Commissioner Wilson then asked Mr. Rockhold to show him the 30.1 acres. Mr. Fisher explained. Mr. Cox referred to Figure 6 in the booklet. Commissioner Wilson also indicated if the staff is coming up with a report which says the developer doesn't have sufficient parking, where the developer would get more parking. Mr. Cox said the plaza area could be diminished, the square footage of the building could be diminished which would diminish the plaza area because it would be economically unfeasible to have such a large plaza for buildings which were reduced in size. Mr. Cox explained they would have to have 2,850 spaces for a ratio of one to three hundred and they are proposing 2,550 or one for 335 sq. ft. for the office center. Commissioner Wilson asked about the length and width of the proposed parking stalls. Mr. Fisher explained. Mr. Harris said the staff still has concerns with density with regard to overall land coverage. He explained Reynolds and Brown were allowed 33%, Meyers 35%, Prudential is requesting 37%. He said the Daon density is much higher. He further said the Meyers project was allowed a maximum of 50% floor area coverage for their office area and Prudential is asking for 50% maximum. He said Daon is seeking a 65% FAR in the office portion of their development. He suggested that the buildings be made smaller and the ratio in- creased. T~Ir. Cox reiterated that the criteria used was in planning for a 'regional location.' Iie rebutted Mr. Harris' comments by stating that they are not proposing a business park but rather a regional center. Commissioner Wilson said he wondered if the intensity was diminished he hoped it wouldn't increase the cost of the residential units pro- posed. Karin Mohr spoke on the bond issue. Mr. Cox said these would be entry level units even if the favorable interest rates would come back; hence they are proposing density of 17 units per acre including the park. He said they consist of attached units, townhouses, flats with parking built into the structures with parking over townhouses and three acres of park. Density was then discussed relative to other units in the City of Pleasanton. Commissioner Jamieson indicated that no one has yet defined affordable housing. Mr. Cox indicated there is a proposed formula using the median income of the area. Commissioner Wilson asked if the bonds go through would the homes be available only to first time buyers. Mr. Cox said they would be available either to first time buyers or to persons who have not owned a home within the last three years. T~Ir. Cox then explained the number of bedrooms, etc. -4-
