Mr Ken Kirkey Page 2 November 15,2016 Table 2: September 2016 Draft Preferred Scenario—PDA Hacienda Households Employment Plan :ay 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 2010-2040 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 Without such a long-range plan, infrastructure and public services may not be sufficient to accommodate projected growth Further, the Draft Preferred Scenario far exceeds the City's current growth management ordinance allotment of 235 residential units per year Projected annual average household growth in Pleasanton at 1 3% also outpaces ABAG's and MTC's desired growth rates for the greater Bay Area and Alameda County, which in the Draft Preferred Scenario are expected to increase by 1% and 1 1%, respectively These concerns have been communicated in previous letters sent from City staff to ABAG/MTC dated January 15, 2016, April 13, 2016, June 8, 2016, June 8, 2016, October 5, 2016, and October 13, 2016 and during a conference call between City staff ABAG staff on March 31, 2016 The City Council is respectfully requesting that MTC and ABAG staff re-examine the Draft Preferred Scenario numbers to more accurately reflect Pleasanton's planned growth Sincerely, Jerry Thorne Kathy Narum Karla Brown Arne Olson Jerry Pentin Mayor Vice Mayor Councilmember Councilmember Councilmember Cc Nelson Fialho, City Manager Gerry Beaudm, Director of Community Development Miriam Chion, ABAG, Director of Planning & Research, miriamc @abag ca gov
