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