Commissioner Olson agreed. Commissioner Pearce stated that she did some math on the 35 percent because she was thinking about how it helps considerably in terms of the number of multi - family units. She noted that for Alternative 1, that would be 350 units; Alternative 2 would be 499 units; Alternative 3 would be 599 units; and Alternative 4 would be 449 units. She pointed out that it seems like that is still within the realm of the policy direction that the Commission had recommended but gets more units.

He noted that those sites were not picked because the East Pleasanton Specific Plan had not yet been done. He added that it was unclear whether those locations made any sense, and there were some good reasons not to include them. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. Ganping Ju stated that he was a member of the Ironwood community and wanted to point out that this community has been supporting some of the City's projects such as those for senior citizens as well as the active Downtown community.
