Draft 14. Subregional Planning Element The City of Pleasanton also contributes to East Bay Housing Organizations (EBHO), a non-profit membership organization dedicated to working with communities in Alameda and Contra Costa counties to preserve, protect, and expand affordable housing opportunities through education and advocacy. Pleasanton works with this organization to promote Affordable Housing Week (annually in May) by helping coordinate affordable housing events in the Tri Valley. Pleasanton is also in the process of endorsing Alameda County's EverylHome Plan, the purpose of which is to end chronic homelessness and reduce housing crises fox extremely low-income people with HIV\AIDS and chronic mental health problems. It includes a 10-year plan to end chronic homelessness within a broader 15-year housing plan that includes families. The plan recognizes that homelessness is a regional problem that requires regional solutions and coordination. Transportation [This section will be updated after the Planning Commission reviews and comments on the Circulation Element] Airport The Livermore Municipal Airport, owned and operated by the City of Livermore, is the only airport in the Tri Valley. It is located south of I-580 near the Airport Boulevard interchange. As of 2005, there were approximately 650 aircraft based there and over 200,000 annual aircraft take offs and landingss. Current plans fox the Airport include improvements to support facilities, but no additional runways or extensions. Flight patterns and future airport expansions are major concerns in the southern Tri-Valley area which should be subject to multi-jurisdictional cooperative planning. Pleasanton supports the formation of a Tri-Valley Airport Advisory Committee to provide input into the operations and expansions of the Airport fox the benefit of the entire Tri-Valley. Livermore and Pleasanton are currently negotiating a system to periodically monitor airport noise.

Some Tri-Valley residents, living within unincorporated Alameda County and the City of Pleasanton, obtain water supplies from the City and County of San Francisco. (See the Water Element fox additional discussion of these regional water-supply, storage, and transport issues.) Zone 7 stores water from both the South Bay Aqueduct and local runoff in the Del Valle Reservoir, and then uses this water to replenish groundwater supplies through release into the Axxoyo del Valle and Arroyo Mocho. To enhance the reliability of water supply during drought periods, Zone 7 has purchased additional groundwater storage.
