Exclusion of the alternative removed sites would reduce overall capacity by 1,528 units, leaving <br />a remaining total capacity of 5,101 units among the other sites — this would bring the total <br />capacity of new sites needed slightly over the recommended 50 percent buffer (386 units over <br />the buffer). <br />NEXT STEPS <br />Following this meeting, staff will provide the Planning Commission's recommendation to the City <br />Council for its consideration, anticipated to occur at a meeting in January 2022. Once the initial <br />sites list has been identified, staff and the consultant team will work on preparing a Notice of <br />Preparation (NOP) for the Housing Element update Environmental Impact Report (EIR) in <br />accordance with CEQA Guidelines followed up by an initial scoping meeting in February/March <br />2022. <br />PUBLIC NOTICE <br />Notice of this item was published in The Valley Times and courtesy notices were mailed to all <br />property owners of sites under consideration. This item was also identified in the Pleasanton <br />Weekly's "Agenda Highlights" for upcoming public meetings, and an email notification was sent <br />to all interested parties who have signed up on the Housing Element website: <br />oleasantonhousinoelement.com. Staff has received 16 emails related to the Housing Element <br />since the last Planning Commission hearing on November 10, 2021, the majority in opposition to <br />including of Valley Plaza and Mission Plaza in the sites inventory. All public comments have <br />been included in Exhibit F for reference. <br />CONCLUSION <br />Staff is recommending that the Commission review and provide a recommendation on a list of <br />potential sites under consideration for future rezoning and inclusion in the environmental <br />analysis as part of the Sites Inventory for the 2023-2031 (6th Cycle) Housing Element Update as <br />presented in Exhibit E. <br />Primary Author: Jennifer Hagen, Associate Planner, 925-931-5607, jhagen@cityofpleasantonca.gov <br />Reviewed/Approved By: <br />Shweta Bonn, Senior Planner <br />Ellen Clark, Director of Community Development <br />Housing Element Update Planning Commission <br />14 of 14 <br />
