NIMBIES cry we can do nothing. Fortunately we must do 413 housing units (or or change zoning to agricultural).
| ABAG message to Pacifica NIMBIES |
.... "The last
report goes up to 2014, so it's time to do it again for the next eight
years. The plan estimates, and this was a bone of contention for
several speakers, that Pacifica will need 413 housing units across a
variety of income levels -- 60 extremely low income, 61 very low income,
68 low income, 70 moderate income and 154 above moderate income. Those
numbers are based on population growth data generated by the Association
of Bay Area Governments. It represents a 138 unit increase over the
last report. It also represents a population that is aging. Planning Commissioner Jeffrey Cooper noted about half of the number of units is a carryover from last year.
.... The report, which identifies areas that could be developed, does not automatically lead to any projects. In addition, future developers could choose alternative locations. .... Murdock said he expected to get another draft of the Housing Element back to the Planning Commission by February or March. It will require a City Council hearing for final adoption before it goes back to the state for final certification." Read article.

This old thing again? Nothing like hundreds of homes comes of it, nothing ever will. Instead, we see the low density expensive stuff like Harmony. Hearing that the word "Preserve" has been mentioned by the new owners of the quarry does not hint at the usual sub-divison with hundreds of homes. More likely 20 or 30 and lots of open space. So, Pacifica gains a few upscale pockets for the privileged few and we don't have affordable housing to buy or rent. Revenue for Pacifica? That's the real rip-off. We develop the available land, but with such low density residential the city gets a pittance. Somebody makes money but it isn't the City of Pacifica. Oh well, that's one way of making sure we never have any of that nasty old commercial or tech or light industry in Pacifica.
