Mr. Rasmussen added that this area is currently included within the City limits and so even though this is beyond the UGB line, it is also in the City and zoned industrial. Commissioner Olson stated that based on what Mr. Dolan's said, he agreed with Commissioner Posson that it would be all right to move it, particularly relative to El Charro Road hooking up with the Shadow Cliff entry. He indicated that he feels strongly about doing that. Commissioner Pearce stated that she agreed with Commissioner Olson. She explained that for all the reasons that Mr. Dolan and Mr. Rasmussen said, and these are all conversations at the Task Force level, she thinks it is a real potential win whether it needs to be done, whether it is minor, or whether it needs to be done by the book. She indicated that she believes it is a good option for this property. 2. How much of the City's future Regional Housing Needs Allocation should be accommodated in the East Pleasanton Specific Plan area? 3. What should be the mix of single-family vs. multi-family housing? Commissioner Olson stated that he thinks the Commission ought to stick with balance and try to maintain a similar mix as what the rest of the City has. He noted that looking at that relative to the UGB, he is reminded that for years the City had a housing cap and ended up having to do away with that. He further noted that it the City keeps a tight boundary, it will be forced to end up violating the current mix the City has. Chair Blank agreed with Commission Olson. He stated that his view is that the Commission should not think about this as how much the RHNA should be accommodated but rather, start off with getting the 75/25-percent balance, or push it to 65/35 percent, and whatever that number computes to is the number. He indicated that he would not go below 65 percent and added that as Commission O'Connor pointed out, he does not know how many times, when the Commission was doing that initial housing sites map, people with vested interests with building low-income housing came up in front of the Commission saying, "Do not make this different; do not put it all there; you will be making a huge mistake." He stated that he would rather say, "Let us make it just like the rest of Pleasanton, and whatever numbers drive out of that, those are the numbers. If we have to go elsewhere to find the rest of the numbers, than we go elsewhere to find the rest of the numbers, and that is fine." Commission Olson agreed. Commissioner Posson stated that he was thinking that while the rest of the City is currently at about a 75/25-percent split, that could change in the future if the City finds more space within the rest of the City to accommodate any new RHNA numbers the City may have. He indicated that he does not know what the maximum would be, and it would be more problematic, as Mr. Dolan mentioned, to come up with a number today if we went with 25/75 percent today. He questioned whether the City would be able to EXCERPT: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, May 22, 2013 Page 21 of 30
