MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION JULY 13, 1983 Page 14 Commissioner Lindey acknowledged that Pleasanton needs a quality hotel and urged the applicant to keep that in mind. He said that the proposed location is a good one for a hotel. Commissioner Getty has concerns with traffic in the area proposed for the Holiday Inn. Mr. Viar explained the circulation system of the area and did not believe there would be a particular traffic problem. Commissioner Wilson indicated that the traffic reports showed a hotel to be a better use than an office building with regard to traffic problems. Chairman Jamieson asked if anyone in the audience cared to comment on the Holiday Inn. r~ir. Hovingh, 4250 Muirwood Drive, spoke in opposition to the proposal at this location, because of traffic concerns on Foothill Road. He suggested it might even be appropriate for the applicant to rescind their offer of $50,000 to the City. He addressed revenue the City would get from the Holiday Inn. Commissioner Doherty then made a motion based on the review of the slides showing the site plan, elevations, landscape plan, etc. that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the plans subject to the conditions shown in the staff report.
