DRAFT <br /> Commissioner Posson noted that Mr. Dolan mentioned that the School District came <br /> back with its "Asks" and what they want to see as far as the overall program. He <br /> inquired if that significantly skews the draft fiscal analysis or if that is still in the ballpark <br /> of feasibility with the new data. <br /> Mr. Dolan replied that it is a big "Ask," and the Council has to decide what it is going to <br /> do about it, and if it says yes, then the City will burden this development with all those <br /> costs, and it will be a game changer. <br /> Commissioner O'Connor asked Mr. Dolan if he can enlighten the Commission as to <br /> what all those "Asks" are. <br /> Mr. Dolan replied that the District asked for free land and someone to build the school. <br /> Commissioner Allen inquired what the cost t to build a school roughly is. <br /> Mr. Dolan replied that he believed he heard $23 million. <br /> Chair Pearce commented that it's a lot. <br /> Commissioner O'Connor ask who the "someone" was the School District wanted to <br /> build the school, if they are talking about asking to impose fees or if they are just asking <br /> for the developers to build the school themselves. <br /> Chair Pearce replied that the District is asking the developers to build it. <br /> Commissioner Posson asked the question from one of the speakers on why the City is <br /> on the schedule that it is on. <br /> Mr. Dolan replied that he tried to allude to that in his last answer. He stated that the City <br /> is so far behind on its last RHNA round, and it got its Housing Element to address <br /> RHNA in the final year of an eight-year planning period. He noted that a year has gone <br /> by, and now the City has to have another Housing Element done and complete all the <br /> rezonings, accomplished and annexations if necessary, and going to LACO by the end <br /> of next year. He indicated that the City cannot really do the Housing Element without <br /> really knowing what is going on in East Pleasanton since this area is going to be one of <br /> the areas the City is getting the units from. <br /> Commissioner Allen stated that there was one other question asked as to what the time <br /> frame was for building out this Plan if the plans were approved and how that fit with the <br /> Growth Management Plan. <br /> Mr. Dolan replied that that is a big question, and he does not have the answer to it yet. <br /> He stated that one of the big tasks in front of the City now is how to figure out how to <br /> finance this, and obviously, the pace of growth has a lot to do with that. He reiterated <br /> that it is a big challenge but the City has not gotten there yet. <br /> DRAFT EXCERPT: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, 9/25/2013 Page 23 of 28 <br />
