Presentation on Conceptual Plan for Affordable Housing Mr. Buzz Martin, 349 Hartford Road, Danville, representing Martin Development, made a verbal and slide presentation to Council, presenting a conceptual plan for affordable housing for the City of Pleasanton. He requested Council support of his concept by formal commitment, which would involve cooperation on the part of the City to provide land, waive various City fees, and provide favorable financing, in an effort to get the proposed project started. Mr. Martin could not name any price range for his affordable housing, stating that would be dependent on how much the City was willing to contribute. Mayor Mercer stated he felt it was not fair to endorse the first concept pre- sented but that other developers should be allowed to present any plans they might have relative to affordable housing. Councilmember Kephart stated that'Council has talked about affordable housing for a long time and he felt it was time to do something about it. He stated he liked the concept presented tonight and felt tt should be given consideration. He stated he would like to know what type of money is available, availability of land, etc. Councilmember Butler stated he felt this concept is a good one and would favor pursuing the idea further. Mayor Mercer suggested that the newly proposed Housing Task Force of the Chamber of Commerce could review and make recommendations on this concept. Councilmember Mohr asked about rental housing.
