2023-2031 Housing Element City of Pleasanton | 18 Section 3 Housing Resources 3.A Introduction There are a variety of resources available to support the City in implementation of its housing strategy, landowners and developers seeking to provide affordable housing, and residents in need of housing assistance in Pleasanton. This Section provides a summary of land resources available to accommodate future housing in the City. The detailed housing capacity analysis and methodology is contained in Appendix B. This Section also includes a list of local, regional, State, and federal programs that provide financial and related assistance to support the City in meeting its housing goals. 3.B Land Resources A critical part of the Housing Element is the sites inventory, which identifies a list of sites that are suitable for future residential development. State law mandates that each jurisdiction ensure availability of an adequate number of sites that have appropriate zoning, development standards, and infrastructure capacity to meet its fair share of regional housing need (i.e., RHNA) at all income levels. The inventory is a tool that assists in determining if the jurisdiction has enough land to meet its RHNA given its current regulatory framework. Identification of Sites Suitable for Housing The sites identified in the site inventory (Appendix B) are comprised of parcels located in various areas and zones within the city. Each site has undergone an assessment to determine development potential and residential unit capacity given existing zoning standards, potential capacity under new zoning regulations, and development trends. For detailed information, please see Appendix B. Summary of Adequate Sites Table 3-1 summarizes the City’s methods for satisfying its RHNA. Based on accessory dwelling unit (ADU) projections, entitled and proposed projects, and available 6th Cycle sites (including a rezoning program), the City has enough capacity in all income categories. Assumptions and methodology for this determination and a detailed list of sites are included in Appendix B.
