Kaiser has never <br /> developed housing on its land in the Bay Area.Two RHNA cycles should be <br /> sufficient proof that they do not intend to do so in Pleasanton. <br /> Site Inventory <br /> • The sites inventory analysis states:"[I]astly,the City is unaware of any leases that would <br /> perpetuate existing uses or prevent the development of housing on nonvacant sites during <br /> the planning period."B-17 <br /> a What investigation has the City done with respect to leases for nonvacant sites? <br />
