Housing Element Amendments Planning Commission 3 of 5 submitted those to HCD on March 30, 20231. Subsequently, on April 10, 2023, the City formally received a comment letter from HCD. The comment letter is attached for reference, Exhibit A. Staff recommends revisions to satisfy HCD’s comments as follows: • Minor adjustments to the sites inventory to no longer assume redevelopment of an existing zoned site (AT&T facility at 120 Ray Street), and to modestly increase the assumed production/capacity of some of the high-density housing sites, based on active property owner interest in developing at the higher end of assigned density ranges (please note, there is no change in minimum or maximum allowed density, rather, only the assumed production/capacity within the approved range).* Reflected throughout including in main document, Appendix B, and Appendix F. • Additional data points to support the non-vacant sites analysis, including incorporation of City Council findings for feasibility of sites into the body of the Housing Element and project details for past development of non-vacant sites in Pleasanton and nearby Tri-Valley cities.* Reflected in Appendix B. • Expand Program 4.7 (to analyze existing zoning controls in the R-M zones and adjust if determined to conflict with allowable density) to include the C-C and MU- T zones as part of the future analysis and/or adjustments.* Reflected in main document page 52 and Appendix C. • Additional data points to support findings that local fees and procedures are not a constraint to housing production.* Reflected in Appendix C. • Minor changes to some program implementation timelines to sh ow accelerated timing.* Reflected throughout main document. • Adjustments to Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) programs to add numeric objectives and geographic targeting where appropriate and feasible.* Reflected throughout main document. • Add statements of affirmative owner interest for Area 7 (Hacienda Terrace) and Area 8 (Muslim Community Center) to demonstrate potential for re-development with residential uses. Reflected in Appendix B. • Additional information and details about the projected timing for disposition and development of the PUSD sites (Areas 27 and 28) and BART site. Reflected in Appendix B. • Add description of environmental constraints (e.g., contamination) relative to housing sites. Reflected in Appendix B and Appendix C. • Expand infrastructure discussion in Appendix C related to water supply as a potential development constraint including discussion of the City’s Water Supply Assessment and its findings as well as elaboration of well use due to PFAS, and refinement of Programs 4.4 (Infrastructure Deficiencies) and 4.5 (Water Supply) 1 An asterisk (*) represents a redline that was presented to HCD in March
