Pleasanton TOD Standards and Design Guidelines PART 1 Introduction A. PURPOSE These Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Mixed Use Development Standards and Guidelines are to be used to evaluate mixed use and residential development in Hacienda in concert with the Hacienda Planned Unit Development (PUD) regulations, Design Guidelines, and Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions. The intent is to promote a building character, street scale and street -level uses that will allow the incremental development of a TOD "village ", encourage pedestrian activity and promote easy access to the BART station. The development of these three vacant sites, in the midst of the Hacienda Business Park, will contribute to a complete and integrated community containing housing, shops, work places, schools, parks and civic facilities essential to the daily life of residents and employees. The Standards and Guidelines provide direction to developers and property owners on the key components of use, density, building mass and height, setbacks, architectural features, parking, access, and street character. The Standards and Guidelines illustrate desired development on three specific vacant sites near the BART station in Hacienda (Sites 7G, 7E and the northern 12 acres of Site 6 as referenced in the Hacienda PUD and referred to as Sites 1, 2 and 3 respectively in this document). The potential for additional residential development in Hacienda outside Sites 1,2 and 3 will be determined through the Housing Element Update process. Where there are conflicts between these Standard and Regulations and those included in the previously adopted Hacienda regulations, these Standards and Regulations and the core development standards adopted by Ordinance 2016 shall be applied to mixed use and residential development applications for sites 1, 2, and 3. The Core PUD Regulations found in Part 2 of this document apply only to Sites 1,2 and 3. Compliance with these regulations is mandatory and is required as part of the Final Settlement Agreement approved by the Pleasanton City Council in the matter of Urban Habitat v. City of Pleasanton. In regard to the balance of the standards and guidelines in this document, both quantitative and qualitative criteria have been incorporated. To enable greater flexibility and creativity, the City Council may approve proposals that exceed the identified numeric ranges if they determine that such proposals are consistent with the purpose of these standards and guidelines.
