Box 2050 Oakland, CA 94604-2050 Re. Plan Bay Area 2040 Scenarios Feedback Dear Messrs Paul, Jaramollo, and Shorett, Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the three scenarios for Plan Bay Area 2040 We understand that the information related to household and total employment growth by jurisdiction is not currently available Therefore, absent this critical Information, we are open any of the three scenarios at this time Should this information become available in the future, please provide it to us at your earliest opportunity so that we may review the scenarios in conjunction with the specific parameters for Pleasanton Additionally, thank you again for taking the time to discuss the City's comments on the Plan Bay Area 2040 Preliminary Draft Scenarios on March 31, 2016 This conference call was follow-up to the City's letter dated January 15, 2016, which provided comments on the Plan Bay Area 2040 Preliminary Draft Scenarios dated December 22, 2015 We would like to take this opportunity to reiterate these comments, summarized as follows 1 The 2010 Base Year household and job numbers for the Hacienda Pnonty Development Area (PDA) are higher than the values identified. 2 All three scenarios far exceed the City's current growth management ordinance allotment of 235 residential units per year and would not be considered realistic. 3 All three scenanos represent a significant departure from the anticipated growth in the Housing Element, and from ABAG's previous projections, are not consistent with the City's existing planning documents and should be revised accordingly 4 The rate of growth projected for the Hacienda PDA (which is not a planned PDA) far surpasses the rate of growth projected elsewhere in the City and is not realistic COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT P.O.
