. Memo #1: Land Use Overview . Memo #2: Potential Additional Housing Sites . Memo #3: Land Use - East Area . Memo #4: High Density Housing Sites . Memo #5: Hacienda Business Park . Memo #6: Southeast Pleasanton Area . Memo #7: Other Remaining Undeveloped Land A total of 52 sites were discussed. Some were vacant and underutilized sites identified by staff; others were requests from owners or potential developers to consider land use changes. A complete listing of the sites discussed is shown in Attachment 1. The City Council may in the future decide to eliminate some of these sites from consideration either because the owners have no further interest in pursuing a land use designation change (for example, the Vintage Hills Shopping Center, which is now undergoing rehabilitation and will continue as a commercial center), or for other planning reasons. All the sites considered in the previous Land Use Memos are shown in Attachment I: Table 1, grouped geographically for the purposes of City Council and Planning Commission consideration at future workshops (see below). The City Council is being asked to provide direction to staff regarding any additional sites that should be added to the list. The owners of all the sites listed in Table I were notified that their property may be discussed at this meeting. OTHER LAND USE ISSUES TO BE DISCUSSED AND RESOLVED Other than potential changes in land use designations, there are several additional issues that need to be discussed and resolved prior to the drafting of the Land Use Element. These include: . Assisted living units and second units: Should they continue to not be considered as residential units in the Growth Management Plan allocation, and the 29,000 housing unit cap, or should they be counted as housing units? Assisted living units mayor may not have full kitchen facilities and include an element of congregate living such as meals served in a central dining room and the provision of a variety of services. In addition, such uses may have a substantial number of employees. For these reasons, in the past, the City has considered assisted living projects as commercial development. Two assisted living projects in Pleasanton have been developed on sites designated for commercial use, have paid commercial fees, and have not been counted as "housing units". The recently approved assisted living facility to be located at 100 Junipero Road is being developed on land designated High Density Residential on the General Plan but the rooms were not counted as "housing units", and the project was exempted from most development impact fees. It will be important for the City Council to determine how assisted living units are categorized so that the Staples Ranch and Hacienda Transit Oriented Development SR 05:268 Page 3 of6
