Subject: Business on MacArthur and High

Hi Annie:

I just got word that there is a proposed McDonalds and Starbucks at the corner of High and MacArthur. Let me
first say that I am very pleased that there are steps being taken towards economic development near our
neighborhood. However, I as a resident of Fairfax, I would actually like to see economic investment on our side
of the freeway in Fairfax.

There is plenty of opportunity in the area of Bancroft and Fairfax and I encourage you to remind potential
investors that our neighborhood is worth looking at as well.

Sincerely,

Dear Council Member Campbell Washington:

In follow up to our last conversation, attached please find the proposed site plan and elevations for the subject
property.

- We prepared multiple site plan iterations to include the neighborhoods request for entry from MacArthur
Boulevard and exit onto Brown Avenue. These iterations did not provide the required minimum building width
of 60 needed for the necessary OSHPD dialysis chair clearances while maintaining a viable parking lot and
were disapproved by the tenant. The parcel width of 120 is the constraint.

- The proposed elevations are very similar to those presented to the neighborhood outreach except we
propose to demolish the existing theater tower element and reconstruct to current code.

- The client anticipates dialysis shifts of 6 am 10 am, 10 am 2 pm and 2 pm 6 pm with staggered arrival
times. These proposed times should not impact the local schools drop-off and pick-up traffic.

- We are ready to submit the pre-application consisting of the proposed site plan and building elevations to
the Planning Department. Pre-application comments are typically received within 30-45 days of City submittal.
We would then incorporate the pre-application comments into the formal entitlement submittal (which will take
4-6 weeks to prepare). The City would public notice during the formal entitlement process.

1
- Once weve submitted the pre-application we are eager to move forward with further community
outreach. Wed like to send a letter and project fact sheet to the surrounding residents and businesses in an
effort to disseminate project information and solicit feedback. We would also be happy to provide these
materials for you to distribute as well. In addition to the Laurel Merchants, are there any other district
organizations you think we should reach out to?

I look forward to receiving your input prior to our submittal. As always, thank you for your time and guidance.

Annie,

Thanks for the email. I've been wanting to get more involved in the neighborhood and would like some help on
how to do this. I am a Regional VP with a financial planning company and have been in the 4th District for a
little over two and a half years. I was wanting to do some sort of series of financial literacy or wellbeing
workshops. Any idea on to proceed with this?

Hello Friends,

If you haven't run into the District 4 City Council Office out and about at
neighborhood meetings over the past six weeks, you are spending too many
nights at home! We are attending every NCPC (Neighborhood Council)
meeting, every Merchant District meeting, every "Friends of" meeting
(Joaquin Miller Park, Sausal Creek, Woodminster Theatre, etc.), and every
Homeowners Association meeting that we can find. We are so thrilled to
have the opportunity to serve the residents, employees, business owners and
volunteers of the District 4 neighborhoods and also, to serve the entire City
of Oakland. This is an incredible opportunity, and we thank you.

One of the most unique parts of being your locally elected representative in
the City of Oakland is the opportunity to work closely with you in our
neighborhoods to make a positive impact on the things that affect our daily
lives -- pedestrian safety, street repair, park maintenance, business district
revitalization, and housing development -- just to name a few. We take this
part of the job very seriously and are intent on reaching out to you and
listening to your needs to make informed decisions and votes.

In that vein, please reach out to us to share your opinion on two potential
developments in our neighborhood business districts:

Montclair Village
As reported in the Montclarion, F&M Bank
(http://www.mercurynews.com/News/ci_27509676/Montclair-Village:-
Prospect-of-sixth-area-bank-debated) is interested in the vacant retail
location at 2042 Mountain Blvd. Starbucks has also taken an interest in
expanding into this location. Please reach out to us if you would like to
weigh in on this issue. F&M Bank will submit its plans to the City of Oakland
for review by the Planning Commission, so public input will be extremely
valuable.

A medical company is interested in building a dialysis patient treatment
center in the former church/theatre located at 3814 MacArthur. Please let
us know if you would like to be added to the email updates from Meridian --
the medical building developer -- as they move through the
process. Residents and business owners will want to weigh in on the facade
improvements that will inevitably be made to that building to ensure that
they activate the space and are welcome additions to that part of the
business district. Please send your comments, or a request to be added to
email alerts, to Adam Simons at asimons@oaklandnet.com.

Thank you, in advance, for taking the time to express your opinions to us
about changes that are being made in your neighborhood business
districts. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to represent your voices,
and to be liaisons between the residents and potential developers and
business owners as they consider locating in our neighborhoods.

Local Heroes
Here is one last push to encourage your participation and attendance at our
upcoming Annual District 4 Local Heroes Awards Celebration on Saturday,
February 28th at 10:00 am the Allendale Recreation Center (3711 Suter
Street). Submit your nomination for a Local Hero -- someone who has made
a positive impact on your neighborhood or local school -- by Saturday,
February 21st to nmaxson@oaklandnet.com. After the Awards Ceremony,
we'll follow the Chinese Lion dancers up to the Laurel Business District to
bless all of the businesses and celebrate Lunar New Year. We are so excited
to celebrate some of our most special District 4 residents, volunteers and
business owners!

City of Oakland Budget

The City Council will begin its budget development process with a discussion
of City budget priorities at a special meeting on Monday, March 2nd from
9AM-1PM in City Council Chambers. What is most important to you to
preserve in this next two-year City budget? I look forward to the difficult
conversations of trade-offs as Mayor Libby Schaaf presents her proposed
budget to the City Council and the deliberations begin. Please send budget
comments to me at acampbell-washington@oaklandnet.com.

Again, we are thrilled to have the opportunity to serve Oakland. Please

reach out to us with any ideas, questions or concerns. We want to hear from
you!

Warmest regards,

Subject: Proposed new businesses on corner of High and MacArthur

Hello,

I recently heard from my neighborhood group that your office is looking for feedback on a
proposal to bring a Starbucks and a McDonalds to the corner down the street from our house. I
appreciate this opportunity to express my opinion, as a resident at for the
past 13 years.
Having two empty lots as the first thing people see when they exit High Street off
of 580 is not a great introduction to the neighborhood, and Starbucks might provide a
welcoming, safe place for Mills students to study and local teens and families to hang out, but we
have zero interest in a McDonald's drive-thru restaurant at the corner of 4299 MacArthur and
High.

There are already KFC and Taco Bell drive-thrus in the neighborhood and they
don't attract people to come and shop in the small independent stores on the block,
and they just lead to more trash and poor health options for the community.

We need to add businesses that are committed to the neighborhood, that will
support neighborhood schools and sports teams, and care about the people who
live here.
Please provide our neighborhood a public forum for giving community input as well as give the
neighborhood the opportunity to organize against this proposal. A McDonalds is just not good for
the Laurel, and we have come so far in the last few years with a new gym, the Laurel Street fair,
new signage to create neighborhood identity, etc. Let's develop those two corners very
intentionally to keep the good spirit going.

Thank you,
