in the Housing Element to expand the inventory of land available for the development of new housing within the City. To expand the inventory of land available for the development of new housing, Pleasanton will be rezoning several of the sites identified in Table 1 and corresponding Figure 1 below, sufficient to meet Pleasanton's remaining unmet housing need, or approximately 55 acres of land zoned at a minimum of 30 units per acre and 14 acres of land zoned for a minimum of 23 units per acre. Similarly, with the adoption of the Housing Element, the Land Use Element of the General Plan will be amended to address the land use designation changes needed for the new housing sites. It is also anticipated that some of the sites shown in Table 1 and Figure 1 will be rezoned to allow for mixed-use development. The final inventory of sites for rezoning to allow high-density-residential development and/or mixed-use development has not been approved by the Pleasanton City Council. The draft maximum development potential for sites 1-21 is shown in Table 3 (below). The scope of the Housing Element Update also includes 3 sites in Hacienda (sites 22-24 in Table 2 and Figure 2 below) which were rezoned in November 2009, after the adoption of the Pleasanton General Plan, to expand the inventory of land available for housing. After the rezoning, Hacienda Transit Oriented Development (TOD) standards and Design Guidelines and a corresponding mitigated negative declaration were approved in February 2011 for these sites. Page 33 of the approved mitigated negative declaration for the Hacienda TOD Standards and Design Guidelines states: "If future residential development of these sites were to exceed 500 units, they may be subject to a requirement to complete a Water Supply Assessment." This WSA addresses this requirement. The maximum development potential for sites 22-24 is shown in Table 3. For the purpose of this WSA, the 2007-2014 Housing Element Update, the corresponding General Plan land use redesignations, the corresponding rezonings, and the 3 sites in Hacienda which were rezoned in November 2009 to expand the inventory of land available for housing are herein referred to as the "Housing Element Update Project". Regular updates of the Housing Element are required of each city and county in the State of California to address the housing needs of all residents and all income levels. The current requirement for cities and counties within the San Francisco Bay Area is to have an updated Housing Element addressing needs over the current planning period (2007-2014). The City's previous Housing Element for the 2000-2005 planning period was adopted in April 2003. Draft Water Supply Assessment—Updated November 2011 Page 2 of 17
