the proposed sites list. In addition, staff held a Community Workshop on December 1, 2021, to solicit community feedback on the sites. Staff is now requesting the Planning Commission receive summaries of the Housing Commission and Community Workshop meetings and provide a recommendation to the City Council regarding which sites from the initial list of sites should be carried forward into the required California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) analysis for the Housing Element. The final list of sites will be further refined through forthcoming steps of review, analysis and public input, in conjunction with adoption of the Housing Element in early 2023. As such, sites identified at this time to be carried forward for environmental analysis are not guaranteed to be included in the final inventory, nor are any development rights or entitlements provided until the Housing Element is adopted and rezonings are completed. BACKGROUND — MEETING SUMMARIES November 10, 2021, Plannina Commission Meetina On November 10, 2021, the Planning Commission reviewed a list of potential sites under consideration for rezoning to allow future residential development. After receiving public comment and holding an initial discussion of the initial draft sites, the Planning Commission provided the following input to be taken into consideration prior to returning with a final recommendation of sites: • Utilize a 50 percent buffer in determining the initial inventory (for analysis in the CEQA document), as recommended by staff. • The density ranges proposed by staff appear appropriate, and a blend of densities should be considered within the overall inventory, although the greatest focus should be on higher density and affordable housing. • Consider densities greater than 30 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) and up to 60 du/ac on the high-density sites as suggested and consider increasing densities on some selected sites up to 75 du/ac, with a 45 du/ac minimum density on others. Also consider a minimum density of at least 40 du/ac on sites that currently have density designation of 30 du/ac in order to encourage podium parking and other site amenities. Consider increasing the maximum zoning on existing (5'h Cycle) Housing Element sites. Keep Site #28: SteelWave and #20: Boulder Court among the initial recommended sites for consideration. • Remove Site #17: Mission Plaza from the recommended sites for consideration. B Move Site #18: Valley Plaza to the bottom of the priority list of sites under consideration. November 17. 2021. Housing Commission Meetina The Housing Commission also reviewed the list of prospective sites at its November 18 meeting. Comments from the Commission included: • Support for including sites within East Pleasanton in the list going forward (Site #28: SteelWave and #21: Kiewit).
