2.2.7 Appropriate Housing Types Question 1 1: As the City seeks to meet the State mandate to plan for more than 5,900 new housing units, including housing at all levels of affordability, which housing types are most appropriate to plan for within Pleasanton? (Select at least three.) Afiswered:622 Shipped:0 This survey question asked respondents which types of housing are most appropriate to plan for as part of the upcoming Housing Element process. Since the City is required to meet State mandates to plan for housing, respondents were asked to choose at least three housing types in order to provide a full range of housing. Respondents could also indicate an "Other" option and provide an open-ended response. Overall, the survey respondents indicated that condos and townhomes where the type of housing units that are most appropriate to plan for in the future (this unit type was chosen by 55.79% of the respondents). Respondents also indicated that single-family detached homes (49.84%), residential mixed-use projects (48.55%), senior housing (43.09%), and duplex/triplex/fourplex units (42.77%) were all high priority unit types to plan for when choosing housing sites. The lowest score options for new housing types included affordable housing (27.97%), accessory dwelling units (20.90°/x), assisted living (17.20%), transitional and supportive housing (16.40%), and emergency shelters (11.90%). It is noted that "apartments" or "rental housing" was not listed among the survey options, but in general the number of responses for condos and townhomes as a needed housing type could be interpreted to indicate at least general support for higher -density, attached housing types. 67 respondents indicated "Other" as a response and were allowed to write in an open response. This input was aggregated to the degree possible into common themes and ideas. Among the open-ended responses, the largest theme mentioned of respondents was that they were not supportive of any additional housing at all (29 respondents). Some of the other themes that were indicated include the following: • Not supportive of any new housing (29 mentions) • Apartments (4 mentions) • Smaller One -Bedroom Units (3 mentions) • Townhome/Condo Developments (3 mentions) • Workforce Housing (2 mentions) • Duplex Units (2 mentions) • Tree Houses (1 mentions) • Other Housing Types Mentioned: o Gated Communities THE CITY OF PLEASANTON, R
