THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. <br />Mary Heidenberger stated that now that she has heard all the issues involved, it seems <br />more complex to her. She indicated that the thing she wanted to mention and bring out <br />is the impact it will have on schools and roads, this quantity of people that have not <br />been planned for. She noted that the schools will be impacted hugely and added that <br />she has lived in places before where the developer actually helped with the schools, <br />and it would be great if they could help with that here. She stated that she anticipates <br />that if she were one of the developers, she would be reluctant to approach this project ii <br />she did not see any benefit because of the housing that is required. She reiterated that <br />it is going to be too impactful on the people who live in Pleasanton and that it should be <br />approached in a slow manner so that everyone can adjust to what is going to happen tc <br />them. <br />Chair O'Connor asked staff how many homes have to be built per year during this <br />eight -year cycle. <br />Mr. Dolan said 235 homes per year. He noted that all of the units that were approved <br />as a part of the rezonings after the lawsuit got a pass and already have their own <br />Growth Management approval; and anything that is proposed from now on is going to <br />be subject to Growth Management. <br />Chair O'Connor inquired what the total number of already rezoned and approved units <br />is. <br />Mr. Wallis said 1,900 units. <br />Commissioner Allen inquired if those units that have already been approved would be <br />counted against the City's RHNA allocation and the City's Growth Management as they <br />get built; for example, if they would take up next year's capacity if they were built next <br />year. <br />Mr. Dolan said no. He explained that all the projects that were rezoned and approved <br />after the lawsuit to come into compliance with State law on the City's Housing Element <br />had a pass. He indicated that they have Development Agreements that basically <br />memorialize that pass where generally the term is ten years. He added that the Growth <br />Management allocation is just starting during this planning period. <br />Chair O'Connor stated that they could build as fast as they wanted because the City <br />was considered to be behind as far as the lawsuit is concerned <br />Mr. Dolan said that is correct. He explained that they are making up for all the years the <br />City did not do any of it. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, June 25, 2014 Page 17 of 29 <br />
