parking and so does the Fairgrounds and the ACE station. Why restrict this to 4-hour <br /> parking. Someone may want to park there and go downtown all day or for any other <br /> reason. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lum said it was strictly for the convenience of the building owner. It allows <br /> patrons of the building some additional parking spaces, but is not required. <br /> <br /> Craig Sjoberg, 5000 Pleasanton Avenue, indicated a third train will be added to the <br /> ACE schedule and he predicted overflows in the parking lot. He referred to Ms. Ayalas's <br /> remarks and explained that in 1991 he dedicated the right of way for the sidewalk and half <br /> the street and constructed the sidewalk for the city. In consideration for that, it was agreed <br /> to allow parking on the south side of the street. <br /> <br /> Mr. Tarver felt if another train is added and there is a 4-hour parking restriction, <br /> then people will park in the residential areas. <br /> <br /> Mr. Sjoberg said the north side of the lot is much farther from the train station than <br /> the spaces next to his building. City streets are for public transportation and commerce, not <br /> transit parking for commuters. City staff has conferred with the ACE staff and the <br /> Fairgrounds and they have no objection to this limited parking. <br /> <br /> Mr. Tarver could not support this. He felt it was leading to further problems in the <br />-- neighborhood. <br /> <br /> It was moved by Ms. Ayala, seconded by Ms. Miehelotti, to adopt Resolution <br /> No. 99-116, establishing a 4-hour parking zone on Pleasanton Avenue to the south of <br /> the fairgrounds and Altamont Commuter Express rail parking lot entrance. <br /> The roll call vote was as follows: <br /> AYES: Councilmembers- Ayala, Dennis, and Michelotti <br /> NOE S: Councilmember Pico and Mayor Tarver <br /> ABSENT: None <br /> ABSTAIN: None <br /> <br /> Ms. Dennis felt if there were parking problems in the neighborhoods, Council needs <br /> to address other alternatives, but this is fair for this area. <br /> <br /> Item 6b <br /> Consideration of the preparation of a Study of the Rose Avenue Area (SR 99:266) <br /> <br /> Brian Swift presented the staff report. <br /> <br /> Craig Champion, 777 California Avenue, Palo Alto, Development Manager for <br />.._ Summerhill Homes, indicated support for the staff recommendation.
