RHNA allocation, accommodated by the East Pleasanton Specific Plan. He indicated that the reason he was asking is if it is 35 percent in the East Pleasanton Specific Plan, and then the rest was distributed across the City, and then, the City's allocation of multi - family to single - family is 28 percent, then the mix should be 28 percent/72 percent. Chair Blank noted that it would certainly be the number staff should run before it goes up to the City Council. Commissioner Posson noted that it would then be an equitable distribution across the community. Chair Blank and Commissioner Olson agreed. Commissioner O'Connor stated that he might be fine with that, depending on what those numbers looked like, and he might even be fine with going up. He added that if they were close, he would not have a problem with the East side having one or two extra percentage points because that it is a new area, so people moving into that area are going to know what that has been zoned. He continued that on the other hand, going back and rezoning older, developed part of the City and adding lots of apartment buildings next to existing residential communities that have been there for 20 or 30 years, would impact the people in these neighborhoods who do not have much choice as they are already there. He then asked if the School Board has ever looked at this 30 -to- the -acre type of development and figured out how many students are expected to come out of that. He noted that there are not that many three - bedroom homes so not a lot of families will be moving in, maybe single parents with one child or two children. Mr. Dolan replied that the School District has a number that it has been using which is created by its consulting demographer. He noted that because the City does not have any of these new apartments built at this density that the School District could sample, the District is using data from existing apartments and comparing them to what the yield is in Dublin and places close by. He stated that there is no perfect match and noted that the yield is not high but there is a fair amount of units. He added that the District did its study a few years ago, right before the City knew for sure that it was going to be losing the housing cap. Commissioner O'Connor recalled that the District came up with a number that was somewhat less than one child per unit, on average, like a .8 or .7. Mr. Dolan replied that he does not remember what the number is but it was pretty small, definitely less than one child per unit. Commissioner O'Connor noted that if there were 300 units total in one area, at .7 or .8 child per unit, that would be 250 children or so. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, June 12, 2013 Page 15 of 25
