• Streamline ADU Production <br /> Yes. I believe that currently ADUs are the only potentially affordable units <br /> being built in Pleasanton. Any ADUs, affordable or not, increase housing <br /> supply. Streamlining the process will make is less expensive and faster. <br /> • Complete Objective Design Standards <br /> Yes. Make them achievable but not too expensive. We want to create <br /> housing, not scare it away. Has Pleasanton ever had a development working <br /> group of non-profit and for-profit developers look at design guidelines to <br /> assess feasibility and suggest less expensive modifications? I recommend it. <br /> • Small Units, Multifamily Guidelines <br /> Yes. Another tool. <br /> • Municipal Code Amendments for Small-scale Infill <br /> Yes, for every type of housing. <br /> Please do not use the phrase "Missing Middle". Pleasanton is missing almost <br /> every housing type, except Above Moderate Income. It is jargon that may <br /> work in cities with only low income and high-income units. <br /> According to our brochure "Below Market Rate Apartments in Pleasanton' <br /> we have: <br /> 660 senior apartments <br /> 444 low-income apartments <br /> 4879 market rate apartments <br /> 5983 total <br /> or <br /> 11% senior apartments <br /> 7.4% non-senior apartments <br /> Assuming for the moment that seniors are not working, only 7.4% of <br /> apartments are available to Pleasanton's lower income workforce. <br /> Figure 1 on page 8 of the staff report shows that at least 55%, or 33,073 jobs, <br /> and likely many more, earn less than 100% AMI. Our 444 non-senior <br /> affordable units of the 5983 apartments (and 29,000 housing units) in the <br /> city, barely make a dent in the need. <br /> NOTE: I could not find any statistics for deed-restricted, for-sale, affordable <br /> units. How many are there in Pleasanton and at what income levels? How <br /> are they tracked? Please ask staff for this information. <br /> 2 <br />
