of people who will live in these units. Mayor Tarver felt that the number of growth management should remain at 750 units per year until changed through a general plan process. -- He said that those who object to Council's decision have the option to place it on the ballot by gathering signatures. Ms. Dennis complimented the Affordable Housing Task and community on developing this affordable housing project. She was very pleased with the plans and felt that it was a first- class project. She supported staffs efforts to look for alternatives to preserve the initial funds from the project. She agreed with staff that the traffic problem already exists, but she supported putting Junipero through to Case Avenue to make the residents/citizens feel more comfortable. Ms. Mohr believed that the City would be getting value out of the land. She wanted it to be made clear that the housing will be available to unrelated adults and those with disabilities, as weli as families. She reiterated that staffs job is to give the technical information and data to Council. Council's job is to balance the technical side of issues with the human side. She felt that Junipero, if extended, should be a two-lane road with the existing pedestrian/bike lane. Ms. Mohr was pleased with having affordable housing in Pleasanton. Ms. Mohr said that the number of low income units was established so that the housing could be mixed and the lower- income residents would not stand out or be pointed to. She requested that this project not use palm trees in the landscaping. Mr. Pico asked for clarification on the taxes and financing for the project. He asked who would receive the 'Cash Available for Distribution'. Mr. Bocian answered that the non-profit housing corporation would be the managing general partner of this project. Mr. McClure explained A.F.Evans will be selling tax exempt credits to investors who will bring the equity necessary to provide the funding which is required for the project. The limited partner will also participate in the cash distribution, as will the Housing Corporation and the A.F. Evans Company. Mr. Pico believed that the City could finance this project on its own rather than wait 55 years to own the project. He agreed that this project should be placed on the November ballot or wait until the General Plan Steering Committee has the opportunity to review it. He believed that Junipero needed to be extended before this project was developed. It was moved by Ms. Scribner, and seconded by Ms. Mohr, that Resolution No. 94-51 be adopted, based on a review of an initial environmental impact study done for this project and on a finding that no significant environmental impact would occur as outlined in the City's guidelines and on a further finding that a negative declaration is appropriate in connection with PUD-94-1, A.F.
