5.3) Public Comment on the Notice of Preparation of an Environmental Impact Report for the Pacific and Livermore Townhomes Project (Subdivision 23-004 and Site Plan Design Review 23-006).
I am a Livermore native who has used this shopping center since the late 1970s.
The current 1950s buildings all can be demolished. But this site should not be 100% residential.
Essentially the proposed project would entirely “privatize” a community gathering place used by generations. This site is adjacent to the Livermore Civic Center, one of the city’s largest employment centers. It is among the few commercial sites in southern Livermore. Nob Hill Foods wanted to expand here in 2002, but ground contamination undermined that plan’s viability. Some commercial uses still make sense.
The proposed project is “bad planning” because it would force its residents and thousands of other existing residents to drive to downtown Livermore and elsewhere to shop and dine. I don’t want to lose Patisserie by Simone. Why can’t a restaurant/coffee shop space or two be included along South Livermore Avenue, the “gateway to Wine Country,” or at the corner of Pacific Ave. and Dolores St.?
