THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. Chair Blank noted that the Commission is not being asked to take any specific action other than to provide additional feedback and comments, and commented that usually that is "staff speak" for "We are not really sure you guys knew what you were doing the first time around and want to give you a chance to think about it and make sure." Mr. Dolan replied that hearing the Commission reiterated that it would go up to 35 percent is actually something that maybe he did not hear clear enough the last time. He stated that he was just looking at the Minutes and noted that it was said a few times, but it did not seem like the theme. He added that a reassurance that the Commission would go that far is something that is useful to staff. Chair Blank asked staff if they have what they need. Mr. Dolan said yes, unless the Commission would consider going beyond that. Commissioner Posson asked staff, if the City goes with 35 percent of multi - family in the East Pleasanton Specific Plan area and then accommodate the remaining 2030 RHNA needs across the City, where that would bring the mix of single - family and multi - family across the City, if it would be 32 percent or 28 percent or 26 percent. Mr. Dolan replied that staff has not taken the time to run the answer. He noted that it is a simple calculation but that he could not tell what it would be. Commissioner Posson stated that the reason he is asking that question is because the Commission has heard a lot tonight and at the last public hearing about making sure there is an equitable distribution of these requirements across the City. He noted that the Commission came up with 35 percent, which he felt was reasonable because a new area is being planned, and the RHNA numbers are coming. He stated that in his view, the City should have some additional accommodation for additional multi - family housing in this area, and if this is going to be equitable, then it might make sense to at least run that calculation, and if it comes out to be 28 percent or 40 percent — his guess is it is probably somewhere between 25 percent and 35 percent — or what that new number might be, taking into consideration the 2030 RHNA needs, then that should be the allocation for the East Pleasanton Specific Plan area. Chair Blank stated that his understanding was basically, staff stated the last time that the Pleasanton current ratio is 75 percent to 25 percent, and the Commission is willing to go up to 35 percent/65 percent if it made sense. He indicated that he was trying to understand what numbers Commissioner Posson wanted to run and asked if it was with the general mix if the City did 35 percent in the East Pleasanton Specific Plan. Commissioner Posson replied that what he is suggesting is considering the estimated 2030 RHNA numbers and based on the housing across the City, including the East Pleasanton Specific Plan, whatever that percentage is should be the percentage of PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, June 12, 2013 Page 14 of 25
