Page 2 of 3 WHEREAS, on November 14, 2022, the City received a letter from HCD providing its findings regarding the draft Housing Element; and WHEREAS, on January 4, 2023, the City published a revised draft Housing Element responding to HCD’s findings and requested public comment on the draft; and WHEREAS, on January 11, 2023, the Planning Commission conducted a duly and properly noticed public hearing, reviewed the Housing Element and all pertinent maps, documents and exhibits, including HCD’s findings, the City’s response to HCD’s findings, the staff report and all attachments, and oral and written public comments; and determined the Housing Element to be consistent with State law and the General Plan of the City. NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Pleasanton, based on the entire record of proceedings, including the oral and written staff reports and all public comment and testimony: Section 1: Finds that the foregoing recitals are true and correct and are incorporated by reference into this action. Section 2: Recommends that the City Council finds that the Housing Element substantially complies with Housing Element Law, as provided in Government Code Sections 65580 et seq. and contains all provisions required by State Housing Element Law, as shown in Attachment 1B to this resolution, incorporated herein by this reference. Section 3: Recommends that the City Council find that based on substantial evidence in the record including that non-vacant higher density RHNA sites are primarily underutilized as surface parking and/or surface parking with commercial buildings where the existing uses are of marginal economic viability, the structures are at or near the end of their useful life, and the City has received affirmative interest in developing housing, the existing uses on the non -vacant sites identified in the site inventory to accommodate the RHNA are likely to be discontinued during the planning period and therefore do not constitute an impediment to planned residential development on the sites during the planning period. Section 4: Recommends that the City Council state that the Housing Element incorporates the City’s goals, quantifiable objectives, and policies to affirmatively further fair housing and the maintenance, preservation, improvement and development of housing per Government Code Section 65583(b). Section 5: The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council adopt the Housing Element (Attachment 2) that has been modified in response to the findings of the Department (Attachment 1A) as being in substantial compliance with the requirements of State Housing Element Law (Attachment 1B). Section 6: This resolution shall become effective immediately upon its passage and adoption.
