<br />Sites Recommended for Removal
<br />Staff recommends Areas 11 (Old Santa Rita), 12 (Pimlico North), 20 (Boulder Court), 4
<br />(Owens), and 15 (Rheem Drive Southwest), Area 24 (Sonoma Drive), and Area 26 (St.
<br />Augustine) be excluded from the potential sites for rezoning. While all of these sites are
<br />potentially viable/acceptable sites and could be included in the Housing Element, staff
<br />suggests there are sites which better merit inclusion.
<br />
<br />Staff recommends excluding the above-listed sites for several reasons:
<br />• Several are non-vacant sites about which HCD had questions (Areas 11, 12, 4,
<br />24 and 15);
<br />• Some impact already impacted schools (Areas 11, 12, and 4);
<br />• Some have relatively high VMT impacts (Areas 12, 20, 26 and 24) or LOS
<br />impacts (Areas 11 and 20);
<br />• Some of the sites (Area 11, 12, 15 and 24) contain service commercial which
<br />have limited opportunities to relocate throughout town; and
<br />• Finally, owner interest has not been explicitly expressed for any of these sites
<br />except Area 26.
<br />
<br />While most of these sites fall towards the bottom of the list for the various reasons noted
<br />above, Area 24 (Sonoma Drive) and Area 26 (St. Augustine) fall toward the middle tier
<br />of sites. However, they are not necessary to meet RHNA, nor do they have other
<br />compelling reasons to include them. As such, staff recommends they be omitted from
<br />the Housing Element.
<br />
<br />Sites Recommended for Inclusion
<br />Staff recommends including Areas 29 (Oracle), 16 (Tri-Valley Inn), 19 (Black Avenue), 7
<br />(Hacienda Terrace), 2 (Stoneridge Shopping Center), 14 (St. Elizabeth Seton), 6
<br />(Signature Center), 5 (Laborer Council), 8 (Muslim Community Center), and 9 (Metro
<br />580). Staff also recommends including Area 25 (PUSD District), Area 18 (Valley Plaza),
<br />Area 27 (PUSD Vineyard), Area 21 (Kiewit), Area 23 (Sunol), Area 22 (Merritt), and
<br />Area 1 (Lester), and additional site-specific discussion is provided below for these sites.
<br />
<br />Staff recommends including these sites for several reasons. Most of these sites have
<br />relatively good VMTs (Area 29, 16, 7, 2, 14, 6, 5, 8, 9, 25, and 18) and scored well with
<br />the initial scoring criteria. Areas 29, 16, 19, 7, 14, 6, 8, 9, 25, 18, and 23 scored within
