It was determined by Council to keep this priority on <br />the list. <br /> <br />Mayor Pico opened the meeting for public comments. <br /> <br /> Christine Steiner, 596 Hamilton Way, was hopeful that the Assisted Living <br />facility development would break ground this year. She noted that a meeting has not <br />occurred recently regarding the retention of below market rate rental units. Given the <br />market conditions, she would like both the Vineyard site and the Kottinger Task Force to <br />be placed under affordable housing as a high priority for Council and staff. <br /> <br /> Mayor Pico pointed out that the Kottinger Place Task Force is rated as highest <br />priority. <br /> <br /> Pat Belding, 7703 Highland Oaks Drive, representing Citizens for a Caring <br />Community, an advocacy group for affordable housing, read a letter that was sent to the <br />Mayor and Council on May 18 which addressed the Council's priorities. The letter <br />indicated that the Citizens for a Caring Community have not seen the implementation of <br />the housing element adopted by unanimous vote of the Council in April 2003. At that <br />time, the California Department of Housing and Community Development conditionally <br />approved Pleasanton's housing element pending the effective and timely implementation <br />of the General Plan and rezoning strategy as described in Program 19.1. The June 2004 <br />deadline for accomplishing the required zoning is approaching. Citizens for a Caring <br />Community urge the Council to make rezoning a matter of the highest priority. It is <br />urgent that Council takes this step to authorize staff to complete rezoning by June 2004. <br />The legal integrity of Pleasanton's housing cap and urban growth boundary are <br />threatened if Council docs not rezone sufficient land for 850 housing units for low and <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council 9 06/01/04 <br />Minutes <br /> <br /> <br />
