We are concerned that <br /> by waiving in-lieu parking fees we are losing the limited opportunities available to us to build the in-lieu <br /> parking fund. By having the City fund the amount waived for the developer the community will gain a <br /> public amenity and the downtown will still be prepared to meet the parking demands of the present and <br /> the future. <br /> The Pleasanton Downtown Association appreciates your thoughtful review of this very important issue <br /> for our wonderful downtown. <br /> Best Regards, <br /> Laura Olson <br /> Executive Director <br /> Pleasanton Downtown Association <br /> cc: <br /> Nelson Fiahlo, City Manager <br /> Pamela Ott, Economic Development Director <br /> City of Pleasanton Planning Department <br /> Pleasanton Downtown Association <br /> 4725 First Street,Suite 200 <br /> Pleasanton,CA 94566 <br /> www.pleasantondowntown.net <br />
