PLEASANTON â The city council has agreed to extend its outdoor âpop-up programâ for local restaurants through the end of the year.
The 4-1 vote was made during the July 20 regular meeting with Councilmember Valerie Arkin as the dissenting vote. The city s temporary pop-up program allows for seating areas, furnishings and coverings such as tents and canopies, to be installed at outdoor restaurant and bar locations, as well as in private parking lots.
âIt s a hard one, and I think a lot of us have come to enjoy them,â said Arkin. âAlthough I will say it has been a great thing for our downtown and has added vibrancy to downtown ⦠Iâm trying to be sensitive to all the businesses downtown and what would be the best compromise. Iâm sorry, I just have a hard time going through the end of December.â

The Pleasanton Planning Commission on Wednesday is set to consider a proposal by the city planning staff to require that the front 60% of all Main Street buildings be genuine retail.
Peter MacDonald.
The retail mandate just started recently with the newly adopted Downtown Specific Plan in 2018, which required that the front 25% of Main Street buildings be retail ( active ground-floor use in planner talk, which includes restaurants).
So, why not up the retail mandate to 60%? Main Street cannot support the kind and quantity of retail the planners are proposing to require. The building spaces are too small, the parking is far away and there are not enough customers to support that much retail on Main Street. Instead of increased vitality, we will get empty buildings and struggling businesses the opposite of vitality.
