From: To: n r Ha Cc: Subject: Potential recnning of Mission and Valley Shopping Centers Date: Friday, November 19, 20219:32:21 AM Jennifer, please share the below opposition letter from the Board of Directors of Danbury Park with the Planning Commission, the City Council the Housing Commission and please place it in the record for the upcoming December 1 public meeting. We, the members of the Board of Directors of Danbury Parkin Pleasanton would like to express our opposition to the potential rezoning of the Valley and Mission Shopping Centers located near the intersection of Valley and Santa Rita Rd. Danbury Park is a single-family complex of 204 units located across the street to the east of these centers, Besides Danbury Park, there are numerous other single family and apartment complexes located near these centers. These two shopping centers provide many valuable, essential and convenient services to the thousands of residents near them. They provide such services as: grocery stores, hardware store, laundry, insurance agent, donut shop, spa, shoe repair, dentist office, veterinary service, UPS store, credit union, thrift store, auto shop, printing, tutoring, office building, hair and nails, sports store, restaurants, cafe, fast food, thrift shop and vitamin shop_ These services and the residents to whom they serve make up a cohesive community. In addition, the services are a walkable distance away from the nearby residents, many of whom are senior citizens. These services also comprise the livelihood of numerous small business owners, many of which have operated in these locations for decades. New high density properties should be located more near BART or on the periphery of the city or in locations that do not replace current necessary and convenient retail locations. In addition more high density properties should not be located near one of the busiest and congested intersections in Pleasanton.
