Amos: Peters and Ray Street. If you're looking at those two other purple parcels, that's Ray <br /> Street. <br /> Chair Ritter: Okay Ray Street. Adam said there is a top 5. Do they want more offices in the <br /> downtown? Is that what you're saying? <br /> Weinstein: No, it's just the fact that the Office district in the Specific Plan hasn't responded well <br /> to market conditions. There was a sense that there was an over-supply of office space, that <br /> maybe Office district should be more flexible or less flexible. I mean, depending on who you <br /> talk to there are very different opinions. So there is a desire to look at what purpose the Office <br /> district serves and that might change in the future. <br /> Chair Ritter: And we don't know what the City Hall/Library area would turn into should they <br /> move across the street? <br /> Weinstein: Not yet. <br /> Chair Ritter: They are zoned Office right now, right? <br /> Commissioner O'Connor: They are, so I guess that's something I was looking at. If in this <br /> analysis the civic center does not stay zoned Office, it would seem bizarre that we would have <br /> the other side of the street have a strip of office where there's no other office. <br /> Weinstein: Right, exactly. So when we re-look at the DSP, we'll be taking into account other <br /> planning efforts in the city and in downtown and most prominently, the Civic Center Master <br /> Plan. <br /> Commissioner Nagler: If I could just add a quick comment. As part of the Civic Center/Library <br /> Task Force deliberations a request was made by City staff and it was answered in the <br /> presentation to the task force about potential uses of the current civic center property. It was <br /> certainly not definitive and it was no way intended to get a recommendation out of the task <br /> force because that is not the task force's place. But, what was interesting about their data was <br /> a reflection of what are the current market conditions and what might be appropriate uses <br /> based upon where demand exists as opposed to what's sort of perfect urban planning. <br /> The idea that there would be offices as part of the current civic center property was suggested <br /> by these consultants to not be the highest and best use of the land and the reason for that is <br /> they talked about the patterns of office use in Pleasanton and the market demands for small <br /> offices because obviously you're not going to put a high rise office building on the civic center <br /> site so you're, by definition, talking about insurance offices, accountant and lawyer offices and <br /> things like that and there isn't demand in the community for that kind of use of that property. <br /> I'm not saying that should dictate clearly our conversation tonight, but it's another data point <br /> about a piece of property directly across the street. <br /> Commissioner O'Connor: Sure, as we keep talking about vitality downtown, office doesn't <br /> usually generate the vitality you're talking about in a downtown location. <br /> Commissioner Allen: If I could just follow-up with that, so if it's not office then what are the <br /> choices—retail, mixed use or residential? <br /> EXCERPT: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, May 25, 2016 Page 4 of 22 <br />
