While it is disappointing the <br /> project falls short of meeting the need for affordable housing generated by its own development, it <br /> certainly comes closer to that goal than projects previously approved. I understand the difficulty <br /> developers face when attempting to provide affordable units in Pleasanton at this time. I encourage <br /> you to consider policies that include a role for non-profit housing developers in meeting those needs. <br /> The project before you is a result of the cooperation of Gateway to seriously tackle the problem of <br /> housing affordability and the willingness of the City to assist by reducing the LIHF on the single family <br /> dwellings in exchange for an increase in the rental units affordability level. This was a good solution; I <br /> applaud the City for supporting the exchange. <br /> As a member of CCC I appreciate Gateways effort to respond to the need for affordable housing in <br /> Pleasanton. I urge your approval of this project. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Dolores Bengtson <br /> Click here to report this email as spam. <br /> i <br />
