Mr Ken Kirkey Page 2 October 5,2016 Table 2: September 2016 Draft Preferred Scenario—PDA Hacienda Households Employment Plan Bay Area 2013 Growth Proposed Projection 2010 2040 2010 2040 Priority Development Area(Hacienda) 1,300 8,000 12,500 19,600 2010-2040 Change(30 Years) 6,700 7,100 Number Per Year(Over 30 Years) 223 237 2010-21.0 Percentage Change 515% 57% Average Percentage Change Per Year 17% 2% The Draft Preferred Scenario represents a significant departure from the anticipated growth in the City's General Plan, including Pleasanton's adopted and State certified Housing Element, as well as from previous projections provided by ABAG. Additionally, the growth projected for the Hacienda Business Park(Hacienda)—an average annual growth rate of 17%a year—is unrealistic and oddly disproportionate to what is projected for the remainder of the City Somewhat problematic for the level of growth is that while Hacienda is shown as a Potential PDA,there is no pending plan for a long-range plan to intensify development or include more residential opportunity sites for the area Further,the Draft Preferred Scenario far exceeds the City's current growth management ordinance allotment of 235 residential units per year These concerns have been communicated in previous letters and during conference calls with ABAG staff on March 31, 2016,April 13, 2016, and June 8, 2016 As previously communicated, I am proposing growth rates that I believe are consistent with the City's adopted planning policies and existing data. 1. A City-wide increase of 235 units(households)per year, which is consistent with the City's current annual benchmark established by the adopted growth management ordinance. This results in a 28%increase over the 30 years between 2010 and 2040, and an average annual increase of approximately 1%. 2. Update the baseline values for Hacienda Business Park to reflect correct values for households and jobs(these are based off the U S Census data) 1,540 households and approximately 17,000 jobs in 2010. I look forward to receiving revised projections for the Draft Preferred Scenario pnor to adoption by the ABAG Executive Board Sincerely, v Gerry Beaudin Director of Community Development
