20-29 du/ac as moderate -income), it is not required to do so, and could assume that higher density projects will yield moderate or above -moderate units as well. Table 2 summarizes the above density and affordability assumptions, for reference. Table 2: Affordability and Default Densities Density Category Density Range Low Density 2-7 du/ac Low/Medium Density 8-14 du/ac Medium Density 15-25 du/ac High Density 30 du/ac + Income Level Potentially Accommodated in Inventory Above- Mod, LowMod. Based on the described default densities, staff and the Planning Commission recommended taking a relatively conservative approach in the estimation of zoning capacity for the sites, using an "average" density, for the low and medium density sites rather than the maximum or top of a density range and a minimum density for the high- density sites (30 or 45 du/ac, depending on the site). Densitv Ranges and Housina Tvpes: As recommended by the Planning Commission, and also supported by the Housing Commission, the sites inventory will reflect a range of densities for different sites. The following four density ranges have been identified for each of the prospective sites in the inventory: Low Density: Between 2 and 7 du/ac Low/Medium Density: Between 8 and 14 du/ac Medium Density: Between 15 and 25 du/ac High Density: 30du/ac and greater 0 30-40 du/ac 0 30-60 du/ac o 45-75 du/ac Given the number of units in the City's RHNA, at the initial Planning Commission meeting on November 10, the Commission recommended zoning greater than 30 du/ac on sites in close proximity to BART and the freeway to accommodate more units on fewer sites and to provide an opportunity to blend densities, with mixed density housing types on individual sites. It is acknowledged that Pleasanton has not historically allowed densities in excess of 40 du/ac, and these density ranges would be considerably higher than any project that has been built in the past. However, the Planning Commission and Housing Page 5 of 18
