hedge that separates or even a little picket fence that is more decorative; something that brings that Pleasanton feel. There are a few houses down there where this is done. Chair Ritter: Ok, discussion point D. D. Is the proposed parking for the 536 St. John Street site acceptable? Commissioner O'Connor: I don't think there's a way to fix it, but I think we should look at considering the resident parking permit. Seto: I should clarify. Currently right now the only resident parking system that the City enforces is near the high schools to prevent high school students from parking in residential neighborhoods when they should be parking on the campus. Commissioner O'Connor: And how do you know if it is a student? Commissioner Nagler: And Walnut Drive. Seto: And Walnut Drive. The permits are issued for the residents to put in their cars for them to park. Commissioner Nagler: So for example from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. you can't park there. Commissioner O'Connor: And what does it say on Walnut Drive? What are those permits? Commissioner Nagler: Similar; Monday through Friday, during business hours you have to have a resident permit. Commissioner Allen; Is that because of the schools nearby? Commissioner Nagler: No, it's because around the corner on Ray Street, there's an office complex that crowds workers into it and without that parking restriction on Walnut Drive during the day, there's traffic coming and going. Commissioner O'Connor: So this is a different area because we've got Barone's at night and especially on weekends, and I don't know how we would say it's now only for residents. Commissioner Allen: I'm not excited about doing that, restricting it to just residents, and the reason is, it's back to if residents choose to use their garage for storage, then they'll want to park on the street and I don't want to incentivize reserving that for them to park on the street if they choose to use their garage for storage. Commissioner O'Connor: I'm just trying to figure out how to get a guest to come over if there's no parking there. Commissioner Allen: They have to deal with it just like we do. Commissioner Nagler: Every resident gets a plaque they can put in the car. EXCERPT: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, March 23, 2016 Page 15 of 18
