were advised that staff anticipates some minor amendments and language clarification to the <br /> agreement will be necessary. <br /> Commissioner Mermelstein questioned whether the 8.4-acre site met the City's inclusionary <br /> requirements. <br /> Commissioner Butler felt that much emphasis had been placed on obtaining three-bedroom <br /> units in this development and questioned if there was a demonstrated demand. Mr. Bocian <br /> advised that throughout prior discussions it had been stated that the city did not place enough <br /> emphasis on providing affordable units for larger families. In addition, frequent inquiries for <br /> larger apartments indicate that there is a demand for three bedroom units. <br /> Commissioner Butler indicated that he did not understand what the advantage would be to the <br /> City by approving what the developer is asking. Mr. Bocian advised that the City cannot <br /> overlook recent litigation that places new parameters on affordable housing negotiations. <br /> Chairperson Casey asked about percentage numbers established by the City in the agreement <br /> and whether these were the figures established in the recent litigation. Commissioner Butler <br /> questioned whether such numbers would be used in the future to attract other developers. Mr. <br /> Bocian advised that there have been some discussions with other developers and it will be <br /> incumbent upon the City to try to get agreements that achieve expressed goals. <br /> Commissioner Mermelstein asked about continuation of the Housing Fund if Lower Income <br /> Housing Fees are not being collected. Mr. Bocian advised that the City will likely have to <br /> consider other alternatives to address this matter and will need to have an effective policy that <br /> will hold up to any further litigation. <br /> Mr. Bocian discussed with Commissioner Welsh how the affordable housing within this project <br /> would meet the requirements of the Housing Element. He also provided information about <br /> affordable rent levels. Commissioner Welsh asked whether or not a density bonus was being <br /> provided to the developer. <br /> Chairperson Casey opened the meeting for public comment at 7:37 p.m. <br /> Brett Leon, Sares Regis Group—reviewed a slide presentation of the project with <br /> Commissioners. He provided information regarding: community benefits; Hacienda Business <br /> Park location; urban design concept; open space; garden areas; podium buildings; parking <br /> areas; community amenities; and unit design. <br /> Commissioner Welsh was advised by Mr. Leon that the total square footage for residential units <br /> would be over 300,000 square feet. <br /> Mr. Bocian provided information to Commissioner Probert about procedures for agreements <br /> with disabled applicants. <br /> Commissioner Lopez questioned whether affordable units would be distributed throughout the <br /> complex and whether they would have a different grade of finishes compared to market units. <br /> Commissioner Butler discussed the feasibility of the project with Mr. Leon and whether they had <br /> any concerns about filling the units. Mr. Leon stated that this is a unique site and Pleasanton <br /> Partners does not anticipate any issues achieving occupancy. He further advised <br /> Commissioner Welsh that his company has not, at this time, considered phasing the project. <br /> Page- 3 - <br />
