He presented a drawing showing the proposed architecture for the building, which is residential style, and would preserve the heritage character of the downtown area. The following persons spoke in favor of the general plan amendments: Mr. Larry Osborne, 699 Peters Avenue, stated it is his belief that Pleasanton will have a more vibrant downtown if the general plan is amended to allow commercial and offices west of Peters Avenue, otherwise the property will remain undeveloped because of incompatible use. He stated he felt a park in do~mtwon Pleasanton would not add anything to downtown. 8. 12/6/83
