BACKGROUND City Council authorized staff to prepare the Parking Plan at its October 6, 2015 meeting. At the December 15, 2015 City Council meeting, staff provided an update on the plan and parking solutions that were implemented to-date, or that would be implemented in the short-term. On July 19, 2016, staff provided an update to the City Council before presenting the report to the Pleasanton Downtown Association, the Economic Vitality Committee, other interested organizations, and other members of the general public. Staff has since shared the draft document with interested parties, and is providing it to the City Council for review and adoption, subject to "clean up" modifications approved by the Director of Community Development. SUMMARY OF REPORT AND DISCUSSION The attached City Council Staff Report, dated July 19, 2016 (Attachment 2) provides a summary and discussion of the Parking Plan. CHANGES INCORPORATED IN THE PARKING PLAN Since the release of the draft Parking Plan in June 2016, City staff sought feedback from City committees, organizations with an interest in Downtown, and individuals, as well as the City Council and the Planning Commission. Staff attended the following meetings to seek feedback on the draft Parking Plan: • City Council — July 19, 2016 • Economic Vitality Committee — July 21, 2016 • Bicycle, Pedestrian and Trails Committee — July 25 and August 22, 2016 • Downtown Vitality Committee of the Pleasanton Downtown Association (PDA) — August 23, 2016 • Planning Commission —August 24, 2016 • Chamber of Commerce — September 14, 2016 • PDA Board of Directors — September 14, 2016 In addition, staff also sought public feedback on the draft Parking Plan by notifying interested parties via email in advance of the Planning Commission and City Council hearings, and by advertising the draft plan on the City's social media platforms. The February 28, 2017 draft Parking Plan includes revisions generated from public input received on the plan. Changes were made to refine implementation strategies, add to or supplement existing parking management and supply strategies, and to provide additional information.
