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