The Initiative's definition of housing unit includes no minimum residency period, so one <br />could question whether each room at an extended stay hotel, with a "kitchen" and <br />"bathroom", would count as a housing unit towards the housing cap. An extended stay <br />hotel typically provides housekeeping and business support services to residents. <br />However, persons staying at an extended stay hotel could be said to "live separately" and <br />are "independent" of other guests. Significantly and practically, extended stay hotels, at <br />least as they function in Pleasanton, serve travelers who have a permanent residence <br />elsewhere and who typically use these hotels while on assignment on a temporary, short- <br />term basis. Of interest is that the Census Bureau classifies a hotel as an "accommodation <br />establishment", which appears to be different than a housing unit or group quarters. <br />5.21 What is the total "Existing plus Approved" units? <br />As of January 1, 2007, there were 26,245 existing plus approved units. <br />5.22 How many remaining potential units are there from the 1996 General Plan <br />at mid-point of density? <br />As of January 1, 2007, there were 748 potential units (unapproved and based on the 1996 <br />General Plan mid-point densities). <br />{The following information was provided in the City Council Agenda Report (Item 16) <br />of August 21, 2007.} <br /> As of Jan. 1, 2007 <br />Existin Dwellin Units 25,765 <br />Units Under Construction 223 <br />A roved Units 257 <br />Potential Future Units <br />(no approvals) 748 <br />Total Dwelling Units at Build-out of <br />the General Plan 26,993 <br />Residential Units allowed under the <br />Voter-A roved Ca 29,000 <br />Remaining Units to be Tanned for 2,007 <br />24 <br />
