From: To: lanire Stern Subject: P13-1858,City of Pleasanton,East Pleasanton Plan Date: Friday,May 17,2013 12:32:49 PM In reviewing the options proposed for the East Pleasanton Plan as it relates to High Density/Low Income Housing, I am struck by the proposals that run counter to many discussions held in citizen meetings last year. Why is there a consideration to put the bulk of this high density housing all on the east side of Pleasanton? We specifically said we wanted it dispersed throughout the city to avoid the kind of blight that Dublin has. Putting all this congestion in one location with puts pressure on all the city services as well. 1. The schools in that area will be overpopulated 2. The road infrastructure will be insufficient to carry the additional traffic. There seems to be no provision to provide freeway access, which results in people using Valley Avenue & First Street. Those roads will carry the bulk of the traffic. 3. High Denisity/Low or moderate rent units translates into more police action required. I recommend that we look at the ALternative 1 proposal that: 1. Provides distribution throughout the city 2. Changes the ratio of high density rental and low income rental to 50/50 versus the proposed 76% low income rental. 3. Builds out El Charro to Stanley to provide better traffic distribution.
