Councilmember Sullivan referred to the ordinance, discussed a collaborative and public <br /> process, and indicated it could be a citizen's or stake holder's committee who works and <br /> develops recommendations to the Council or provide a public hearing where everyone gets an <br /> opportunity for public comment. City Manager Fialho said it is open-ended because the Council <br /> was not specific in terms of its direction. Assuming the measure is approved in November staff <br /> would return to the Council and receive specific direction. <br /> Councilmember Sullivan referred to the housing cap definition. He questioned whether or not on <br /> the CLC project, some formula would be developed at some point and not in advance of voting <br /> on the initiative, but at a later time when assisted living facilities would be determined. City <br /> Attorney Roush said the language is to address situations such as the community care facility <br /> because the City has not had that specific type of facility before. Even in the context of a true <br /> assisted living facility, the Council could look at and determine whether that facility had impacts <br /> on community services and infrastructure and make a determination as to whether some portion <br /> of those should count toward the housing cap. As a practical matter that would be done with or <br /> without this particular initiative. <br /> Councilmember Sullivan voiced concern with the outcome of the proposed ordinance. He <br /> believed it was asking the public to vote and tell us that they agree with the current policy for <br /> hillside protection in the general plan, and secondly, we are saying we plan to develop a plan to <br /> develop a hillside protection ordinance. Ms. Seto said the direction is to develop the hillside <br /> protection ordinance and hillside design guidelines, which would be completed by November <br /> 2009. City Attorney Roush said it does not commit a particular outcome with respect to the <br /> process. It does indicate that a process will be followed but there is no direction given in terms <br /> of what that outcome will look like. <br /> City Manager Fialho suggested Councilmember Sullivan refer to the staff report, which attempts <br /> to identify six broad objectives of the measure; 1) through a collaborative and public process <br /> identify critical ridges and scenic hillsides; 2) that we would focus on the southeast hills; 3) that <br /> we would definitely develop some sort of ordinance; 4) or hillside guideline to affect that; 5) that <br /> we would do it in a specific timeframe and further; 6) clarify the process for counting housing <br /> units. <br /> Councilmember Sullivan said as compared to the citizen's initiative which says, if you vote yes <br /> on this, these are the policies that will be in place when it becomes effective. City Manager <br /> Fialho said the outcome will be an ordinance and the implementation of that ordinance is up for <br /> discussion. <br /> Mayor Hosterman said rather than taking the language contained in the initiative just discussed, <br /> the Council should have the opportunity to create language that meets the goals and desires of <br /> all of the people involved on the first initiative, which will culminate with ordinance language that <br /> we can actually implement. <br /> Councilmember McGovern said she has shown her concern over the last two months that the <br /> housing cap has been challenged, and that the future of the urban growth boundary can also be <br /> challenged. When she worked on the Pleasanton Ridgeline initiative, she thought she was <br /> protecting all ridge lands and had no idea of what the name of the ridgeline was. She is <br /> concerned about having to do this over again. She stated based on what the City faces, she is <br /> concerned that whatever is done must protect all of the ridgelines in Pleasanton. She feels the <br /> citizen's initiative protects citizens; hopes that staff is forward-thinking and being assured that no <br /> matter if the housing cap or the urban growth boundary is overturned, the ridgelines are <br /> protected. <br /> City Council Minutes 9 July 15, 2008 <br />
