Attachment 1 Pleasanton's long term workforce housing requirements* Premise: Regional Housing Needs Assessments (RHNA) numbers are driven by a city's plans for job generation. Pleasanton General Plan information regarding job generation (Land Use Element page 2-7): "If all commercial, office, industrial, and other employment-generating land were built out (including assumptions for East Pleasanton), Pleasanton would contain approximately 35 million square feet of building floor area, enough to support about 97,000 jobs. Without counting potential development in the East Pleasanton Specific Plan area this figure would be about 86,000 jobs. This holding capacity estimate assumes that employment generating uses are built at average densities (Table 2-3, above), vacancy rates average seven percent, and employment densities will approximate current levels..." Pleasanton's calculation for jobs in 2025 without any job generation in the East Side Specific Area Plan = 86,000. Typical number of employed residents per housing unit used to calculate workforce housing need= 1.6. 86,000 jobs/1.6 = 53,750 dwelling units needed for workforce housing by 2025. Current dwelling units in Pleasanton= 26,180 Pleasanton's additional workforce housing need by 2025 (53,750 - 26,180)=27,570 additional dwelling units Housing need generated by income level based on an average of historic RHNA affordability assignments: Income level % of the County median: Below 50%: 6892 du (25% of additional housing) Acres needed at 30 units/acre = 230 acres 50% to 80% : 5238 du (19% of additional housing) Acres needed at 30 units/acre= 175 acres 80% to 120%: 5514 du (20% of additional housing) Acres needed at 19 units/acre = 290 acres 120% and above: 9925 du (36% of additional housing) Acres needed at 3 units/acre =3308 acres *Although all our workforce housing requirements do not have to be met within Pleasanton's borders, it's my understanding that Pleasanton would have to get another jurisdiction to agree to house a portion of our workforce in addition to their own. Furthermore, this approach could prevent Pleasanton from meeting CO2 reduction goals.
