affordable housing credits until Council has had the chance to have these types of discussions. Since this item had been continued once by Councilmember Ayah, Mayor Pico asked if Council had to accept or reject the matter, or would it be appropriate to continue the matter to allow Council the opportunity to discuss the issue of credits and the Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance. Ms. McKeehan stated that Council could come to any conclusion it chooses. She pointed out that according to the Council Rules and Operating Procedures, a councilmember is only permitted to cont'mue an agenda item once. Mr. Brozosky pointed out that ownership on the Busch property would be senior ownership. As a comparison to Ms. Ayala's comments related to the transfer of credits, he saw more value for subsidized apm~hl~ent living for seniors than subsidized ownership for seniors. He believed it might be better for the community to allowing some transfer of credits and not subsidize senior ownership housing, as there is not a big demand for it in this community. Mayor Pico believed one of the issues was allowing credits to be transferred off the Busch Property by Ponderosa. He asked if there was support for this option. Mr. Campbell stated that he would like to see the credits remain on the Busch property. If the Council wants to discuss the matter further with the developer on the secondary position and school related issues, Ms. Ayala preferred not to take any action. It was moved by Ms. Ayala, seconded by Ms. Hosterman, to continue the credit issues in order to allow for further dialogue with the developer on various uses of the site that is opfloned and on school issues. Ms. Hosterman wanted to allow more time for Council to consider how this would affect the Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance in the future. Council also needed to take into consideration the fact that the City is near build out and there would not be a lot of major projects, to which to apply the Ordinance. Knowing that this project had been approved for development, she was aware that the developer wanted some type of certainty to the value. She did not like using the term "housing credits." She strongly believed a discussion needed to occur with the developer regarding the number of children the project will generate as families move in. This will affect Alisal School, as it is the overflow school, and potentially, those childmm could end up at Mohr Elementary or other public schools in the community. She strongly believed the developer should be concerned. She mentioned her discussion earlier with Mr. Morgan, and noted that he would be willing to discuss what Ponderosa might be able to do in the future to ensure a school is built. She indicated that she did not want to put this issue off for too long and Pleasanton City Council 16 Minutes 11/4/03
