Table 2: RHNA Low- and Very Low- Income Capacity Le. 30+ units /acre) Restricted units through Affordable Housing Agreements At this time HCD has not formally reviewed Staff's analysis of the estimated capacity. Because the 291 entitled units are guaranteed through current Affordable Housing Agreements, staff is confident that HCD will accept these units for the purposes of the site inventory. However, staff has concerns regarding the adequacy of the vacant /underutilized land capacity. Although sites may be zoned to allow high density residential uses, they must also be viable for the development of such projects. Without knowing HCD's conclusions regarding the viability of all sites, staff hesitates to recommend that any high density site be removed from the site inventory and recommends authorization to submit to HCD with the proposed Housing Sites Inventory as drafted. Goals, Policies and Programs The previous Housing Element included a comprehensive update that included reviewing all Goals, Policies and Programs which were guided by the Housing Element Update Taskforce. With the comprehensive update completed in 2012, staff is recommending that most of the programs included in the 2007 -2014 Housing Element be carried forward with minor adjustments and refinements where necessary. Since many of the programs can help to achieve multiple goal and policy objectives, staff has included a guide within Exhibit E with a breakdown of all goals, policies and programs. The minor adjustments and refinements made to the 2007 -2014 programs include: • Modify "Time Period" objectives to meet the requirements of Government Code 65583; Case No. P14- 0440, City of Pleasanton Page 4 of 12 Planning Commission Low- and Very Low - Income Estimated Capacity Permitted and Approved Projects* 291* Sheraton Site 99 Stoneridge Shopping Center Site 88 Kaiser Site 183 BART Site 249 CM Capital 2 Site 200 Hacienda 3 (Roche) Site 372 Total 1,482 2014 -2022 RHNA 1,107 RHNA Surplus +375 Restricted units through Affordable Housing Agreements At this time HCD has not formally reviewed Staff's analysis of the estimated capacity.
