Growth Management goal is to establish the number of units the City wants to build each year. She added that there are allowances to roll over units that are not used or to borrow from other years. Mr. Dolan added that this is a completely local ordinance and that the State has nothing to do with it. Commissioner Balch commented that this is how the City manages its growth. Ms. Wallis said yes, that it is the Growth Management Program adopted by the City. Commissioner Balch noted that one of the speakers did comment about the number of units currently entitled and asked staff to indicate what those count towards in the total numbers. Ms. Wallis displayed a slide showing the total sites in the City's RHNA numbers, broken down by permitted and approved sites. She indicated that the City currently has a total of 1,980 units that are permitted and approved and 1,379 units that are vacant or under - utilized, for a total capacity of 3,359 units. She stated that on pages 72 and 73 of the Housing Element document is an actual physical map of where these units are located within the City. She noted that both the permitted and approved projects and the vacant and under - utilized projects are dispersed pretty equally throughout the entire City. Chair O'Connor inquired if the vacant and under - utilized numbers include anything from the East Pleasanton side. Ms. Wallis said no and added that the City just has a Goal and Policy to continue to explore a variety of housing types within the East Pleasanton Specific Plan area. Mr. Dolan addressed Commissioner Balch saying that he can name the projects if that is what he is looking for. Commissioner Balch said no. He stated that coming in a little bit new, he is trying to understand where the count gets started. He noted that time does not stop, and projects are moving through the pipe, so it appears these have been accounted for in here. He added that it was mentioned at the East Pleasanton Task Force meeting that the City has met its RHNA numbers or looks like it will, and this is where it shows that it has or would. He indicated, however, that he is also hearing that this is just policy and not shovel -ready projects and not being built yet. Ms. Wallis stated that only the St. Anton project has building permits and is under construction at this time, and the BRE project is in the plan -check stage. She added that some of the projects have Development Agreements that extend their entitlement out to ten years from now. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, June 25, 2014 Page 10 of 29
