Watch Pleasanton Mayor's Report On Tri-Valley TV

From Tri-Valley Community Television: On a special edition of “Pleasanton Mayors Report,” Mayor Jerry Thorne and guests City Manager Nelson Fialho and Community Development Director Gerry Beaudin

discuss the 15 new housing bills Governor Brown signed into law on September 29, 2017 and how the housing package will affect the City of Pleasanton. The show may be viewed via video on demand on the TV30 website at tv30.org and clicking on Mayors Report.

“Based on leadership and direction from the City Council, Pleasanton is taking a thoughtful and measured approach to addressing housing needs in our community,” Fiahlho said. “We’re balancing the needs for affordable housing for working families against concerns about the pace of growth and increased traffic, all in the context of maintaining our small-town character,” he added.

The housing laws, signed into law to address the California housing crisis, cover a wide range of issues including streamlining the approval process for new development applications and encouraging sustainable and affordable housing districts in communities. The laws also increase and enforce housing element requirements, place a bond issue on the next ballot to provide more affordable housing for veterans, and also increase affordable housing funding to make it easier for homeowners to construct second units on their property.

In addition, topics discussed on the show include how the new legislation will affect the City of Pleasanton and what the City plans to do to in the future to comply with state law while also preserving local control.

This special edition of “Pleasanton Mayors Report” may be viewed anytime and anywhere via Video on Demand on the station’s website @tv30.org.
