Greg Smith, 4943 Foothill Road, Pleasanton, asked that the City <br />set aside a certain number of units per year for the small <br />developer. He said small developers need to be considered as they <br />have served us well. <br />Harvey Levine, 1296 Vintner Avenue, Pleasanton, spoke about the <br />hundreds of people who put in many hours of their time by serving <br />on Industrial and Residential Committees and he hoped that the <br />proposals will be given careful consideration. <br />Mayor Brandes said he is concerned with the provision of <br />infrastructure. He would like to have some benchmark. <br />Commissioner Michelotti stated that the population increased <br />quickly before the benchmarks. <br />Commissioner Innes stated that if our employment rate increases <br />as projected, we could go to 1000 units per year very quickly. <br />Councilmember Mohr asked if the State of the City report <br />addresses this problem. Mr. Lee answered that we are trying to <br />make it more and more specific over time. <br />Councilmember Mercer feels that a maximum 1000 units a year does <br />not seem especially high and that Council has discretion to <br />reduce that number in any given year. <br />Commissioner Wilson pointed out that the General Plan calls for a <br />75/25 split between single family and multiple family housing. <br />The consensus on the Growth Management Policies was Option 1 <br />which states that the annual growth rate would be between 260 and <br />650 units per year, unused allocations would accrue to subsequent <br />years and exemptions would be allowed in addition to the annual <br />allocation up to a maximum of 1000 units in any year. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />The meeting was adjourned at 12:01 A.M. by Councilmember Mercer <br />in honor of George Spiliotopoulos who has given so much of his <br />time and energy to our City. <br />- 13 - <br />
