Public Comment Carrie Cox, Pleasanton resident since 1982 and small business owner of Pleasanton since 1984 spoke about Johnson Drive Economic Development Zone. This project is to change zoning allowing the development of big retail stores such as Costco. Ms. Cox stated allowing such development would impact the growth of small businesses and the tax revenue gained from the retails stores would be offset by loss of revenue and jobs from existing small business owners. Ms. Cox requested that the City expand on their communication regarding this project to residents and business of regarding the magnitude of such a project as she believes that the residents and business owners are not aware of the impact such project will have on Johnson Drive Don Maday, Pleasanton small business owner stated he attended a meeting regarding the Johnson Drive project as well as reviewed the supplemental and environmental impact reports. He also asked that notices and information regarding the Johnson Drive project be sent to a much broader area. He requested that the city study the impacts on small businesses by adding club retail, such as Costco and that the city not continue with this project without traffic mitigation being in place as this project will create major traffic issues.
