SEARCHWhat’s A House? Pleasanton Measure PP & Measure QQ Let You Decide
October 21, 2008
The Pleasanton housing cap voted in 12 years ago set a cap of 29,000 housing units. Pleasanton’s housing cap still needs a bit of tweaking. On Nov. 4th you can decide exactly what a house is. Pleasanton is about 3,000 housing units away from the 29,000 voter approved cap and based on the Nov. 4th results, Pleasanton voters will essentially decide how many ‘homes’ will be built in the future to meet the voter approved housing cap in Pleasanton.
What is a house?
Pleasanton Measure QQ and Measure PP will let you define what a home is.
Pleasanton Measure PP
A housing unit will be defined as a unit with a kitchen sink, cooking device and fridge the unit would also have a bathroom with toilet and shower or tub.
Measure PP also states the Pleasanton City Council must uphold the housing cap and must not be allowed to grant waivers to allow housing units that meet this definition.
Pleasanton Measure QQ
Supported by 3 of the 5 City Council members. Pleasanton Measure QQ defines a housing unit as a single family home, condominium, town home, half a duplex/duet, one mobile home and one apartment unit. Also, second units (in-law), rooms in extended stay hotels and units in assisted living facilities would NOT count towards the cap.
Get out and vote on Nov. 4th

You have misrepresented the text of PP. PP allows for an exemption of 10 housing units or less. In addition, the definition is against state law since it applies to second units or what some call mother-in-law flats. According to CA state law second units are legal. The language violates state law and will certainly be litigated. This will cost Pleasanton taxpayers. The authors of PP will not have to come up with a penny. Pleasanton taxpayers will be the ones to pay the cost of this poorly worded initiative.
In addition, your description of what QQ does fails to point out that this is what is in the 1996 General plan and has been in effect since the passage of the Housing CAP. It is misinformation to suggest that this is a new definition.
