<br />C-24 | City of Pleasanton Housing Constraints <br />development to meet its inclusionary requirement. At the discretion of the City, alternatives <br />include: <br />• Construction of units off-site at a location within the city other than the project site <br />• Land dedication <br />• Credit transfers if a project exceeds the total number of inclusionary units required <br />• Alternate methods of compliance as approved by the City Council <br />• Payment of a lower income housing fee <br />The use of any of these alternative methods of compliance is subject to City review and approval <br />memorialized in an Affordable Housing Agreement. The Agreement is negotiated by City staff and <br />the applicant. It is then brought to the Housing Commission for recommendation and ultimately to <br />the City Council for final approval. Agreements include a contribution of lower income housing <br />funds towards the project to help offset the cost of including affordable units. The process is run <br />simultaneously with the development application review and does not extend the development <br />review process. No project has ever been denied due to the failure to negotiate an Affordable <br />Housing Agreement that has been acceptable to both the City and the applicant. <br />Commercial, office, and industrial development are also required either to construct affordable <br />units or pay an in-lieu fee. Residential projects of fewer than 15 units are required to pay an in- <br />lieu affordable housing fee. In 2018, the City prepared nexus studies to help determine <br />appropriate amounts to charge for the lower income housing (in-lieu) fee. The analysis evaluated <br />the maximum fee for residential (for-sale and for-rent development) and non-residential <br />development and assisted the City with the establishment of updated in-lieu fees (see Permit and <br />Development Fees for a discussion of City fees). <br />Pleasanton’s inclusionary requirements help to achieve the City’s affordable housing goals by <br />increasing the production of residential units affordable to households of very low, low, and <br />moderate income either through construction of units or by providing funds for affordable housing. <br />Another purpose of the requirement is to ensure that the remaining developable land in <br />Pleasanton is utilized in a manner consistent with the City’s housing policies and community’s <br />needs. <br />Inclusionary Housing Analysis <br />The City’s IZO has been in effect for over 20 years. During this time, housing costs in Pleasanton <br />have increased, consistent with trends in Alameda County (see Housing Needs Assessment <br />Figures A-40 and A-43). However, the cost of housing is higher in Pleasanton compared to <br />Alameda County overall. The difference in housing cost is affected by many factors including <br />scarcity of developable land, high scoring schools, abundant services and recreational <br />opportunities, high quality infrastructure, easy accessibility to major employment centers, and <br />desirable location and setting, which have likely been primary factors driving housing prices in <br />Pleasanton.
