19 | City of Pleasanton 2023-2031 Housing Element <br />Section 3 Housing Resources <br />3.A Introduction <br />There are a variety of resources available to support the City in implementation of its housing <br />strategy, landowners and developers seeking to provide affordable housing, and residents in need <br />of housing assistance in Pleasanton. This Section provides a summary of land resources <br />available to accommodate future housing in the City. The detailed housing capacity analysis and <br />methodology is contained in Appendix B. This Section also includes a list of local, regional, State, <br />and federal programs that provide financial and related assistance to support the City in meeting <br />its housing goals. <br />3.B Land Resources <br />A critical part of the Housing Element is the sites inventory, which identifies a list of sites that are <br />suitable for future residential development. State law mandates that each jurisdiction ensure <br />availability of an adequate number of sites that have appropriate zoning, development standards, <br />and infrastructure capacity to meet its fair share of regional housing need (i.e., RHNA) at all <br />income levels. The inventory is a tool that assists in determining if the jurisdiction has enough <br />land to meet its RHNA given its current regulatory framework. <br />Identification of Sites Suitable for Housing <br />The sites identified in the site inventory (Appendix B) are comprised of parcels <br />located in various areas and zones within the city. <br />Each site has undergone an assessment to determine development potential <br />and residential unit capacity given existing zoning standards, potential capacity under new zoning <br />regulations, and development trends. For detailed information, please see Appendix B. <br />Summary of Adequate Sites <br />Table 3-1 summarizes the City’s methods for satisfying its RHNA. Based on accessory dwelling <br />unit (ADU) projections, entitled and proposed projects, and available 6th Cycle sites (including a <br />rezoning program), the City has enough capacity in all income categories. <br />Assumptions and methodology for this determination and a detailed list of sites are included in <br />Appendix B. <br />
