This is part of a long-term effort to plan for the eventual replacement of these units, which comprise the only housing units administered by the Pleasanton Housing Authority. The project is also planned to involve an adjacent senior development, Pleasanton Gardens (40 units located across the street at 251 Kottinger Drive;Section 8/236).. The task force includes representatives from the City Council, Housing Commission, and the Parks and Recreation Commission as well as eight at-large members (including residents of the two senior complexes).The group met regularly since 2004 and obtained consultant services(with Christian Church Homes) to analyze processing and financing issues for the project. In 2010, the City Council reviewed information collected by the task force and confirmed its interest in moving forward with the project. The task force is considering replacing one or both of the existing developments with a larger number of units, using the current affordability levels as a minimum for any future project. MidPen Housing was selected as the developer for the project,which is to be known as"Kottinger Gardens." In 2011,the City took advantage of an opportunity to purchase. a 0.5 acre site directly adjacent to the existing development which will be available to facilitate the redevelopment. Development plans were submitted to the City in December.2013 as part of the entitlement process. A draft application for demolition and disposition was submitted for HUD Technical Review in February 2014.
