ANALYSIS The proposed rezonings represent the first step in implementation of the General Plan goals, policies, and programs and Land Use designation for the Hacienda area. In the General Plan adopted in July 2009, the non residential portions of Hacienda are designated Mixed Use/ Business Park, while the residential areas remain in the High Density Residential designation. The proposed rezoning is consistent with the following goals, policies and programs in the General Plan: Land Use Element Policy 2: Integrate land use and transportation planning in order to ensure patterns that facilitate sate and convenient mobility or people and goods at a reasonable cost, and to increase travel alternatives to the single- occupant automobiles. 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. Case No. PRZ -48., City of Pleasanton Planning Commission Page 6 of 10
