longer be the case. A discussion on this occurred about two weeks at our City Council meeting and asked, "Now that RHNA is less of a factor in the planning of the East Side do we stop the process or do we proceed with a different perspective, which is to plan our community consistent with our general plan but without the pressure of RHNA hanging over us. After the discussion and public hearing the conclusion was, which wasn't unanimous, to finish the process, to engage the community thoughtfully, to slow down the process and create a vision for East Pleasanton. We delivered this message back to the Task Force Committee and will spend the next several months doing outreach with the community." Mr. Brian Dolan, Community Development Director continued to highlight the Housing Element and stated, "The RHNA assignment because of the economy was much lower than the last cycle. When we rezoned the 70 acres our assignment was 3200 units. This cycle we were assigned 2,067 and over a longer planning period." There are three categories that make up the current inventory: -Total Vacant/Underutilized Site Capacity - land which consists of small pieces where owners have held on to it, maybe developing it but it has the ability to be sub-divided. Lund Ranch is an example of such land. Some of this land we rezoned but never got a project application for. -Total Entitled Projects not occupied as of 12/31/13 — these were primarily projects that we did see come forward in that stretch since we adopted the housing element but because of the economy and financial issues, such as BRE, who's selling their company, etc. -Projects which have been approved but haven't submitted their construction drawings for a building permit, which could sit for a while. -Projects currently in process — which amount to 272 units and is a total between Kottinger Senior Housing Project and the Summer Hill Project, West Las Positas". "We have over 3,300 units in our inventory (reference the Summary Table in the presentation) and our requirement is only 2,067. Without rezoning anything we have a surplus of 1,245 units. Mr. Dolan noted City Council gave them direction in March to continue the East Pleasanton specific plan process and consider other alternatives without RHNA constraints. Mr. Dolan reviewed the East Pleasanton Planning Process: • Background information gathering. • Opportunities and constraints analysis • Vision • Preparation of land use/circulation plan alternatives • Analysis of plan alternatives • Selection of preferred plan altemative • Preparation of draft Specific Plan and EIR documents • Explore non-RHNA alternatives • Public outreach • Additional Task Force review • Planning Commission and City Council hearings and action City Manager Fialho stated, "Density drives the needs for school facilities. As this discussion produces a draft vision for the city to consider, part of the infrastructure needs, may or may not be a school site. The densities that we thought might be out on the East Side may not happen. As the Task Force Committee begins to select what the preferred option is we need to be mindful on what kind of impact that creates for the school district. We need to actively discuss what the school district's needs are so we can accommodate those needs and determine a financing plan." Questions/Comments from the Board/Council: Trustee Bowser clarified the area medium income (household of 4) of $85-89K, is based on the metropolitan area and not Pleasanton specifically.
