Box 520 Pleasanton, California 94566 Dear Ms. Acosta: RE: Review of the City of Pleasanton's Revised Draft Housing Element Thank you for submitting Pleasanton's revised draft housing element, received for our review on February 6, 1996. As you know, we are required to review draft housing elements and report our findings to the locality pursuant to Government Code Section 65585(b). A telephone conversation with Mr. Wayne Rasmussen, of the City's Department of Planning and Community Development, on March 4, 1996 assisted our review. This letter and Appendix summarizes that conversation. While Pleasanton's adopted housing element continues to comply with State housing element law (Article 10.6 of the Government Code), the current revised draft will require revisions to comply with State housing element law. The current draft element lacks a number of required sections that were a part of the supplement to the previous element (the current adopted element). For example, the current element lacks a complete analysis of the City's land use controls as potential and actual constraints upon the maintenance, improvement, or development of housing for all levels, and does not review the implementation of the housing programs of the current adopted element. A more thorough discussion of the deficiencies of the draft housing element is contained in the Appendix. We hope our comments are helpful to the City. We appreciate the assistance of Mr. Rasmussen during the course of our review. If you have any questions, or if we can assist the City in the revision of its housing element, please feel free to contact Robert Maus, of our staff, at (916) 327-2640.
