Planning Commission Minutes Page 6 of 7 February 9, 2022 the percentage of affordable units required between multifamily and single-family to 20% and to clearly identify affordability levels. She stated she agreed with the first two recommendations on LIHF but would like to substantially raise the fees for non-residential very close to the maximum, because Pleasanton was an attractive place for businesses and the fees would not be a deterrent and the rate should provide the necessary units for the employees. She stated she would like to increase residential fees based on square footage or number of bedrooms and that tier pricing was critical. She suggested reconsidering the basis for the low-income housing study, especially for residential. She requested more data on the expenditure of funding and what percentage was directed at adding more housing versus the other programs, because HCD was looking at the number of built units. She stated it was worth exploring a housing overlay zone but the ordinance should align with State law for short term.

Ms. Clark explained the basis for the inclusionary zoning requirement, and the amount of the low-income housing fee were different and therefore, there was a disjuncture between the two fees (i.e. the in-lieu fee does not cover 100 % of the cost of constructing an affordable unit).
