Resolution No. PC-2010-29 recommending approval of Case PUD-82 was entered and adopted as motioned. c. PGPA-16, City of Pleasanton Application for a General Plan Amendment to remove all references to the housing cap (Measure GG 1996, limiting the total number of residential units to 29,000) from the 2005-2025 General Plan. Mr. Dolan presented some preliminary comments to supplement the written report. He noted that the next two items relate to the settlement agreement that the City has entered into regarding various litigations.He noted that as part of the settlement, the City has been required to take certain actions, and taking these items before the Commission is part of the administrative process for completing these actions. He indicated that these items were almost placed on the Consent Calendar, but staff chose not to do that in case the Commission had questions. Commissioner Pentin inquired if the reference to “remaining few new housing units” on page 13-8, Economic and Fiscal Element of the 2005-2025 Pleasanton Plan was appropriate when the housing cap has been removed. Ms. Stern replied that the City has not changed its land use designations. She noted that if the holding capacity of the Plan was calculated out, it would still come out to about 29,000 units currently planned for rather than housing units allowed. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. There were no speakers. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. Commissioner Pentin moved to recommend that the City Council approve Case PGPA-16 amending the 2005-2025 General Plan to remove all references to the housing cap.
