From: - <br />To: Jennifer Haden <br />Subject: Valley and Mission Shopping Centers <br />Date: Tuesday, December 7, 20218:32:37 AM <br />Jennifer Hagen, Associate Planner <br />Good morning. I wish to make a statement for the upcoming planning meeting addressing the rezoning of sites in <br />Pleasanton for future residential development. <br />I am a long term resident of Pleasanton and object to the rezoning of the Valley and Mission centers as they provide <br />currently valuable, essential, convenient and reasonably priced services to the thousands of residents that live near the <br />centers. Without the centers, we will be forced to drive all over Pleasanton and Livermore and maybe Dublin to find <br />similar services. Losing nearby neighborhood amenities reduces the appeal of living in Pleasanton. A viable <br />neighborhood is more than just housing but also requires businesses that provide services to the residents nearby. <br />The centers also provide a livelihood for numerous small businesses and and hundreds of employees. As a senior <br />citizen it is very important to have neighborhood shopping close to where I live. <br />High density residential projects should be placed closer to BART or on the periphery of the city and should not <br />replace existing retail. Also, the intersection of Santa Rita and Valley is the most congested intersection in the city and <br />we do not need more congestion at this location. <br />Thank you for the opportunity to participate in the planning process. <br />Sue Vigars <br />Click <br />hILP"jf%►►►► mailcon[roLwmlsrlvf6gMhKIIk-zH{;X?POPOmvtiItit iePnZAyD►vPZIUi7vNEv4n►rWIW71pyozKHb7i-D- <br />VA%%vMl .Sz►kriNrni7tO[ J7GWY-[ to report this email as spam. <br />
