.
