ATTACHMENT 3 <br /> Exhibit C <br /> Pursuant to Cal. Government Code section 65583.2(g)(1) and (2)1, based on substantial <br /> evidence set forth in Section 3. Housing Resources and Appendix B: Sites Inventory and <br /> Methodology of the 2023-2031 Housing Element, after examining factors such as density and <br /> capacity, near-term development potential based on vacancies and age of existing <br /> improvements on nonvacant sites, income levels which can be accommodated based on <br /> density, statements of interest from property owners to rezone sites for housing, degree of <br /> underutilization for nonvacant sites, consideration of market conditions and recent <br /> development trends, location in relation to transit, and environmental and infrastructure <br /> constraints and opportunities, the City finds and determines that the existing uses on <br /> nonvacant sites identified in the Sites Inventory to accommodate very-low, low, moderate and <br /> above-moderate income housing, and particularly to accommodate very-low and low-income <br /> housing are likely to be discontinued during the planning period, and therefore do not <br /> constitute an impediment to additional residential development during the period covered by <br /> the Housing Element. <br /> Appendix B: Sites Inventory & Methodology describes a six-phase process applied to <br /> identify sites suitable to accommodate the City's share of the RHNA at all income levels, <br /> including non-vacant sites suitable to accommodate lower-income housing. The process <br /> considered multiple categories of sites, including vacant and non-vacant sites that allow <br /> residential development, inclusive of parcels re-zoned as part of the 4th and 5th Housing <br /> Element cycles, all with development potential; and sites to be re-zoned to allow for residential <br /> development. With respect to the latter, a preliminary list of 29 sites was developed which has <br /> been distilled to 19 sites, of which nine were suitable to accommodate lower-income housing. <br /> 1 While the statute provides that there should be "an analysis of any existing leases or other contracts that would <br /> perpetuate the existing use or prevent redevelopment of the site for additional residential development", leases <br /> and contracts related to privately-owned properties are not public records. The City may not require property <br /> owners or tenants to provide lease information (which may be proprietary or critical to negotiations with other <br /> tenants). During the Housing Element Update, City staff spoke with property owners throughout Pleasanton to <br /> obtain information on factors that would prevent the redevelopment of sites, as well as gather interest in <br /> residential development. Through this process, several property owners indicated their interest in developing their <br /> vacant properties zoned as commercial with residential uses, and redeveloping existing nonvacant commercial / <br /> retail/warehouse buildings with residential uses. <br /> 1 <br />
