Chair O'Connor noted that it seemed to him that the majority of the signatories were Pleasanton residents but he could not tell if they were from neighboring sites. Commissioner Ritter stated that he was looking at what the best use for that property, which is currently zoned Neighborhood Commercial (C -N) District, would be, and what other uses could be located there, maybe a cigar shop or a massage parlor or a tattoo shop. He inquired what other uses would go in there in that current zoning and what would they be able to do without having to go through a permit process or rezoning. Mr. Weinstein replied that there are obviously lots of other uses theoretically that could go into the site. He stated that the C -N District is pretty extensive in terms of what it permits, but the surroundings and traffic volumes, among other things, would have to be considered to figure out what is an appropriate use on this site. He noted that these roads are not super quiet, there is a shopping center to the south and another to the east, there are pretty high- intensity uses in the surrounding area, so these would need to he considered and taken into account in figuring out what a different appropriate use would be. Chair O'Connor stated that a lot of his questions have already been answered because they were asked by others.

Ms. Soo added that the condition would be in Exhibit A -2, the Conditions of Approval linked to the Conditional Use Permit. Commissioner Piper stated that her initial thought when this came to her was that similar to a lot of people in the room: whether 7- Eleven is something we want in Pleasanton. She indicated that as a 40 year resident of Pleasanton, she grew up around a 7- Eleven and as a high school student, she saw a little bit of loitering at that 7- Eleven. She stated that her first or initial reaction was that she was not really excited about the thought of another 7- Eleven in town. She noted that she did read through the materials quite extensively and also visited the site quite a bit; she had a lot of questions that she addressed to Mr. Hirst and got a lot of answers. She stated that with that, she is extremely pleased with the type of 7- Eleven that is going in at this site. She added that hearing so many representatives from 7- Eleven, she encouraged them to beautify the other two 7- Elevens in town. Commissioner Piper stated that she does not drink Slurpee and goes to gas stations only to get gas, not candies. She indicated that from a personal standpoint, she likes PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, August 27, 2014 Page 25 of 44
