twenty-year and wondered if that is accurate. Director of Finance Olson responded affirmatively, <br /> adding the twenty-year payoff will not be of the existing liability. Existing liability will stay in the <br /> thirty-year cycle. The twenty-year payoff would be for future liabilities. Gains would also be <br /> amortized at twenty years.

Presentation of new California Housing Legislation <br /> Director of Community Development Gerry Beaudin presented details of the report and displayed <br /> a PowerPoint presentation addressing California's Housing Future in terms of housing production, <br /> inequality and lack of opportunity, affordability, home ownership, homelessness, discrimination <br /> and inadequate accommodations. He reported on the Housing Package including financing <br /> affordable housing, streamlining local review processes, increasing local accountability and <br /> reporting requirements, allowing funding to pay for affordable housing thorugh inclusionary zoning <br /> and preserving affordability of existing subsidized housing. He added while the majority of the <br /> laws will have no impact on the City's processes, three of them may impact the City more directly. <br /> These include SB 35, Streamlined Approval Process, SB 166, Residential Density and <br /> Affordability, aka "No Net Loss", and AB 1397, Inventory of Land for Residential Development. He <br /> provided a summary and elibility criteria for each piece of legislation and addressed HCD <br /> Guidance, noting HCD released a list of cities eligible for the streamlined development process on <br /> February 1, 2018. <br /> Councilmember Narum asked whether the east side would not meet the eligibility criteria and <br /> Director of Community Development Beaudin reported the definition of "development" is very <br /> specific and the east side would not be eligible as it is not surrounded by 75% development and <br /> stated he would also question environmental aspects of the east side. <br /> In response to Mayor Thorne's question, Director of Community Development Beaudin reported <br /> during this RHNA cycle, Pleasanton would need to be 50% affordable. Additionally, the City would <br /> need to pay prevailing wages. <br /> Councilmember Pentin stated the City has established its own 15% and if the City is streamlining <br /> at 50% and inquired whether scaling is allowed. Director of Community Development Beaudin <br /> stated it is 50% based on 80% area median income. If the City were to adjust its requirements <br /> down to 10% it could go down to 10%. He added all of this is at the developer's discretion. In this <br /> RHNA cycle, the City has been classified by HCD into the 50% bracket. The City may have to go <br /> back to the 15% affordability requirement until more units are produced. <br /> Councilmember Olson noted at 50% it is unlikely that any projects will come forward and asked <br /> regarding the State's rationale.
