The next two columns get to the direction that staff received from the Planning Commission that, based on a 75- percent single - family and 25- percent multi - family, Alternative 1 with 1,000 units would result in a split of 750/250; the breakdown for the other Alternatives are shown when applied to 1,426 units for Alternative 2: 1.710 units for Alternative 3: 1.283 units for Alternative 4. The last two columns show that if the range of numbers of units are somewhere in the vicinity of 1,000 units up to 1,700 units — and the Task Force, at its last meeting, actually added a couple of alternatives that creep up a little bit above those numbers but not too much — then the City is only going to accommodate somewhere in the range of 12 percent to 21 percent of the multi - family requirements over the next two RHNA periods in the East Pleasanton Specific Plan area, thus leaving a demand of anywhere between approximately 1,600 units to almost 1,800 units for which other sites would have to be designated elsewhere in the City. Mr. Dolan recalled for those among the Commissioners who went through the last Housing Element process that this was not an easy task. He noted that there were a few sites that scored really well in the ratings process that did not get selected, with two of the best ones actually being in the East side. He indicated that there was a lot of discussion about the Kiewit property and the Legacy property at that time, but these did not make the list and were going to be saved for the next time around. He added that there was also the Irby property, which scored really well but did not make the final cut. Mr. Dolan continued that after these sites, the City will be looking at new sites that have not really been talked about before. He indicated that this can be done but noted that staff did not really take the next step and explore the implications of the Planning Commission's direction, and would like to circle back to the Commission, before it checks -in with the City Council next week, and see if the Commission had any additional comments based on this information. Commissioner O'Connor asked Mr. Dolan how many acres were rezoned last time to meet the RHNA numbers. Mr. Dolan replied that there were 70 acres. Commissioner O'Connor commented that with these numbers, the City would be looking at about 60 acres, in the 1,800 -unit range at 30 units to the acre, which is pretty close to the same amount as last time. Mr. Dolan noted that was correct. Commissioner O'Connor stated that what he finds interesting about this calculation is that even with the highest development, Alternative 3, which got most of the criticism at the last meeting, it would be off only by about less than 200 units, which is really not a PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, June 12, 2013 Page 8 of 25
