ATTACHMENT 2, EXHIBIT C Exhibit C Pursuant to Cal. Government Code section 65583.2(8)(1) and (2)1, based on substantial evidence set forth in Section 3. Housing Resources and Appendix B: Sites Inventory and Methodology of the 2023-2031 Housing Element, after examining factors such as density and capacity, near-term development potential based on vacancies and age of existing improvements on nonvacant sites, income levels which can be accommodated based on density, statements of interest from property owners to rezone sites for housing, degree of underutilization for nonvacant sites, consideration of market conditions and recent development trends, location in relation to transit, and environmental and infrastructure constraints and opportunities, the City finds and determines that the existing uses on nonvacant sites identified in the Sites Inventory to accommodate very-low, low, moderate and above-moderate income housing, and particularly to accommodate very-low and low-income housing are likely to be discontinued during the planning period, and therefore do not constitute an impediment to additional residential development during the period covered by the Housing Element. Appendix & Sites Inventory & Methodology describes a six-phase process applied to identify sites suitable to accommodate the City's share of the RHNA at all income levels, including non-vacant sites suitable to accommodate lower-income housing. The process considered multiple categories of sites, including vacant and non-vacant sites that allow residential development, inclusive of parcels re-zoned as part of the 4th and 5th Housing Element cycles, all with development potential; and sites to be re-zoned to allow for residential development. With respect to the latter, a preliminary list of 29 sites was developed which has 1 While the statute provides that there should be"an analysis of any existing leases or other contracts that would perpetuate the existing use or prevent redevelopment of the site for additional residential development", leases and contracts related to privately-owned properties are not public records. The City may not require property owners or tenants to provide lease information (which may be proprietary or critical to negotiations with other tenants). During the Housing Element Update, City staff spoke with property owners throughout Pleasanton to obtain information on factors that would prevent the redevelopment of sites, as well as gather interest in residential development. Through this process, several property owners indicated their interest in developing their vacant properties zoned as commercial with residential uses, and redeveloping existing nonvacant commercial / retail/warehouse buildings with residential uses. 1
