DRAFT <br /> particular building has yet to be constructed. He noted that the economy had a lot to do <br /> with it, but he stated that he is not sure in the years in advance of that, that the City had a <br /> lot of expansions. He indicated that the City hopes to have some, but he does not see this <br /> as an explosion of opportunities. <br /> Mr. Dolan stated that in terms of minimum size, the City is purposely flexible. He indicated <br /> that it is correct that a traditional plaza has to have a certain size before it really means <br /> anything that accomplishes that, but staff wants to leave open the possibility of other <br /> amenities. He noted that he does not even have an example of that but that he thinks there <br /> is probably something there. He added that if it is a smaller area, the opportunity cost is <br /> going to be smaller, and that works out. <br /> Commissioner Ritter agreed. <br /> THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. <br /> There were no speakers. <br /> THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. <br /> Commissioner Ritter moved find that the proposed Code amendment would not have <br /> a significant effect on the environment and to recommend approval of the Negative <br /> Declaration prepared for the project, and to recommend approval to the City Council <br /> of Case P13-2458, the proposed amendments to Chapter 18.88 (Off-Street Parking <br /> Facilities) of the Pleasanton Municipal Code, as shown in Exhibit A of the staff <br /> report. <br /> Commissioner Posson seconded the motion. <br /> Chair Olson requested that all the letters and emails the Commission received for this item <br /> be included in the packet to the City Council. <br /> Commissioner Allen inquired if the Commission would like to include a recommendation <br /> about funding that was brought up earlier. <br /> Commissioner Pearce indicated that she would not want that in the motion. She stated that <br /> she is really uncomfortable about dictating how funding is allocated. She noted that this is <br /> supposed to come with flexibility, and she does not want to tie one's hands with regard to <br /> funding. <br /> Chair Olson and Commissioners Posson and Ritter agreed. <br /> DRAFT EXCERPT: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, 1/8/2014 Page 9 of 11 <br />
