Director of Community Development Beaudin noted two bills associated with districts noting SB 540 and AB 73 both create districts and the State is trying to tie additional incentives to them. He added the State is tying the City's housing compliance to roads' dollars and traffic improvements. Mayor Thorne reported he along with the Mayors of Livermore and Dublin are considering inviting the authors of some of the bills out and show them what impact the bills could have on the community. Councilmember Narum referenced SB 166 and asked about the possibilty of doing an evaluation. City Attorney Daniel Sodergren reported as part of the Palmer fix, if a city would increase rental inclusionary over 15% and met specific criteria, HCD can request an economic feasibility study. The economic feasibility study would apply only to inclusionary rental housing. Director of Community Development Beaudin reported as a policy, the State has not been in favor of inclusionary. In further response to Councilmember Narum's question as to whether the City could remove the residential overlays if HCD decides Pleasanton cannot use the five existing sites, Director of Community Development Beaudin responded affirmitavely, noting it would be a public process and would require the landowners' approval. City Manager Fialho reported staff will share the information with the school district at the next liaison meeting. It will also be presented at the joint City Council/School Board meeting. In response Councilmember Narum's question, Director of Community Development Beaudin reported this will not impact the City's Growth Management Ordinance. Staff will reset the growth management number based on the new RHNA number.
