as the City's form of growth management as commercial development is approved, which is something that varies over time. She indicated that she would like those to be together and tracked together. Ms. Dennis indicated that if these are done, new ground will be broken as far as the City of Planned Progress, and a framework will be created where the City can solve its Housing Element approval process, and over time. Tom Pico, former City regarding the IZO not being adequate to provide the level of affordable housing the City will need, especially with the limitation placed by the sewer capacity. He stated that the City lost its cap on housing, which was one of the growth limits that was put in place, but the City has another growth limit in the sewer capacity and the expansion agreement which can only be modified by a vote of the people. He noted, however, that the vote of the people does not mean anything to a judge. He urged the Commission to look forward to more than just this General Plan update as this is not the first time, nor will it be the last time, that the State demands more housing and adjusts zoning. He stated that the City should really look at what its true sewer capacity, how close the City is to that limit, and how many more units the City can absorb. He noted that sewer capacity is ultimately limited by wet weather capacity outflow through the pipeline, which is at capacity as Dublin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD) has already allocated everything to the different cities, so there is no more for Pleasanton to get. He stated that he believes the City will get to that limit sooner than many people realize and will not be able to provide for inclusionary kind of zoning that it wants. Mr. Pico indicated that the reason he is at this meeting is to talk about the rezoning of the Axis Community Health property (Site 17), which is adjacent to his property. He inquired if the recommended zoning density for the site is 23 units per acre or 30 units per acre, or if it is still open. Chair Narum replied that the Commission would discuss the Sites after the discussion on the Goals, Policies, and Programs. She noted that the Task Force recommended it to be 23 units per acre. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. Commissioner Blank thanked everybody for submitting comments and letters; however, some came in as late as yesterday and today, and while he has had the chance to skim them, he would feel more comfortable with referring them back to staff. Chair Narum indicated that she felt the same way and would like staff to have a bit more time to provide their input and comments. Commissioner Pentin agreed with Commissioner Blank and Chair Narum. He added that if the Commission sends it back to staff or the Growth Management Subcommittee, he would like to put some emphasis on the three main things mentioned by Ms. Dennis, PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, June 22, 2011 Page 10 of 33
