This was most often seen in for-sale projects, and since recent rental housing <br />projects have individually tended to comprise a larger total number of units, the majority, <br />although not all, units secured through the IZO are rental units. Today, there are more than <br />300 inclusionary units within a range of market-rate projects including at Park Hacienda <br />(2001), Civic Square Apartments (2011), Anton Hacienda (2015), Galloway at Owens (2016), <br />Mason Flats (2016), and Galloway at Hacienda (2017). <br /> <br />3) Affordable Housing Projects, Developed through Public/Private Partnerships <br />This final set of projects was generally achieved with some contribution of City resources or <br />support. This has included projects with ground leases of City-owned property, supported by <br />local funds from the City’s Lower Income Housing Fund (LIHF), federal HOME funds, or <br />regional Measure A1 funds, as well as federal and state Low-Income Housing Tax Credit <br />(LIHTC) financing. <br /> <br />Projects developed through such partnerships include Kottinger Gardens Phase 1 (a 2017 <br />redevelopment of an existing affordable senior housing project), Kottinger Gardens Phase 2 <br />(2019), and the Sunflower Hill project (2020), which was a site donated to the City as part of <br />the Irby Ranch subdivision and developed with a ground lease and financial support from the <br />City as well as a range of other funding sources. <br /> <br />Generally, properties developed by market-rate (for-profit) developers have a mix of market- <br />rate and BMR units (e.g., Park Hacienda, Civic Square, Anton Hacienda, Galloways, and <br />Mason Flats). In contrast, those properties owned and managed by nonprofit developers <br />and/or through ground lease arrangements are typically 100% affordable (e.g., Ridge View <br />Commons, Kottinger Gardens, and Sunflower Hill). <br /> <br />The City has also contributed funds to support affordable rental housing development outside <br />of Pleasanton. In 2003, the City provided a $80,000 loan using federal HOME funds to support <br />the construction of Lorenzo Creek Apartments, a 28-unit affordable rental housing community <br />for formerly homeless and individuals with disabilities in Castro Valley. More recently, funding <br />has also been provided to support projects in Livermore, including the Goodness Village and <br />Vineyard 2.0 transitional housing projects. <br /> <br />Target Populations Served in City-Supported Housing Projects <br />Of the16 deed-restricted properties in Pleasanton, 7 properties, with approximately 660 units <br />(60% of the total) are for seniors 62 years and older in 100% affordable developments, while <br />the remaining units (40% or 413 units) are inclusionary units for non-seniors in mixed-income <br />developments. <br /> <br />As described above, these 100% senior affordable projects have historically been supported <br />through ground leasing of City-owned land to the developments: deed-restricted senior <br />Page 71 of 90
