Pleasanton TOD Standards and Design Guidelines D7. Bike Parking Development Standards: D7.1. Weather protected and secure bike parking spaces shall be provided for a minimum of 30% of the maximum occupants per dwelling unit. Bike parking can be grouped into one structures or located in private garages. D8. Utility and Trash Enclosures Design Guidelines D8.a. Opaque screen trash and recycling enclosures or individual containers for each unit should shall be provided. D8.b. Enclosures should be located to minimize any conflict with individual units, common open space areas, or neighboring properties. D8.c. Trash enclosures are required to be of durable materials such as concrete or concrete block and finished to integrate with the building design. D8.d. Trash enclosures shall be sized and designed to accommodate the City's source separated recycling program. D8.e. Buildings should be organized so the impact of servicing functions and utilities on streets and along pedestrian paths is minimal. D8.f. Utilities should be incorporated into the design of the building and integrated into landscaped areas to minimize noise and visual impact. Options may include insets into building facades or integration into low wall standards. D9. Residential Storage Development Guidelines: D9.1. Residential Storage: Each unit should have at least 40 cubic feet of enclosed storage area. Storage space should be outside of unit but does not need to be adjacent to unit. D10. Compatibility with Surrounding Development Development Guidelines: D10.1. While the densities restrictions and requirements on the three parcels are consistent it is generally desired that the design provides features which are generally compatible with residential neighborhoods across the major arterial or street. Features which assist in creating compatibility may include: - additional landscaping including large trees within the setbacks. - architectural treatments such as change in material at the upper floors, bays which extend a story lower to visually lower the facade, or building step backs at the top floor are all potential treatments which may be considered.
