Housing Commission <br />November 17, 2022 <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />• The agreement will be recorded with the land and remain affordable in perpetuity. This City IZO <br />requirement is longer than SDBL, and hence the stricter rule applies. <br /> <br />• Requires the development to accept Section 8 housing vouchers from eligible qualified <br />applicants. <br /> <br />Commissioners were advised that Mr. Davis, representative for the Stoneridge Mall Residential project, <br />was available to answer any questions they may have. <br /> <br />Commissioner Chillinsky had questions pertaining to the density bonus requirement and the 15-month <br />rent adjustment time frame. Mr. Hernandez advised that rents would be recalculated, and the 15-month <br />time frame was an estimation being used by the city based on information that has been provided by <br />HUD. <br /> <br />Commissioner Chillinsky questioned if the commission was being asked to approve the overall concept <br />for this project, and Ms. Clark advised that the commission was being asked to look at and consider the <br />Affordable Housing Agreement. She noted that this will be a 5-story, 360-unit building with a structured <br />parking area. <br /> <br />Mr. Hernandez provided Chairperson Galvin and Commissioner Renton details about the number of <br />studio units planned for this project noting larger bedroom units are preferred due to family growth <br />limitations with studio units and 1-bedroom units being preferred by people with disabilities. <br />Commissioner Renton commented on wording in the agreement, and Ms. Clark indicated staff would <br />review and make suitable changes. <br /> <br />Commissioner Kripalani discussed with Mr. Hernandez changes that may be required if the income of a <br />household increases. Mr. Hernandez advised that tenants would be allowed to remain in their units <br />unless the household income goes above 140% of the unit designation, at that time options would be <br />discussed but tenants would not be evicted because of a higher income. <br /> <br />Mr. Hernandez informed Chairperson Galvin that there would be some fluidity available as long as 58 <br />eligible units were maintained. <br /> <br />Commissioner Renton was advised that details about recertification were outlined on page 2, Section C <br />of the Affordable Housing Agreement. Ms. Seto noted that the City of Pleasanton had copied language <br />provided by the State of California and advised Chairperson Galvin that the city tries to follow State <br />Law. The Land Use Attorney, Cecily Barclay, commented on wording in the agreement that is verbatim <br />from State Law which can sometimes be difficult to understand. <br /> <br />Commissioner Chillinsky noted Section B on page 2 of the Agreement still refers to studio units, and <br />Ms. Seto advised that staff would make a correction to this. <br /> <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Kripalani, seconded by Commissioner Chillinsky, recommending <br />City Council approve an Affordable Housing Agreement with Stoneridge Associates, LLC for the <br />Stoneridge Mall Residential project (PUD-136) with corrections made by the Housing Commission. <br /> <br />ROLL CALL VOTE: <br />AYES: Commissioners Chillinsky, Kripalani, Renton, and Chairperson Galvin. <br />NOES: None <br />ABSENT: Commissioners Fischer and Schemp. <br />ABSTAIN: None <br /> <br />Commissioners asked about the timeline for this project and were advised by staff that it now needs to <br />be presented to the Planning Commission and City Council.
