bathrooms are provided for each unit. Therefore, the applicant could redesign the units at the building permit stage with fewer than two bathrooms and the roll -in showers will not then be required by the CBC. If the one bathroom option is not acceptable to the Planning Commission, this should be reflected in the conditions of approval. Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance The applicant will designate 31 units for moderate income households (120 percent of the Area Median Income [AMI] or an $85,750 annual income for a two person household) in perpetuity and five units for low income households (80 percent of AMI or a $57,120 annual income for a two person household) in perpetuity. The Pleasanton Housing Commission reviewed the draft Low- and Moderate Income Housing Agreement at its February 18 meeting and recommended its adoption to the City Council. At the meeting, Jessica Lehman and Carmen Rivera Hendrickson spoke on designating some apartments for Very Low Income and Extremely Low Income households. The Draft Housing Agreement and the Housing Commission staff report and meeting minutes are attached as Exhibit E and Exhibit F. Green Building Measures The applicant's Multi- Family GreenPoint Checklist is attached as Exhibit D and estimates 110 points for the proposal. The City requirement for multi family development is a minimum of 50 points. Staff verified 99 points for the proposed development, exceeding the City's 50 -point minimum and the Council's direction of greater than 80 points, and determined that an additional 22 points may be achieved with verification of the building plans. Staff believes that a minimum of 100 points can be achieved with verification of the building plans and, therefore, has conditioned the project to achieve this minimum. The applicant concurs to make this change which is reflected as a draft condition of approval Amenities Staff supports the proposed amenities for the revised project: a new resident lounge /exercise area, a new group entertaining patio with tables and chairs, a new swimming pool with a sun deck plus arbor, lounge chairs, and tables and chairs. The tot lot will be moved to a new location on the site. There will be no Jacuzzi /spa. As stated previously, the grade elevation of this area will be lowered by three to four feet, removing the existing access ramps, thereby improving its ADA accessibility. Three new apartment buildings and the new leasing office /resident lounge /exercise room, and a swimming and sun deck will be constructed in this area. Staff also supports removing the tennis court and sports court as they are not being used and their removal serves to provide for low- and moderate income rental housing. Staff investigated the feasibility of removing driveways and parking areas for additional common area and amenities. The Civic Square Apartment development was designed as a series of building clusters surrounded on four sides by private driveways or by a combination of private driveways and public streets. The Civic Square site plan placed the buildings and apartments within 150 feet of a public /private street or access driveway, the design standard applied at the time to residential developments constructed in the City. The driveways were an alternative to emergency turnarounds. Item 6.b., PUDM- 84- 21 -04M Page 11 of 17 March 10, 2010
