Housing Element Community Survey Summary <br />18 <br />2.2.7 Appropriate Housing Types <br />Question 11: As the City seeks to meet the State mandate to plan for more than <br />5,900 new housing units, including housing at all levels of affordability, which housing <br />types are most appropriate to plan for within Pleasanton? (Select at least three.) <br />Answered: 622 Skipped: 0 <br />This survey question asked respondents which types of housing are most appropriate to plan for as <br />part of the upcoming Housing Element process. Since the City is required to meet State mandates to <br />plan for housing, respondents were asked to choose at least three housing types in order to provide a <br />full range of housing. Respondents could also indicate an “Other” option and provide an open-ended <br />response. <br />Overall, the survey respondents indicated that condos and townhomes where the type of housing <br />units that are most appropriate to plan for in the future (this unit type was chosen by 55.79% of the <br />respondents). Respondents also indicated that single-family detached homes (49.84%), residential <br />mixed-use projects (48.55%), senior housing (43.09%), and duplex/triplex/fourplex units (42.77%) <br />were all high priority unit types to plan for when choosing housing sites. The lowest score options for <br />new housing types included affordable housing (27.97%), accessory dwelling units (20.90%), <br />assisted living (17.20%), transitional and supportive housing (16.40%), and emergency shelters <br />(11.90%). <br />It is noted that “apartments” or “rental housing” was not listed among the survey options, but in <br />general the number of responses for condos and townhomes as a needed housing type could be <br />interpreted to indicate at least general support for higher-density, attached housing types. <br />67 respondents indicated “Other” as a response and were allowed to write in an open response. This <br />input was aggregated to the degree possible into common themes and ideas. Among the open-ended <br />responses, the largest theme mentioned of respondents was that they were not supportive of any <br />additional housing at all (29 respondents). <br />Some of the other themes that were indicated include the following: <br />Not supportive of any new housing (29 mentions) <br />Apartments (4 mentions) <br />Smaller One-Bedroom Units (3 mentions) <br />Townhome/Condo Developments (3 mentions) <br />Workforce Housing (2 mentions) <br />Duplex Units (2 mentions) <br />Tree Houses (1 mentions) <br />Other Housing Types Mentioned: <br />o Gated Communities <br />Public Participation Summaries City of Pleasanton | E-78
