Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Pleasanton public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Affordable rental housing at 4780 Chabot Drive
A proposed 100% affordable, up to 142-unit family rental project near BART would be the city's first directly supported affordable family housing development. Council supports the concept but must still decide on ~$8.4M in fee relief and a $10.3M inclusionary fee transfer, with the term sheet coming back later.
CalCities Resolution on Local Control of Housing
The council directed its voting delegate to back a League of California Cities resolution to form a working group on restoring local control over housing and land use, against state mandates.
Leicester Property Development (Hidden Canyon)
After nine years, the hillside project near Dublin Canyon Road cleared its big hurdle: 28 new homes, two rebuilt historic homes, ~117 acres of open space with a regional park staging area, and a new traffic signal. Fire safety and homeowners' insurance in high fire hazard zones drew pointed questions.
Tri-Valley Haven Shiloh Rebuilding Project Funding
The city is allocating federal CDBG funds to help close a funding gap for a new domestic violence shelter being built by Tri-Valley Haven.
Quiet Zone Consideration
Pleasanton's City Council is exploring a 'quiet zone' that could change train horn usage near the tracks. If you live nearby, get ready for potentially less noise!
