residential project (CM Capital Properties came in and received approval for some extensive commercial upgrades); and other projects that staff thinks will remain in the City's inventory in the 2014 -2022 RHNA cycle (BART, Kaiser, Sheraton, Stoneridge Shopping Center, and Roche Molecular), which is less than 1,000 units to satisfy quite a bit of need over the next 16 years. She then showed on another slide that the City would need to plan for 797 additional units in the 2014 -2022 RHNA cycle, subtracting the City's estimated 2014 housing inventory of 1,261 units from the 2014 -2022 RHNA cycle need of 2,058 units. She noted that the estimate for the next planning period includes about 111 very-low- income or higher- density units, 405 moderate income such as a garden- apartment style sort of development, and 281 above - moderate units. She further noted that this is an estimate and may vary a bit, based on what gets approved and what does not. Ms. Stern explained that staff does not really have much to go on in terms of estimating what the RHNA could be for 2022 to 2030. She indicated that staff is working from the assumption that it may be the same as that of the last period, and is aware that the numbers may change and will need refocusing once more information becomes available. She noted that adding in these assumed numbers for the period 2022 to 2030 gives a total of almost 3,000 units, with about 1,200 higher- density units of around 30 units per acre and around 800 of the garden apartment densities. She further noted that this would require quite a bit of an area which, translated into acres, would total approximately 40 acres of 30 units and above, about 35 acres of moderate - income homes, and 111 acres for above - moderate income homes if assumed that some are built at five units per acre, and others at slightly more dense than that. Ms. Stern stated that this overview sets the scene regarding why the City is looking at East Pleasanton to help satisfy its RNHA numbers. She added that another big issue is the need to look at what that balance would be in terms of how much of this should be developed at a higher density, which would require quite a bit of acreage. Ms. Stern then displayed a revised map of what was originally prepared during the Housing Element update showing the distribution of and the sites rezoned for higher density development around the City. She pointed out the different locations of high- density units, defined in the General Plan as eight or more units per acre, including small zero -lot -line homes, two mobile home parks, major apartment locations that are the higher- density units, and the senior apartment complexes at Ridge View Commons and Stanley Boulevard. Mr. Rasmussen stated that the Alternatives planning process started with the assistance of David Gates, urban designer, in terms of the structural elements. He explained that these elements are the varied, most basic components of the site that guide how it would ultimately be developed in the future, such as the major constraints, the opportunities, and what the General Plan says ought to be there. He indicated that these consist primarily of the open space, which is primarily undevelopable and owned by Zone 7; the extension of El Charro Road down through the middle of the site and connecting to Stanley Boulevard to the south, as shown in the General Plan; and the PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, May 22, 2013 Page 7 of 41
