Item No. 2 (continued( Jack Murray, 568 Seahorse Lane, asked that the appeal be denied, and suggested that Council adhere to an overall plan in making its decisions, believing that other developers will make similar requests; that a larger number of hotel rooms will require additional employees, who will require additional parking space; that he is concerned regarding the ultimate impact of traffic when the project is built. Bruce Albin, 569 Compass Circle, stated that he does not object to the additional hotel rooms, but that in his experience, hotels providing food and beverage services always lack sufficient parking and therefore additional parking spaces should be provided. Thetis Pappas, 587 Seahorse Lane, described her experiences in connection with her involvement with setting up meeting places for seminars, and the resultant heavy traffic volume and parking difficulties, and often having to park a long distance from some hotels. Planner Patterson responded to questions by Council regarding suggestions of granting a special privilege to Campeau in reducing the number of parking spaces, that the reduction to 3,000 spaces was a requirement imposed by the City as a condition of the Planned Development Permit, and the difference would be offset by very stringent Transportation System Management measures that would be imposed by the City. In reply to further question, he advised that the transportation study is nearing completion, and one proposal is establishment of a special district East of Bayshore requiring payment of a fee to pay for certain measures to reduce traffic. Mr. Patterson was requested by Council to obtain a copy of the City of Pleasanton ordinance to be made available to Council concerning traffic control.
