2023-2031 Housing Element City of Pleasanton | 14  The Donlon School Field (Area 3) should be removed from the sites inventory.  Concern related to water to accommodate the amount of housing required by the City’s RHNA.  Concern about modifying the zoning for sites that currently allow light industrial/commercial uses, such as automotive uses (e.g., Area 11, Old Santa Rita), as those uses will have limited opportunity to relocate in Pleasanton. Integration of Comments into the Housing Element The comments provided have been incorporated and addressed in the updated Housing Element, specifically through the Housing Needs Assessment (Appendix A), the Sites Inventory and Methodology (Appendix B), Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (Appendix F), and through programs. Additionally, the City expanded outreach efforts to directly target underrepresented populations and populations disproportionately impacted by fair housing issues. Various programs that address comments include the following:  Rezone land to allow more opportunity for residential development in additional areas of the city (Program 1.1).  Adopt Objective Design Standards to streamline housing development review and approval process (Program 6.1).  Provide flexible parking standards and other incentives to facilitate affordable housing development and conversion or adaptive reuse of nonvacant sites (Program 1.6).  Engage with Pleasanton Unified School District in rezoning efforts to facilitate housing development (Program 1.5).  Acquire land and/or assist in the development of housing affordable to lower-income households (Program 1.5).  Support access to rental housing for lower-income households, and protect tenants from displacement by working with the Alameda County Housing Authority to maintain funding for housing vouchers, enhance outreach, apply provisions of the Condominium Ordinance, and develop an enhanced local rental assistance program (Program 2.8)  Continue to offer reasonable accommodations and fee reductions for applications to modify existing homes to accommodate needs of persons with disabilities (Programs 5.3 and 5.7).  Facilitate affordable housing such as Single Room Occupancy units for lower-income individuals, seniors, and persons with disabilities (Program 5.6).  Encourage ADU production through standardized building plans and informational material in multiple languages, and consider additional measures if ADU production is not meeting targets (Programs 1.8 and 1.9).
