Exhibit "A" Res. 2323 6/22/83 GP -83 -3 PROPOSED LAND USE AND CIRCULATION ELEMENT CHANGES LAND USE AND CIRCULATION ELEMENT PROVIDING RESIDENTIAL DENSITY STANDARDS To be inserted as first full paragraph on page 3a The dwelling unit per acre standards specified for the residential density categories are intended to establish the following general popula- tion density standards for the areas placed into these categories: Low Density Residential, not exceeding 9.0 persons per acre; Medium Density, from 5.4 to 36.0 persons per acre; High Density Residential, more than 18.0 persons per acre, and averaging 45 persons per acre. These population density standards are based upon an assumed household size of 3.6 persons per dwelling unit for Low and Medium Density Residen- tial and 3.0 persons per dwelling unit for High Density Residential. The actual population density in terms of persons per acre is the product of the number of dwelling units per acre and the number of persons per dwelling unit. Since the latter number varies from household to household and may change over time, the population density standards expressed in terms of persons per acre must considered fairly general and flexible. The City's approval of residential developments will be stated in terms of dwelling units per acre, but the number of dwelling units per acre approved within the ranges specified for each residential density category should consider up -to -date information on average numbers of persons per dwelling unit in various types of housing in Pleasanton.
