20% of the dwelling units as affordable to very low, low, and /or moderate income households. He then provided information about Ponderosa's Ironwood Development, an Affordable Housing Agreement (AHA) approved in 2003, and the Inclusionary Unit Credits (51 (IUCs) available for Ponderosa to be used at Ponderosa's Busch Road site or, subject to City Council approval, at other unspecified sites in the City. Commissioner Lombardo asked about a greenbelt area for the development and whether the credits to be used were the remaining credits. Commissioners reviewed a map of the proposed Rose Avenue site and raised questions regarding the proximity to the golf course and what would happen should the golf course remain, since the request was based on Ponderosa using all of the IUCs. Mr. Dolan noted that final approval of the request would come from City Council. Commissioner Meyers discussed City Council's willingness to accept the change and the amount of time left on the golf course lease. She also discussed ownership of the remaining three (3) lots. Pam Hardy, Ponderosa Homes representative, indicated that Ponderosa were happy with the Affordable Housing concept and sharing of credits for this project. She advised that City Council has in the past granted credits for estate lots and Ponderosa believes using the credits in -lieu of providing affordable units is the correct way to move forward. Ms. Hardy also provided information about a fence to be built on the project. Commissioner Lombardo questioned whether the homes would be sellable with such a large fence being installed. Ms. Hardy provided information about arrangements made with the Alameda County Fairground group and believes the homes will sell, even with a large fence that will have plantings in place to hide the fence. Commissioner Gaidos felt there was no issue with the request from Ponderosa to utilize the Affordable Housing Credits in lieu of providing affordable units. Commissioner Meyers expressed her concern about what might happen if Ponderosa was unable to build the other three units and questioned when this request would be submitted to City Council for their approval. A motion was made by Commissioner Galvin, seconded by Commissioner Gaidos, to approve the Ponderosa Homes Rose Avenue Estates (PUD -99) Affordable Housing Agreement allowing the use of IUCs in lieu of providing affordable units for development located at 1851 Rose Avenue.
