DRAFT Commissioner Ritter stated that one of the questions asked was about whether Table 2, the estimated RHNA numbers, includes all of Pleasanton and not just East Pleasanton. Mr. Dolan replied that it includes all of Pleasanton. Commissioner Ritter referred to the estimated RHNA number of 2,058 high density for the 2022-2030 Planning Period and inquired if, basically this would be incorporated if the Option that is approved is over 2,058, and conversely, if the Preferred Option that has 1,759 is approved, it will just be short of that 2,058 number. Mr. Dolan replied that for this first round, the City will do fine with any of the Alternatives on the Very Low, but it does not do very well going to the next round. He noted that the only place that the City will really be short on any of the Alternatives is the Moderate, which the City will have to find some of. Commissioner Ritter requested confirmation that that is for all of Pleasanton and not just East Pleasanton. Mr. Dolan stated that was correct, although the City might have a little extra 30-units-per-acre that the City could say is Moderate, but the City might not want to waste that on the Moderate. Chair Pearce stated that there are some discussion points but noted that she feels the Commission has already answered them. She asked Mr. Dolan if staff wanted the Commission to go over these. Mr. Dolan replied that all that is really needed is for the Commission to come to a consensus on a Preferred Alternative or if it has some suggestions on one or more of the other Alternatives. Commissioner O'Connor stated that as he mentioned earlier, he remembers a smaller plan with somewhere between 1,400 and 1,500 units, possibly the 1,430-unit Plan that was brought up by a couple of speakers. He indicated that he would actually like to see that Plan brought back so it could be studied in the EIR. He pointed out that the reason he is asking for that is because right now, there are three variations of Options 5, and they all have the same number of units but tweaked a bit differently. He stated that he thinks it would be easier if the Option 5 came back looking like the Preferred Plan, and it would be easier to have something tweaked out of it and coming up with a third Plan if there were only two in the study. He indicated that he does not care if all three are kept in the study, but he thinks it is harder to jump back and try and find a midpoint where that mix or numbers have to be changed. He added that he would like to get the 1,430-unit Plan that was presented at the last Work Session dropped back in as an Option so it could be looked at, either as a seventh Plan or as an Option replacing Option 5A or Option 5B. He added that he thinks it would add more value if there were a Plan that 1,000 units, 1,300 units, 1,400 plus, then jump to 1,700 and then to 2,200.
