Postcard notifications and letters <br />have been sent to property owners of undeveloped sites that the 2012 Housing DG apply. Staff <br />has contacted representatives from Hacienda and Simon Properties informing them of this <br />effort, inviting review and feedback. At the time this report was prepared, staff has not <br />received specific comments regarding this effort, although representatives from Hacienda and <br />Simon Properties acknowledged and appreciated the communication. <br />CONCLUSION <br />The proposed changes to the 2012 Housing DG seek to modify existing subjective standards <br />and guidelines into objective standards, as is required by state law. The changes to the 2012 <br />Housing DG are intended to apply to the sites identified in the document, although a future <br />draft could include additional sites, as deemed appropriate by the current (6th Cycle) Housing <br />Element update process. <br />Primary Author: Shweta Bonn, Senior Planner, 925-931-5611 or sbonn@cityofpleasantonca.gov <br />Reviewed/Approved By: <br />Ellen Clark, Director of Community Development <br />P20-0989, Objective Design Standards Planning Commission <br />14 of 14
