Other comments from the City Council Workshop concerned whether or not the Hacienda security service would patrol the new residential developments (they would) and whether it would be possible to incorporate a bicycle lane on Gibraltar Drive (not unless the proposed diagonal parking is replaced with parallel parking). GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY A major theme of Pleasanton's General Plan 2005 -2025 was the introduction of a new Mixed Use land use designation and its use (with the Business Park designation) in Hacienda. The designation of Hacienda as Mixed Use /Business Park in the new General Plan was the culmination of extensive discussion regarding the future of Hacienda as a mixed use, transit oriented development taking advantage of its location adjacent to a major transit hub. The proposed Hacienda TOD Standards and Design Guidelines (together with the Hacienda PUD) provide a means to implement the General Plan Mixed Use /Business Park land use designation for development projects on Sites 1, 2 and 3. Adoption of the Hacienda TOD Standard and Design Guidelines 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 safe and convenient mobility of 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. 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. Page 5 of 8
