Commissioner Allen: Just so we're all looking at the same thing, what table.... Beaudin: Page 22, Table 18.44.080. Commissioner Nagler: So to your point Nancy, look on page 23. Commissioner Allen: Okay, I'm on page 23. Commissioner Nagler: And there are those personal services listed. Commissioner Balch: Could we go by section rather.... Commissioner Allen: It says 2,000 Commissioner Nagler: I'm sorry, continue Commissioner Balch: Maybe I could suggest we go by retail and then we move to page 23 and go by personal? Chair Ritter: We've got an hour to go through 4 questions and how do we do this most efficiently? That's what I'm asking. So staff, what do you really need from us is I guess what we need to know. Weinstein: Commissioner Allen's comment was really helpful. I think if you have problems with any of the categories, then let us know. Beaudin: This isn't your only opportunity. We will be back, so if you're looking at this two days from now, send us an email and we'll keep iterating on this as we take it around and show it to other people as well and when we come back, we'll try to capture all the changes for you in a staff report. Chair Ritter: Just like Brad did with his email. Commissioner Brown: Before we move onto the 60,000, when I looked at Table 1, approximate square footage of retail venues and I looked at the size of Lucky's, Macy's, Safeway, both the Pleasanton Gateway and Amador Center and when I think about the Johnson Drive EDZ and the Measure MM or whatever it is coming up in the fall, that's set at 50,000. Would 50,000 not be a more appropriate number based on the examples in Table 1 versus 60,000? Weinstein: One of the authors is sitting in this room right now, he'll admittedly say that you know, 50,000 square feet is a somewhat arbitrary breakoff in terms of regulating uses above that differently than regulating uses below it. So again, we're open to different suggestions on the appropriate square footage for the breakoff, but in looking at uses here in town that exist right now, it seemed like uses above 60,000 square feet had slightly different use patterns than uses below that, but the breakdown could be anywhere really; it seemed like 60,000 was about the right number.
