Jennifer Hagen <br />From: <br />To: PSteente MAnantPan ft <br />Subject: Resurrection Greek Orthodox Church <br />Planning Commission <br />City of Pleasanton <br />April 2, 2021 <br />Dear Members of the Pleasanton Planning Commission, <br />Twenty years ago, I stood before the then Pleasanton Planning Commission with the hope of <br />facilitating the move of the Livermore Valley Jewish Community Center (dba Congregation <br />Beth Emek) from Livermore to Nevada Court in Pleasanton. We had outgrown our space on <br />College Avenue and M Street in Livermore and had worked with property owners Konrad <br />Rickenbach and Frank Auf der Maur to purchase a two -acre tract in Pleasanton just south of <br />Stanley Boulevard and Bernal Avenue. <br />The Planning Commission granted our request to change the Zoning of the Property from <br />Commercial/Retail to Religious Institutions. <br />We are very grateful to the Planning Commission and to the City Council for processing our <br />applications and working with us to enable the move to Pleasanton. Our Congregation has <br />flourished in the community and we hopefully have added much value to the City. <br />I have reviewed the beautiful visual renderings of the Resurrection Greek Orthodox Church of <br />Castro Valley, which is hoping for a similar move to Pleasanton. I believe their Campus on <br />Dublin Canyon Road would add to the beauty of the City and enhance the multi -cultural <br />diversity that we enjoy. <br />I strongly support their application and hope you will approve the proposal and facilitate their <br />move to Pleasanton. <br />Sincerely, <br />Bob Russman <br />Pleasanton 94566 <br />
