<br />Ms. Maas asked if the units were not counted in the housing cap, where would <br />they be placed in the city? <br /> <br />Mr. Iserson said that area is not zoned for residential development and they are <br />considered part of the 1,680 units between the General Plan build out and the housing <br />cap. If those units are not considered residential units on Staples Ranch, they could go <br />anywhere else, such as Hacienda Business Park near the BART station, or anywhere <br />not currently designated in the existing General Plan. <br /> <br />Mary Roberts believed if density is moving from one part to of the City to another, <br />it is a transfer as far as the Housing Element is concerned. Staples Ranch is currently <br />zoned commercial. <br /> <br />Mr. Iserson said Staples Ranch is not zoned anything at this point because it is <br />outside the city limits. The Specific Plan designates it as commercial. <br /> <br />Ms. Roberts asked if it were possible to transfer density from one part of the city <br />to Staples Ranch and would that count? <br /> <br />Mr. Iserson said if the units were designated as housing units, it would count as <br />transfers from other locations, just as Hacienda. <br /> <br />Ms. Roberts felt there were two issues; are the units counted under the ABAG <br />goals and under the city's housing cap. If the units are not counted under the housing <br />cap then they cannot be transferred from another area. <br /> <br />Mr. Iserson said if you maintain past practice, the units would not be counted <br />against the housing cap, but would still qualify towards the regional housing needs as <br />determined by ABAG, since they meet ABAG's definition. The housing cap issue is <br />totally a local control issue. Pleasanton can determine what qualifies under its housing <br />cap. HCD and ABAG have indicated that assisted living units, which meet the definition <br />of projects in Pleasanton like Staples Ranch can be counted toward the housing needs. <br /> <br />Jennifer Pearce asked in terms of the census definitions, what is the difference <br />between the 65 units and the apartments? <br /> <br />Mr. Iserson said there is not much difference. Because the 65 units come with a <br />bundle of services that the apartment units include, the determination could be made <br />that all the units be considered assisted and not counted toward the housing cap. <br /> <br />Ms. Pearce asked if the apartments had kitchens. <br /> <br />look. <br /> <br />Mr. Iserson said yes and agreed the only difference is really the driveway and the <br /> <br />Joint Workshop <br />City Council/Planning Commission <br /> <br />10 <br /> <br />11/29/05 <br />
