City of Pleasanton 2023-2031 (6th Cycle) Housing Element Update <br />Executive Summary Draft Program EIR <br />ES-2 FirstCarbon Solutions <br />https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480022/EIR/3 - Draft/21480022 Sec00-03 Executive Summary.docx <br />Project Description <br />State law dictates that each city and county in California evaluate local housing needs and, as part of <br />the Housing Element, prepare a realistic set of policies and programs to fulfill those needs in <br />conjunction with the local government’s long range General Plan. Each city and county must <br />maintain a General Plan as a guide for the physical development of the community. This required <br />evaluation of housing needs and resulting program and policies is included as the “Housing Element” <br />of a local government’s General Plan. Additionally, each Bay Area city’s share of the regional housing <br />need is based on a plan, prepared by the Association of Bay Area Governments and the Metropolitan <br />Transportation Commission (ABAG/MTC), entitled the Final RHNA Plan: San Francisco Bay Area, <br />2023-2031, (RHNA Plan). In addition to accommodating the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation <br />(RHNA), this Housing Element Update includes several programs intended to improve the quality of <br />the housing inventory, conserve existing neighborhoods, increase housing affordability, and remove <br />potential governmental and non-governmental constraints to housing for households of all income <br />levels and needs. <br />In accordance with State law, the City proposes to adopt a General Plan Amendment to update the <br />General Plan’s existing Housing Element, including designating sites and identifying updated goals, <br />policies, and actions, along with revisions to the General Plan Land Use Element to ensure <br />consistency between it and the Housing Element, i.e., updating the General Plan land use plan to <br />expand the inventory of land available for the development of new housing within the city and <br />making text amendments to ensure density ranges for designated projects are consistent with those <br />described in the Land Use Element. <br />The City would also amend the General Plan land use designation of the sites identified in Table 2-1, <br />as shown in Table 2-9 in Chapter 2, Project Description, sufficient to meet the remaining unmet <br />housing need. The City would rezone the sites identified in Table 2-1, as shown in Table 2-9 in <br />Chapter 2, Project Description, for consistency with the General Plan Amendments. Compliance with <br />Assembly Bill (AB) 2923 to allow for a minimum density of 75 du/acre and increased height for the <br />Dublin-Pleasanton Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station property could require an amendment to <br />the General Plan. <br />Amendments to the Hacienda Planned Unit Development (PUD) Development Plan and the Vineyard <br />Avenue Corridor Specific Plan may be necessary and are addressed programmatically in this Draft <br />Program EIR. <br />To present a conservative analysis of potential environemntal impacts, this Draft Program EIR <br />assumes a maximum of 7,787 net new dwelling units. Refer to Chapter 2, Project Description, for a <br />complete description of the Housing Element Update. <br />Project Objectives <br />CEQA Guidelines, Section15124(b), require that the project description in a Draft Program EIR <br />include “a statement of the objectives sought by the proposed project,” which should include “the <br />underlying purpose of the project.” The underlying purpose of the Housing Element Update is to <br />accommodate the RHNA and increase the inventory of land available for the development of
