Commissioner Brown asked to make two changes to Item 2, the minutes from February 9, 2022. The first was to add "to the" to the second sentence on page six so it will read "He stated he did not agree with increasing to the maximum LIHF fee and that the fees could not be blindly set to the maximum due to the disincentive to businesses from moving to Pleasanton." The second change was to change disincentives to disincentivize and to add "from" to the third sentence on page six so it will read "He liked the suggestions from Ms. Combs and Ms. Dennis but was not necessarily in favor of tiers and he did not want to disincentivize businesses from bringing in tax revenues." Commissioner Allen stated she was in full support of Item 4, the Design Review approval at 715 Rose Avenue, but would like to see more detail or articulation around building one on the left and right sides. Commissioner Allen indicated the front looked great, but felt the two sides were bland, and being the right and left sides were prominently visible to passersby, more detail work or a window would further enhance the left and right facades. Ms. Clark stated this could be addressed by a condition of approval. Chair Pace moved Item 4 to public hearing and asked to just approve Items 1 through 3 on the consent calendar. Commissioner Gaidos moved to approve Items 1 through 3 on the Consent Calendar, with the proposed changes from Commissioner Brown on Item 2. Commissioner Brown seconded the motion.

The meeting minutes of February 9, 2022 were approved with the proposed changes from Commissioner Brown. The meeting minutes of February 23, 2022 were approved as submitted. PUBLIC HEARING AND OTHER MATTERS Chair Pace asked for the plans for Item 4, previously on consent calendar, but moved to public hearing, to be shared with the Commission to help them envision Commissioner Allen's request. Commissioner Allen said her top priority was the south elevation, on the right side. The visuals on the front are very nice but, on the right, only one window can be seen, and because it is so close to the street, she would like to see more articulation, perhaps another window or some design elements. On the north elevation, on the left side where the stairway is, there could be Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 of 4 April 27, 2022 the applicant will be given the opportunity to respond to issues raised by the public.
