Pleasanton staff reports City Council adopted inclusionary zoning and advanced ADU grant; commission sets Jan. 22 agenda
Summary
At the Dec. 11 meeting staff reported the City Council adopted the inclusionary zoning ordinance as recommended and approved a grant application for ADU cash grants sponsored by Senator Glazer; the commission's next meeting is set for Jan. 22, 2025 with items on the PUSD Vineyard site and a conditional-use permit at 6622 Owens Drive.
City planning staff told the Pleasanton Planning Commission on Dec. 11 that the City Council finalized adoption of the inclusionary zoning ordinance (IZO) as recommended by the commission and took direction on proposed impact fees. Staff also reported the council approved an application for a grant program proposed by Senator Glazer intended to provide direct cash grants to people building accessory dwelling units (ADUs).
"The City Council finalized the approvals of the inclusionary zoning ordinance, that you all recommended approval of, as well as the other minor amendments to the municipal code," a staff member said, reporting a 4-1 council vote on the IZO. Staff described the ADU grant application approval as a council action that could make direct grants available to ADU builders; staff said additional ADU-related municipal code amendments remain on the workplan.
The commission also set its next meeting date for Jan. 22, 2025. Staff said tentative January/early-February items include a general plan amendment and project tied to the Pleasanton Unified School District Vineyard site (a housing-element site and associated park/open-space policy cleanups) and a conditional use permit for a new religious facility at 6622 Owens Drive.
Staff and commissioners also noted community interest in mall redevelopment and recent retail openings; staff said discussions with mall owners are progressing and more public information should be available in 2025.
