He noted that the Chamber of' <br />Commerce was very vocal in stating that there needed to be more places in Pleasanton <br />that could accommodate families who live and work in the community. He believed <br />Council needed to have a discussion on how much money it wanted to use from the <br />Lower Income Housing fund for seniors versus families and rental versus ownership. I-Ie <br />asked if staff knew when these discussions would occur with the community?. <br /> <br /> Ms. McKeehan reported that staffis in the process of drafting a memo to Council <br />explaining that there had been some thought about holding discussions on land use <br />through the General Plan. If Council wants to proceed with the discussion on land use <br />sooner, it would need to inform staff. <br /> <br /> Mr. Brozosky said that he would like to have these discussions sooner before land <br />use in the General Plan is even discussed.

He was unsure of the exact ownership arrangement that the Auf <br />Der Maurs' had, noted that the development was recently for sale, and staff was contacted <br />by a number of potential buyers looking for financial assistance. Based on a conversation <br />that staffhad with agents for this property, it was mentioned that affordability was not an <br />option. Therefore, staffbelieved the owner would not be looking at bringing affordable <br />housing to that project. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ayala believed the Del Arroyo Apartments was one of the proposed project <br />locations that the Kottinger Place Redevelopment Task Force would be looking at. <br /> <br /> Mr. Bocian noted that the Task Force would not be looking at that particular <br />development, as the City does not regulate it.
