Honorable Chair and Members of the Commission, I enclose a copy of the proposed Guest Editorial I submitted to the Pleasanton Weekly regarding the 60% Retail Mandate. It may or may not get printed,that is up to.them. But, I thought I would share it with you for your consideration before you make your recommendation on Wednesday night. The Weekly tends to ask for back up and evidence, so I enclose the back up information which I provided to the Weekly—Downtown Sales Tax History since 1993,a 2009 map of downtown land uses— (vast majority of which was already retail or restaurant except In In undersized.buildings and edge locations), and an article describing how overbuilt retail is nationwide, as retail floor space demand is shrinking. If ever there was a time to back off from in your face regulation, this would be it. Sincerely, Pete MacDonald Peter MacDonald •Main Street, Pleasanton, CA 94566 Distributed to City Council for the September 7, 2021, meeting Page 11
