Questions regarding the litigation, State housing law, and the voter initiated <br /> residential cap. <br /> As noted above, State housing law requires that land counted towards fulfillment <br /> of the low- and very low income housing requirement be zoned for development <br /> at 30 or more units per acre. Zoning at this density would make housing <br /> affordable to low and very low income households more financially feasible; <br /> however, it is most likely that any future residential development on the subject <br /> sites would include a mix of affordable and market -rate units. The City's <br /> inclusionary zoning ordinance would require that 15 percent of units are <br /> affordable to low- and very-low income households with the remaining 85 percent <br /> being rented or sold at market rate. The residential development which could <br /> result from these rezonings can be accommodated within the 29,000 unit cap. <br /> Skepticism regarding the reduction in trips likely with transit oriented <br /> development compared to conventional development or traditional business park <br /> uses. <br /> Additional information regarding "mode- shift" (i.e., percent of trips by walking, <br /> bicycle, transit, etc. rather than single occupancy car) as a result of transit <br /> oriented development, drawing on examples from Bay Area TODs, will be <br /> provided to the public and decision makers as part of the PUD Major Modification <br /> planning process. <br /> A preference expressed by one resident for a quiet environment after business <br /> hours and on weekends. No desire for additional uses or activity in the area. <br /> Concern regarding the potential impact on Hacienda assessments on existing <br /> housing units as a result of additional residential development. <br /> James Paxson responded that there is currently no reason to think the residential <br /> assessments would be raised. <br /> Concern regarding the impact of additional development on the existing <br /> infrastructure. <br /> In general there are no known infrastructure inadequacies. However, all such <br /> potential impacts will be evaluated as part of the PUD Modification process and <br /> at the time a development plan is reviewed for a specific site. <br /> Page 9 of 12 <br />
