From: <br />To:Jennifer Hagen <br />Cc: <br />Subject:Housing Element - NO on Development at Mission & Valley Shopping Centers <br />Date:Friday, January 7, 2022 12:33:42 PM <br />I would like to comment to the Pleasanton City Council on the decision to rezone the <br />shopping areas at Santa Rita & Valley into low income housing and mixed used <br />residence. <br />Please be aware that the Mission & Valley Shopping Centers at Valley & Santa Rita <br />are a valuable resource for residents already living in this area. We rely on these <br />stores to provide us a valuable resource for hardware, food, pharmacy and health <br />needs. <br />Also, the displacement of small business owners seems ill advised in todays <br />economic environment. Hardship on small business owners is not going to be <br />alleviated by requiring them to incur expenses to relocate. <br />The Valley /Santa Rita intersection is already one of the busiest in the city. Adding <br />more housing will increase the congestion and make it more dangerous than it is <br />presently. <br />Why would we not consider putting these new developments in closer access to <br />public transportation such as BART or closer to the freeways for easier access? <br />Please DO NOT destroy our neighborhood with congestion and loss of resources <br />when there are other options to be considered which will be much more reasonable <br />for this development. <br />Thank You <br />LaVonne Youel <br />Pleasanton, CA 94566 <br />Click here to report this email as spam. <br />Attachment 8
