;~.-_
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the City of Petaluma is not in
agreement with the indicated share of the regional housing need, as
contained in the September 15, 1988 Housing Needs Determinations report.
published by ABAG; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this disagreement is based on the City's
opinion that the shares by level of affordability are not equitably
distributed among the communities, based on existing need, nor projected
employment development and,
Additionally, that the projected shares .perpetuate historic trends in
communities and counties, e.g., Napa and Marin counties, which have
historically provided insufficient housing opportunities for low and moderate
income households and/or to meet demands generated by exceptional job
development.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that in addition, the projected shares for
Sonoma County and its communities disregards the severe lack of funding
for transportation and utility development which would be necessary to
support this projected growth.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a copy of this resolution be transmitted
to the Executive Director of the Association of Bay Area Governments.
