{' PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. Discussion ensued relating to whether affordable housing units allocated carry over into the next year. Mr. Swift noted that for affordable housing units you can borrow into the future, but it is not an automatic roll over. Commissioner Maas moved that it be recommended to the City Council that the total allocation for 2000 and 2001 total 350 units respectively; that the Vineyard Corridor, golf course-related projects, and/or the New Cities Development project be detennined as major projects; that sub. allocations for lower-income projects be at 50, first-come, first-served at 100, major projects at 200, with the first-come, first-served and major projects units being interchangeable with each other for 2000 and 2001, as necessary; that the 82 units allocated for the three projects be reallocated to 2000 as requested; that action on the project allocation for Vineyard Corridor, golf course and New Cities Development be delayed until the results of the golf course and annexation are received; that there be direction to the City Council that the Lund Ranch project be discussed with a strong reminder that according to the ordinance, Growth Management can be reviewed at any time; and that the Council review regional growth management in conjunction with the New Cities Development project. {' Discussion ensued relating to delaying project allocations for Vineyard Corridor, golf-course related projects, and New Cities Development. Commissioner Maas noted she would amend her motion to include that the Vineyard Corridor be detennined as a major project and the golf course-related projects and the New Cities Development project be detennined as first-come, first.served projects. Chairperson Roberts seconded the motion. Commissioner Arkin noted his support for having office and residential structures adjacent to each other. He noted that 26 percent of the workers who live in Pleasanton actually work in Pleasanton. He suggested that developers for projects develop an advertising campaign that would encourage people who live in Pleasanton to work in Pleasanton. He spoke in favor of having a two percent increase for the next three years in the numbers of residents who work in Pleasanton. Mr. Swift noted that part of growth management is giving direction to the development community of the projects the Commission would like to see in the future, such as Commissioner Arkin's suggestion of future projects that move toward accommodating a higher percentage of residents who work in Pleasanton. Commissioner Maas noted she would amend her motion to include Commissioner Arkin's suggestion. r Commissioner Sullivan noted he would not be in support of the allocations. Further, he would recommend that the City Council have discussion with the community before allocations are issued. He noted that the City of Pleasant on and all the other cities are detennining growth decisions based on the City's needs and infrastructure without consideration for the effects on other areas.

He noted that growth management analyzes the human-made infrastructure of whether there are enough schools, roads, and sewers; however, natural infrastructure are not discussed, such as natural resources and services that support activity and human life which include nature's ecosystem services that allow clean air, water, PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES January 26, 2000 Page 15
