Box 2050 <br /> Oakland, CA 94604-2050 <br /> Re. Plan Bay Area 2040 Preliminary Draft Scenario Numbers <br /> Dear Messrs. Paul, Jaramillo, and Shorett, <br /> Thank you for discussing the City's comments on the Plan Bay Area 2040 Preliminary Draft <br /> Scenarios on March 31, 2016 <br /> As we discussed, our comments in response to the Plan Bay Area 2040 Preliminary Draft <br /> Scenarios dated December 22, 2015 are outlined in our letter dated January 15, 2016, and <br /> can be summarized as follows. <br /> 1 The 2010 Base Year household and job numbers for the Hacienda Pnonty <br /> Development Area (PDA) are higher than the values identified. <br /> 2 All three scenarios far exceed the City's current growth management ordinance <br /> allotment of 235 residential units per year and would not be considered realistic. <br /> 3 All three scenarios represent a significant departure from the anticipated growth in the <br /> Housing Element, and from ABAG's previous projections, are not consistent with the <br /> City's existing planning documents and should be revised accordingly. <br /> 4 The rate of growth projected for the Hacienda PDA (which is not a planned PDA) far <br /> surpasses the rate of growth projected elsewhere in the City and is not realistic <br /> 5 We would appreciate the opportunity to review the metrics for the projections and <br /> details on the comprehensive analytical process used to develop detailed geographic <br /> distributions of the regional forecast for each scenario, and details of Pleasanton's <br /> simulation on the UrbanSim modeling tool. <br /> COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT P.O.
