In recent vears. as fewer lars?e residential development sites are available and the number. of residential units seeking building per mits is significantly lower than the annual allocation,~reduced in 2004 to 350 units/year there has been less need for a growth management system that acts to meter residential development. In the future, it is anticipated that the overall residential growth rate will decrease as the number of units approaches the 29,000 unit cap (see below). However, there maybe years when large- scale multifamily or mixed use projects near the BART stations or in East Pleasanton compete with smaller projects for residential allocations. In addition, there is an opportunity to incorporate goals of this General Plan such as energy conservation, affordable housing, and sustainability into the allocation process. Future refinements of the Growth Management Program should seek to simplify the system and to incorporate the City Council's priorities. Holding Capacity Holding 6capacity is the ultimate size of the community that the Planning Area ean--l~would accommodated if all land uses shown on the General Plan Map were to be built. Capacity is expressed in terms of housing units, population, commercial/office/industrial building floor area, and jobs at buildout. By 2025~~if all residential land shown on the General Plan Map were built out, Pleasanton would contain a maximum of appre~nately-29,000 housing ttrZits--units, approximately 600 second units, and approximately 1.100 residents in con>?re~ate (eroupl livine faciliries~. These units wlt~ would support a residential population of about ~438~78,200. This 13a ~ population estimate assumes that ,vacancy rates will average LU element 082107 redline 2-16
