He noted the item was updating everyone on the Housing Element process, which recently concluded and the future residential development. He shared that in accordance with State Planing and Zoning law which requires each city and county to address its share of the regional housing need (RHNA), and consistent with the Settlement Agreement entered into for the Urban Habitat litigation, the City adopted a new General Plan Housing Element in February 2012. He noted the cycle and the draft Regional Housing Needs Allocation for 2014-2022. Part of this work included rezoning of nine sites totaling 73 acres to allow multifamily residential development. If developed at the minimum densities specified, these nine sites could result in approximately 2,300 additional multifamily units. This action following the adoption of the Hacienda TOD Standards and Design Guidelines and rezoning of three sites near the Pleasanton/Dublin BART station in March 2011, and the approval of the 350 unit Windstar project at the West Pleasanton/Dublin BART station in 2009. As of January 2013 the City has approved projects on two of the Hacienda TOD sites, and is reviewing applications for development on four additional sites. Mr. Brian Dolan, Director of Community Development highlighted the following areas: Approved projects were: • Windstar— 350 units • BRE (Site 10) 255 units • BRE (Site 11) 251 units
