Commissioner Pearce requested that the record reflect that the two Planning Commission Task Force members are not in favor of keeping Site 18 on the list. Commissioner Blank moved to recommend the Draft Housing Element, including Goals, Policies, and Programs and Potential Housing Sites to the City Council as a draft to be submitted for the 60-day review by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD); to refer to staff the letters received by the Commission for further analysis and recommendation to the City Council, with copy to the Planning Commission; to reduce the density of three acres on Site 7 from 30 units per acre to 23 units per acre, and to increase the density of three acres on Site 13 from 23 units per acre to 30 units per acre; and to increase the potential acreage for multi-family development on Site 8 from 5.3 acres to 11.5 acres. Commissioner Pentin seconded the motion. Commissioner Olson proposed an amendment to the motion to add the phrase and to the Growth Management Subcommittee. Commissioner Blank and Pentin accepted the amendment. proposed a further amendment to the motion with respect to the proposal raised by former Mayor Pico that new housing, especially high density housing, be required to provide on-site parking for those units rather than paying into in-lieu parking fee program. Commissioner Blank and Pentin accepted the amendment. Commissioner Pentin noted that there was discussion that the East Pleasanton Specific Plan be completed prior to development of Sites 11 and 14, with a sunset on the Specific Plan by the second quarter of 2013, after which the sites could develop should the Specific Plan not be completed by then. Ms. Stern advised that this was part of the Housing Element Task Force recommendations and, therefore, is not required as part of the motion. Chair Narum also proposed an amendment to the motion that the City forward all the sites to the HCD, with the caveat that the intent is for the City to ultimately rezone only the actual needed acreages after feedback is received from the HCD. Commissioner Blank and Pentin accepted the amendment. Commissioner Pentin inquired if, since the letters are being forwarded to the Growth Management Subcommittee and the City Council, the Commission needs to address the matter of linking jobs to housing in relation to the public comment made that the 15-percent requirement in the IZO housing needs.
