5.24 With the current practice of "counting" units for the Housing Cap, does <br />the City include the following categories: (i) second units; (ii) assisted living <br />units; and (iii) affordable units? <br />(i) Second Units - No, per Government Code § 65852.2 (a) (2). As of January 1, 2007, <br />the City had approved 169 second units. <br />(ii) Assisted Living Units - No, these are considered commercial uses. As of today, <br />there are two assisted living projects in the City (70 beds in Eden Villa on Mohr Avenue, <br />and 105 beds in Parkview Assisted Living Facility37 on Valley Avenue). In working with <br />the Census Bureau to update information for the 2010 Census, staff was advised that the <br />Parkview Assisted Living Facility should be counted as Group Quarters rather than <br />separate residential units because of the congregate care services. (See also Section 5.20, <br />above.) <br />(iii) Affordable units -Yes, these are counted unless they were either second units or <br />assisted living units. For example, mobile home units have been considered affordable <br />units, and are counted towards the housing cap. <br />5.25 Did the City count the following senior housing projects towards the cap? <br />o Pleasanton Gardens (built 1969): Yes, counted towards the cap. <br />o Kottinger Place (built 1973): Yes, counted towards the cap. <br />o Ridge View Commons (built 1989): Yes, counted towards the cap. <br />o Deer Ridge Apartments (built 1994): Yes, counted towards the cap. <br />o Stanley Junction Apartments (built 1997): Yes, counted towards the cap. <br />o Gardens at Ironwood (built 2005-2006): Yes, counted towards the cap. <br />o Parkview Assisted Living Facility (built 2007): No; as this is an assisted living <br />facility with group meals, a wide range of services and congregate care as well <br />as housing. <br />5.26 Would the housing cap portions of the Initiative be applied retroactively? <br />These provisions would not be applied retroactively. <br />37 For the Parkview facility, of the 105 beds, 86 are units with their own bathroom and kitchenette (sink, <br />refrigerator and microwave), while the remaining 19 beds are in the memory care section with no <br />kitchenette. <br />26 <br />
