Union City officials approved a plan letting Tina Handlen care for three mentally retarded foster children in her home without a city use permit, with final action by the planning commission next Wednesday. The council also rescinded a reprint directive for the Southern Alameda County directory and will treat foster care as a permitted residential use with annual registrations.

ABAG Reports Bay Area Agricultural Losses to Urban Growth
Alameda County alone lost 36 percent of cultivated land to urbanization during 1960 to 1956, according to an ABAG Agricultural Resources study. A third of prime Bay Area farmland is already urbanized, the report notes. It urges planners to weigh economic and social costs and benefits when choosing to develop or protect land, proposes two agricultural zoning groups, and highlights open space value for ecology, tourism, and scenery.
