Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing City of Pleasanton | F-5 <br />served as a Naval Personnel Distribution Center for the duration of the war and grew to include <br />more than 4,000 employees. This influx of war personnel to the region created a severe housing <br />shortage in the area and the Federal Housing Authority (FHA) recommended affordable working <br />and middle-class housing. This led to the first modern speculative subdivision in Pleasanton (the <br />Harris Acres tract) which comprised of 50 small single-family homes which met the FHA standards <br />for affordable, comfortable homes, meeting “maximum accommodation within a minimum of <br />means”. The Harris Acres tract included some housing examples with secondary entrances which <br />allowed owners to rent bedrooms to boarders. <br /> <br />The Navy eventually constructed a series of housing areas for wartime personnel, including off <br />Kottinger Avenue in Pleasanton (called Kottinger Village). Small developments of multifamily <br />dwellings also began appearing downtown generally in the form of small, single-story connected <br />units. While there are a variety of housing types intermingled throughout the downtown, the blocks <br />west of Main Street, which lie closer to the railroad corridor tend to represent a higher concentration <br />of smaller, more modestly-built single family homes and multi-family apartments. By 1950, <br />Pleasanton’s population nearly doubled to just over 2,200 people. After World War II, commercial <br />and residential development in Pleasanton continued on the outskirts of the downtown area but <br />grew dramatically outside the downtown in former agricultural districts. <br /> <br />Development of the California Research and Development Company/University of California, <br />Berkeley nuclear lab (now Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) and other businesses <br />attracted thousands of new residents to the Tri-Valley in the 1950s and 1960s. The National <br />Highway Act passed in 1956, which brought Interstates 580 and 680 to the region, and resulted in <br />another wave of new economic activity. During this time, increased automobile ownership allowed <br />for easier travel for commuters into the Hayward and Oakland areas. Corporate and research <br />interests seeking land for large-scale research, office, and industrial campuses and high taxes on <br />agricultural land resulted in widespread sale of agricultural property in Pleasanton in the 1960s. <br />While Interstates 580 and 680, and later the extension of BART to Pleasanton allowed for easy <br />access to major job centers for new residents, these new transportation links also facilitated <br />Pleasanton’s growth as a jobs center in its own right, with establishment of Hacienda and other <br />office centers, and a major regional shopping center, Stoneridge Mall, in the mid-1980’s. <br /> <br />The period between 1950 and 1970 also saw the establishment of many of the single-family <br />neighborhoods that make up much of Pleasanton’s residential areas today. During this time, <br />Pleasanton’s population rose sharply, from approximately 2,200 to over 18,000. Strong residential <br />growth continued in Pleasanton through the 1970’s and into the 1980’s, when concerns over <br />development and water supply and quality began to generate more community resistance to <br />growth. Beginning in 1976, the Regional Water Quality Board mandated growth restrictions to no <br />more than two percent per year, to remedy deficient sewage treatment facilities. Citizen concerns <br />about growth, air quality, water supply and a host of related issues led the City, in 1978, to adopt <br />its first growth management program, also known as the Residential Allocation Program (RAP)
