housing, should or should not be on the list. That debate probably does not really need to <br />have more than one meeting in order to be fully aired. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ayala asked about the top twenty list that has been discussed and her <br />question concerned the definitions of what is actually on the list, for instance, affordable <br />housing. Is there a conflict between what we would be asking the voters to approve and <br />the agreement that the City has with Greenbriar? <br /> <br /> Mr. Roush said the City's development agreement with Greenbriar provides in <br />part that there are certain land uses for which the City can use the land that Greenbriar is <br />transferring to us without restriction, those include affordable housing. That tracks the <br />exhibit list that went with Measure I. If a particular use is not considered a public use, <br />then Greenbriar is given the fight of first refusal to purchase the property for what we <br />would negotiate with a third party in terms of our selling or leasing that property. The <br />issue that comes up in affordable housing is how one defines affordable housing. As Mr. <br />Swift indicated earlier, depending on where you look in the City's General Plan and in <br />the City's various ordinances, we define affordable housing in a number of different <br />ways. Greenbriar would probably take the position that anything less than 100% <br />affordable housing would trigger the provisions of the development agreement. It is not <br />as black and white as that, but Greenbriar is likely to take the position that anything less <br />than 100% affordable housing would cause Greenbriar to have the right of first refusal. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ayala asked about the affordable housing in perpetuity element and asked for <br />explanation on how the City would do a market rate housing in perpetuity? <br /> <br /> Mr. Roush said what the Council has done in the past when it has approved <br />affordable housing, has been to approve has been to approve both market rate and <br />affordable housing rate units. As to the affordable housing units, those have been in <br />perpetuity. <br /> <br />Ms. Dennis said a mixed income housing development that the City sponsored <br />· has been considered and affordable housing project. What staff is now saying is that <br />GTeenbriar would object to that format and that they would like the right of first refusal <br />on a property like that. She said she understood that Greenbriar doesn't want us to do our <br />own development there of market rate housing, but regarding the City sponsored projects <br />that she has seen the City do so far, they are substantially different than the affordable <br />projects that are privately done, with inclusionary zoning of 15% of affordability. <br /> <br /> Mr. Roush said he was not sure how to respond. His sense of it is if there is a <br />project like the Promenade what he thought Greenbriar might say is to allow the City to <br />develop the whole thing, allow Greenbriar to market the market rate, and the City can <br />control the affordable. But he is not sure how they would respond to a "for rent" project <br />as opposed to a "for sale" project that would have both affordable units and market rate <br />units. <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council 11 <br />Minutes <br /> <br />06/04/02 <br /> <br /> <br />
