• 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 />
