Public Comments <br />ATTACHMENT 7 <br />• Streamline ADU Production <br />Yes. I believe that currently ADUs are the only potentially affordable units <br />being built in Pleasanton. Any ADUs, affordable or not, increase housing <br />supply. Streamlining the process will make is less expensive and faster. <br />• Complete Objective Design Standards <br />Yes. Make them achievable but not too expensive. We want to create <br />housing, not scare it away. Has Pleasanton ever had a development working <br />group of non-profit and for-profit developers look at design guidelines to <br />assess feasibility and suggest less expensive modifications? I recommend it. <br />• Small Units, Multifamily Guidelines <br />Yes. Another tool. <br />• Municipal Code Amendments for Small-scale Infill <br />Yes, for every type of housing. <br />Please do not use the phrase "Missing Middle". Pleasanton is missing almost <br />every housing type, except Above Moderate Income. It is jargon that may <br />work in cities with only low income and high-income units. <br />According to our brochure "Below Market Rate Apartments in Pleasanton' <br />we have: <br />660 senior apartments <br />444 low-income apartments <br />4879 market rate apartments <br />5983 total <br />or <br />11 % senior apartments <br />7.4% non -senior apartments <br />Assuming for the moment that seniors are not working, only 7.4% of <br />apartments are available to Pleasanton's lower income workforce. <br />Figure 1 on page 8 of the staff report shows that at least 55%, or 33,073 jobs, <br />and likely many more, earn less than 100% AMI. Our 444 non -senior <br />affordable units of the 5983 apartments (and 29,000 housing units) in the <br />city, barely make a dent in the need. <br />NOTE: I could not fmd any statistics for deed -restricted, for -sale, affordable <br />units. How many are there in Pleasanton and at what income levels? How <br />are they tracked? Please ask staff for this information. <br />2 <br />27 <br />
