Along the way, we were introduced to Mike Serpa and we've been talking to him for the last year and one half; almost two years, and he offered to donate the land to us as part of this. We've talked with City staff and have worked with them to see if this was a good fit and have started down that process. So for us, we're very grateful for the ability to build this hopefully within this subdivision, and we know that as other land opportunity comes up, it will resonate with their members just as well and we can fill it easily. I hope that answers your question. Commissioner Nagler: It does, thank you. And you talk about families purchasing homes in the neighborhood to be close to the community center and pool and so forth. Do you have a sense of how many of these 95 homes are going to be taken up by families? Houghton: Well, let's ask our families. Oh, do you mean families or individuals, because probably what the concept would be is that three or four families go in together to buy a home in which their children live. So we have several members' kids here today and they would maybe then all live together, but the families would go in as part of purchasing that. It would not be families living in Sunflower Hill. Most of our kids honestly will never marry, but they are friends and they want to be together, so being in a community that's supportive like senior living is so important because that's their socialization. We all go to the RADD activities that the City of Pleasanton has, so we would want to partner with RADD and other groups to have activities on site. But I think because we will be following fair housing practices, we will have a lottery system basically that we hope to define that helps us, but there is a chance that families would not get in. So that's why this is such a unique vision for us because those families who may not get in could certainly have the ability to purchase a home and still be close to the amenities that we want to have in terms of a campus. Commissioner Nagler: Thank you. And then on the design of the homes themselves to the extent that there would be that, is the height or multi -story element, or the design of the homes amenable enough to be residences for the kids? Houghton: I think every family is different. I'm very happy to see there are two -story homes. I think that would probably resonate more. Most of our kids or members do not have physical disabilities, most of them are development disabilities; but certainly yes, having accessible homes for those who do have physical disabilities is important. Ours are just two- stories because we do want to make sure they are not too tall and they are appropriate and accessible. Chair Ritter: Are there other questions? Commissioner Brown: You mentioned possible day use and I noticed the Sunflower Hill has proposed 20 parking spots and I think there are three or four for staff. Do you anticipate — obviously it's going to depend on how much of a community can walk —but do you anticipate the recreational community being used by people who live outside of walking distance as well? Houghton: We do, but most of our kids do not drive. In fact, I can't think of one that does. So they would not be cars that our members have or residents have. They would be people coming on site, perhaps caregivers, people who are assisting with some of the project management and property management. I know that the on- street parking PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, April 27, 2016 Page 11 of 43
