The major hill area developments remaining in the City that would be potentially impacted by the Initiative are as follows: Table 1 Project Maximum Estimated Net Unit Development Development Transfer from Potential Under Initiative Hill Areas DU's ~ DU's s DU's Lund II 86 5 (10 by default) Lester 39 0 (10 by default) Spotorno Upper 81 11 Valley -Current GP Spotorno Flat - 79 63 Proposed GP/SP Amendment Foley 18 1 (10 by default) Oak Grove 51 0 (10 by default) Total 275/222 51/103 119-224 Transferring residential development from hillside properties to infill properties would not impact the City's ability to meet its current regional housing needs since the self- imposed limit to our Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) is 29,000 units -the housing cap. However, to the extent that 119 to 224 hillside units are developed in infill areas of the City rather than the hillsides, it is likely that such units would be higher density, multiple family dwellings or smaller single family homes; some would likely be able to qualify as very low, low, and/or moderate income units. This would help Pleasanton in attaining our lower income share of the RHNA numbers. Housing Unit Definition: Regarding the portion of the Initiative that defines "housing unit", the question has been raised as to whether assisted living units and second units must be included as "housing units" and therefore counted towards the housing cap.13 (See also Section 5.20, below.) ' Number of potential dwelling units per General Plan Midpoint Density s Number of units estimated under Initiative 9 Initiative does not appear to affect Spotorno Flat; estimate based on developer's estimate of minimum number of units needed to fund Bypass Road. Verification of developer assumptions have not been confirmed by staff at this time. It is also questionable whether the Initiative precludes the Bypass Road (see Section 5.7). 10 Assuming project overturned by referendum; Dwelling Units (DU) based on approved project 11 Total with Spotorno Upper Valley and Oak Grove /Total with Spotorno Flat without Oak Grove iz Total with Spotorno Upper Valley /Total with Spotorno Flat is The application of the Initiative's defmition of "housing unit" would be prospective only for new projects, as the Initiative did not include language specifically providing for retroactivity.
