Program 2.1: Reduce the need for vehicular traffic by locating employment, residential, and service activities close together, and plan development so it is easily accessible by transit, bicycle, and on foot. Program 2.4: Require higher residential and commercial densities in the proximity of transportation corridors and hubs, where feasible. Program 4.1: Ensure consistency between the General Plan Land Use Map and the zoning designation for all properties within the City's Sphere of Influence. Policy 16: Encourage mixed -use development which encompasses any combination of commercial development, housing units, or community facilities in an integrated development. In areas served by transit, encourage mixed use and residential densities that support affordable housing and transit. Policy 18: Establish a well planned mixture of land uses around the BART stations. Program 18.2: Provide land use flexibility for the Hacienda Business Park, portions of Stoneridge Mall area, and other areas through the Mixed Use /Business Park, and Mixed Use land use designations. The intent is to plan for a mixed use area sufficient to accommodate the City's Regional Housing Needs Determination. Housing Element Policy 9: Promote mixed -use development where appropriate throughout the city, such as residential uses constructed over commercial uses and adjacent to transit. Use the PUD process to reduce residential development standards in mixed use developments, such as sharing parking and reducing open space. Apply for federal and state grants offered for mixed use development near transit centers. Policy 16: Strive toward meeting Pleasanton's share of regional housing needs, as defined by the Regional Housing Needs Determination (RHND). Program 16.1: Designate sufficient land at appropriate densities to meet local and regional housing needs. Policy 19: Make appropriate modifications to the Land Use Element of the General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and other City ordinances, programs, and policies to facilitate the provision of housing, especially housing affordable to moderate low- and very-low- income households. Program 19.1: Within one year of adoption of the Housing Element, complete land use studies to identify for conversion as many of the sites identified in Table IV -6 from non residential to high density residential use as are necessary at appropriate densities (for example, approximately 30 acres at 30 units per acre or 40 acres at 20 units per acre) to meet the City's regional housing needs goal.
