Trash enclosures shall be sized and designed to accommodate the City's <br /> source separated recycling program. <br /> C9.e. Buildings should be organized so the impact of servicing functions and utilities <br /> on streets and along pedestrian paths is minimal. <br /> C9.f. Trash enclosures may encroach into side and rear setbacks. <br /> C9.g. Utilities should be incorporated into the design of the building and integrated <br /> into landscaped areas to minimize noise and visual impact.

Residential Storage <br /> Development Guidelines: <br /> C10.1.Residential Storage: Each unit should have at least 40 cubic feet of enclosed <br /> storage area. Storage space should be outside of unit but does not need to <br /> be adjacent to unit. <br /> C11. Compatibility with Surrounding Development <br /> Development Guidelines: <br /> C11.1. While the densities restrictions and requirements on the sites are consistent with <br /> their surroundings, it is desired that the design provides features which are <br /> generally compatible with residential neighborhoods across the major arterial or <br /> street and surrounding non-residential buildings. Features which assist in <br /> creating compatibility may include: <br /> • additional landscaping including large trees within the setbacks <br /> • architectural treatments such as change in material at the upper floors, bays <br /> which extend a story lower to visually lower the facade, or building step backs of <br /> upper floors are all potential treatments which may be considered <br /> • Key corners of housing sites should maintain the "gateway" treatments within the <br /> design guidelines <br /> City of Pleasanton - 42 - DISCUSSION DRAFT June 5, 2011 <br />
