parking permit program and dedicated lots (that's a discussion item, we're not figuring that out tonight but it's in the menu), we also looked at subsidies for alternative transit for employees to get downtown. So those are on the table. We are from a policy perspective, we're looking at the DSP, it currently has some specific language, it has parking requirements but it also talks about public parking availability and not using meters and things like that. To let you all know, City Council did see meter parking in the menu and they did not like that as an option for our downtown. So, we were encouraged, possibly even directed, to remove meters from the menu of ways to address parking in downtown. So, we'll be doing that with the next version. Chair Ritter: On Figure 9 in your book here, on page 22, it's a little disheartening that they show all of these bike stops but there's nothing at the Pleasanton Library or City Hall and that was brought up at the Bike /Ped meeting, as Commissioner Balch knows. But it is a little embarrassing that we don't have a dot on there. Just a comment. Beaudin: We do need to address this at City Hall. It has been addressed at the Library. Commissioner Balch: I'd also like to mention Delucchi and Wayside because I mentioned that when I was on Park and Rec when you were still with us and primarily from the farmer's market and concerts in the park. Beaudin: We'll make sure we get it accurate and we make it the priority that it needs to be. Commissioner Brown: Before you move off of those strategy slides, in the staff report on page 6 you mentioned, and I must admit I didn't get through the entire implementation plan in detail, but in the staff report it said "install digital parking occupancy signs to display the number of vacant spaces which were potential parking specific wayfinding signage." I thought that was good. When I go on business trips and so on, the parking garage at SFO has sensors, etc. Was there any thought that eventually Pleasanton would have a City owned app to show you where a parking space is? People could find that on their phone and you can find in real time one of those rare parking spaces? Beaudin: Yeah, we get contacted pretty regularly by companies who are doing that. The City of Redwood City, the City of San Mateo, there are apps for a lot of downtown, particularly on the peninsula and it is something we will consider. Commissioner Brown: Okay. I just didn't see it in the report. Thank you. Chair Ritter: Great idea. Beaudin: Okay, so this slide does show the location of parking structures, and I'll say they're hypothetical parking structures, we chose these sites because they're commonly identified as potential parking sites and in our downtown. They are privately owned, we've discussed this with the property owners to give an order of magnitude assessment to give them an overview of what it costs to build a parking structure in today's numbers. Estimated cost, option 1, the True Value site, 636 Main Street, we're looking at a parking structure that could yield 135 spaces, it'd be a $3.8 million cost without land acquisition, design services, or permitting. That's $74,000 per parking PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, August 24, 2016 Page 25 of 39
