219 Mayor Mercer stated the City's objective to obtain affordable housing im Pleasanton is the central aim. He advised that some of these modular homes will cost $97,000.00, and that without waiver of fees these prices will be higher. He stated he felt the streets should be wider. He reviewed the proposed allocation of units for low-affordable income housing, and brought to the attention of Council the percentage (40-60%) that would go to this project if it is approved. He stated he did not believe this would be the only project that will come before Council; that some could come from other developers for other locations in town. Mayor Mercer stated he is not convinced this is the best project that might be presented, and it behooves the Council to get the best bargain for whoever will buy the homes. He stated he is talking about the width of roads and waiver of fees, which he felt did not meet the criteria for affordability in housing. Councilmember Wood stated that Mayor Mercer has brought out some good points; the building trends are getting into the swing of smaller housing and he felt that developers would not leave this land empty. He stated this particular project could still go into competition later on if it is not approved at this time. Mr. Parrish stated he would like the opportunity to mitigate the parking issue and felt he could do so without substantial change to the plan. He requested Council to continue this item for full Council attendance and to allow him to present mitigating measures to alleviate the parking concerns. Council discussion ensued as to whether or not to reopen the public hearing to take further testimony and for presentation of mitigation measures by Mr. Parrish relative to parking concerns. It was determined that the public hearing would not be reopened and that no further testimony or plan change could be presented to Council. It was moved by Councilmember Wood, and seconded by Councilmember Butler, to continue item 8a - Application of Richard and Ursula Ultsch and Theodore Bates for prezoning and development plan approval for a 250 dwelling unit project on an approxi- mately 29 acre site located on the north side of Vineyard Avenue opposite Sauterne Way, to the City Council meeting of February 9, 1982, 8:00 P.M., Fairgrounds Cafe- teria, for full Council attendance.
