Submitted On:Jun 16, 2026, 10:46AM PDT <br />City Council Regular Meeting - Submit your <br />written public comment <br />City of Pleasanton <br />Full Name First Name: John <br />Last Name: Carroll <br />Email (this entry is disclosable if included) <br />Meeting type Regular Meeting - 7 pm <br />Agenda Item Number 20 <br />Comments It is my understanding that City planning staff concluded that the proposed franchise-style signage is <br />inconsistent with adopted policies encouraging attractive, context-sensitive design and discouraging <br />prominent franchise branding in key Downtown locations. <br />Please demand the Shell applicant to modify their signage to better reflect the standards that would be <br />more appropriate for our community. <br />I want to thank City Staff for their diligent and outstanding work in trying to preserve our community by <br />upholding the guidelines provided in our General Plan. <br />Our City Staff recommendations should not be ignored or disregarded for the benefit of the applicant. Tell <br />the applicant to go back to the drawing board and create signage that is better conforming to our General <br />Plan standards. <br />Once we allow one applicant to have an exception to our General Plan standards we enter onto a slippery <br />slope where others will try to abuse our guidelines. Please take a stand to follow our General Plan <br />guidelines, and preserve our community for the next generation. <br />Please do not allow yet another Chamber of Commerce show of clowns deter you from your duty to follow <br />the General Plan guidelines!
