Commission Commissioner Hovingh suggested that Commissioner Barker be the liaison to the Affordable Housing Commission. Commissioner Barker accepted. 8e. General Plan Undate Preview and Process Discussion Wayne Rasmussen gave a presentation of the proposed General Plan update. He explained the assumed stipulations, such as the current number of housing units allowed is 21,000 resulting in a population of 57,000. The new general Plan would allow for 27,000 housing units plus the San Francisco development. To determine the EIR, staff took the 1986 General Plan build out of the San Francisco property which was 2257 housing units, build out would be 29,257 housing units, and therefore the population would be about 75,200. Also, the annual housing unit allotments to be reduced from 650 units plus an additional 100 affordable housing units constructed per year to 350 units (occurring around 1999). The City currently has about 11.2 million square feet of commercial office/industrial floor area and about 32,000 employees. With the updated General Plan, it would increase to 28.2 million sq. ft. with 68,000 employees. The ratio of employees at build-out to the current number is a little less due to the addition of Light Industrial land near the Kaiser quarry plant. Commissioner Hovingh asked staff to relate job/population ratios to other cities. Mr. Rasmussen will review data and advise at a later date. The General Plan Planning Area has expanded from 27,000 acres to 47,000 acres, primarily the result of adding the Pleasanton ridgelands (13,000 acres) and acreage south of Highway 84 (7,500 acres). Kilkare Canyon and Sunol are not included in the Planning Area, Mr, Rasmussen described the Wildlands Overlay as acting as a corridor from the Ridgelands to the Ohlone Wilderness. The 100 acre GE plant site is not included in the overlay as well as the houses Planning Commission Minutes Page 12 February 14, 1996
