<br />The roll call vote was as follows: <br />AYES: Councilmembers - Brozosky, McGovern, Sullivan, Thorne, and <br />Mayor Hosterman <br />None <br />None <br />None <br /> <br />NOES: <br />ABSENT: <br />ABSTAIN: <br /> <br />Mr. Sullivan supported the motion and wanted to maintain the 350 unit cap in <br />place while revising the growth management reporting process. <br /> <br />Ms. McGovern expressed concern about when staff could come back with the <br />revisions. <br /> <br />Mr. Fialho indicated it would be part of the implementation of the General Plan. <br />Policies would be established to allow an update to the growth management. The only <br />distinction is the concept of setting aside a reserve. <br /> <br />Mr. Sullivan want to make certain there was flexibility in setting aside a reserve <br />as Council moves forward with the General Plan. <br /> <br />Regarding the jobslhousing balance, Ms. McGovern suggested putting <br />something in the General Plan that there be a condition to move towards some type of <br />housing units for people who live and work in Pleasanton. <br /> <br />Mr. Fialho believed that something could be included in the affordable housing <br />program that would set parameters for criteria for eligibility. <br /> <br />Mr. Sullivan commented that the Planning Commissioners indicate that policy is <br />already in place. <br /> <br />Mr. Fialho indicated staff would confirm whether that is a general policy and find <br />a way to include it in the General Plan. In terms of jobs/housing balance, staff had <br />several recommendations on page 6 of 9 of the staff report. <br /> <br />Mr. Sullivan was comfortable with the policies presented by staff and <br />acknowledged that a balance is not achievable at this time based on the housing cap <br />and amount of commercial/office development in the city. Articulating some policies <br />that work toward that end is a better approach. <br /> <br />Ms. McGovern asked if these were changes to current practice. <br /> <br />Mr. Fialho said some of the suggestions have been done and some are silent in <br />the General Plan. Staff is saying it recognizes it cannot achieve a jobs/housing balance <br />because of external factors. For general policy purposes and land use planning <br />purposes, these are some of the things the city could consider to maintain the existing <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council <br />Special Meeting <br /> <br />5 <br /> <br />11/29/05 <br />
