Pleasanton TOD Standards and Design Guidelines <br /> B. SITE DESIGN AND PLANNING <br /> B1. Site Circulation <br /> The intent of the circulation hierarchy is to provide a quality entry experience by <br /> visitors and residents emphasizing pedestrian access over vehicular access to one's <br /> home, while allowing for convenient secondary vehicular circulation. Site <br /> circulation should facilitate pedestrian and bicycle use and will link housing, shops, <br /> work places, schools, transit, parks and other facilities essential to the daily life of <br /> residents and employees in Hacienda. <br /> Design Guidelines <br /> B1.a There should be a distinct hierarchy of circulation including public streets, <br /> internal "streets" or drives, pedestrian walks /paseos and alleys / parking <br /> areas. These should be arranged so that visitors and residents use the <br /> primary circulation of public streets, internal streets and drives and <br /> pedestrian walks / paseos for their primary circulation and addressing of the <br /> units and building orientation. Alleys and parking areas should not be used <br /> for primary circulation to the building /units entries, and buildings should not <br /> orient to alleys or parking areas. <br /> Glossary: <br /> Public Street: A public owned right of way that provides pedestrian, vehicular, and <br /> or bike access. <br /> Internal Street /Drive): Private streets or drives that provides vehicular and <br /> pedestrian access to buildings not accesses off public streets. <br /> Alley /Parking Area: Public or private vehicular drive that is used to access private <br /> garages, structured parking, and /or surface parking. <br /> Paseo /Pedestrian walk: A public or private pedestrian right of way the provides <br /> access through a site or to buildings entrances. <br /> City of Pleasanton - 23 - DRAFT #7 2/11/11 <br />
