Public Comments <br />ATTACHMENT 7 <br />It. Incentivize Affordable Housing <br />Traditionally cities exact fees and have requirements. Are there any <br />incentives that the city could use to promote affordable housing? Faster plan <br />check? Clear and concise design standards? Quicker inspections? Where are <br />the carrots to balance the sticks? <br />Notes: <br />• The fact that our out -commute is like other cities in the Tri -Valley is no <br />reason to continue the status quo. Livermore's 20% could be a goal. (Page 3 <br />footnote) <br />• The 1799 Pleasanton households that earn 80-100% AMI probably include <br />many retired homeowners like me who enjoy Proposition 13 benefits and <br />might be willing to downsize if there were more choices. That's why I'm <br />building an ADU, to create my own downsized home. As more of us move, <br />only very high-income homeowners will be able to buy our homes, further <br />increasing our Above Moderate -Income housing stock and increasing the <br />need for 80-110 AMI% affordable housing. (Page 5 first paragraph) <br />Thank you for the opportunity to comment on these important policies. <br />Jocelyn Combs <br />17 <br />
