GP-82-8, City of Pleasanton <br />Review of draft revised Housing Element of the General Plan of <br />the City of Pleasanton formulated pursuant to State Government Code <br />Section 65583 and State Housing Element Guidelines. The purpose <br />of the revised element is to evaluate existing and projected com- <br />munity housing needs and to offer a workable housing program to meet <br />said needs. The Planning Commission may approve, modify or deny <br />the application or recommend to the City Council any action deemed <br />in the public interest. A negative declaration of environmental <br />impacts was also considered. <br />Mr. Harris presented the staff report stating that Tom Passanisi <br />of the planning staff would like to give a short presentation and <br />answer any questions. <br />Commissioner Getty said the report is fascinating, she has read it <br />all and enjoyed it. <br />Tom Passanisi, described the proposed changes over the other Element. <br />Commissioner Wilson spoke to the 25~ multiples and 75~ single- <br />family and indicated he thought he had proposed a change to this <br />figure. Commissioner Getty said this was discussed some time ago. <br />Mr. Harris said the general plan map reflects a 25~-75o ratio. <br />The public hearing was opened. <br />Mike Parsons presented a letter concerning the Element. He said the <br />staff has done a good job. Commissioner Doherty addressed item <br />number two of Mr. Parson's letter. <br />Mr. Parsons explained there was a referendum as required by law <br />appropriating 150 units and 50 have been used. <br />Mr. Parsons said the housing authority currently has its hands full <br />with Arroyo Vista, however, they have been working with the Chamber <br />of Commerce, non-profit housing corporation to do something in <br />Pleasanton for low income housing. <br />Commissioner Wilson asked Mr. Parsons if he agreed with the "Affordable <br />Housing" concept. Mr. Parsons said he did not like this wording as <br />it is not clearly defined. <br />The public hearing was closed. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Getty, seconded by Commissioner <br />Doherty that the negative declaration prepared for case GP-82-8 <br />be recommended for adoption inasmuch as approval of the draft <br />Housing Element will have no significant adverse effect on the <br />environment. <br />-27- <br />
