Public Comments <br /> P20-0412 Amenclntcnts to Pleasanton Municipal Code for uccessori £10 citing units <br /> From:Tony Bridenbaugh <br /> Sent: Friday,January 22,2021 3:08 PM <br /> To:Mayor and City Council <br /> Subject:Second Story ADUs <br /> City Council, <br /> I watched a recording of the 1/19 city council meeting last night and was shocked to witness the voting <br /> for a ban on second story ADUs. I'm not sure that this decision meets the spirit and intent of the recent <br /> laws California passed to promote the development of ADUs to combat our severe housing crisis. <br /> ADUs could allow our elders to age gracefully surrounded by family members or our children to save <br /> money on college housing. There must be some middle ground that doesn't result in an outright ban of <br /> traditional ADUs. Perhaps being able to apply for a special waiver to the height restriction will allow the <br /> city to maintain control over designs. <br /> I am a proud Pleasanton homeowner who was excited about the new laws and have unfortunately <br /> already spent thousands on professional designs. I'd be happy to offer up my project as an example of <br /> how to do a proper 2nd story ADU in Pleasanton. <br /> Thanks so much for all you do, <br /> Anthony Bridenbaugh <br /> 4 <br />
