<br />DRAFT <br /> <br />Page 24 <br />There were no comments. <br /> <br />Page 25 <br />Commissioner Roberts expressed concern about references to "fair-share regional market <br />housing" because there had been a lot of questioning about how the City's fair share was <br />allocated. She noted that in the long run, it may change and may be reassessed. <br /> <br />Ms. Stem noted that would happen, but there would still be a share to which Pleasanton would <br />be expected to contribute. Several members of the Council shared Commissioner Roberts' <br />concerns. <br /> <br />Pages 26 - 28 <br />There were no comments. <br /> <br />Page 29 <br />Commissioner Roberts believed there was already a second mortgage program. Ms. Stem <br />confirmed that was the case. Commissioner Roberts also believed that "workforce" should be <br />defined. Ms. Stem added that was being worked on as well. <br /> <br />Commission Pearce inquired what a Green Transit Demonstration Project was. Ms. Ou noted <br />that it could not be defined until the project was closer to realization. She noted that it gave <br />people an opportunity to see how something like that might work <br /> <br />Commissioner Roberts believed the transit demonstration should be separated from the <br />alternative energy component, which also increased the cost. <br /> <br />Commissioner Blank inquired whether the language "consider ways to optimize the ACE train <br />station" meant ways to improve the station. Ms. Ou replied that it would explore ways to <br />increase readership. Commissioner Blank did not see a similar statement regarding BART, so it <br />became a more pleasant way to travel. He believed that ACE may take people from Pleasanton <br />to other work locations than people taking BART and ACE to come to work in Pleasanton. <br /> <br />Economic and Fiscal Element (Attachments 3 and 4) <br /> <br />Page 1 <br />Commission Pearce noted that she was generally pro-Pleasanton and suggested replacing the <br />language referring to "spillover effects of Silicon Valley expansion" with "Pleasanton benefited <br />from the Silicon Valley's technical expansion." <br /> <br />Pages 2 - 8 <br />There were no comments. <br /> <br />Page 9 <br />Chairperson Arkin commented on the language about property taxes, which seemed to encourage <br />people to move around a lot. <br /> <br />DRAFT EXCERPT: PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES, March 29, 2006 Page 4 of 6 <br />
