Housing Standards and Design Guidelines <br /> PART 2 <br /> PUD Regulations <br /> All development applications for the identified housing sites will be <br /> reviewed by the City through the Planned Unit Development (PUD) <br /> process, which will include review and recommendation by the Planning <br /> Commission and approval or denial by the City Council at noticed public <br /> hearings. The following regulations establish numeric standards in order to realize <br /> the desired building, open space, and street character contained in the design <br /> guidelines. The City Council may grant exceptions in the application of these <br /> development standards where such proposals meet the intent and purpose of the <br /> standards. Additional PUD regulations and standards are located throughout the <br /> rest of the document. <br /> In addition to the PUD standards described below, all residential development shall <br /> satisfy the Livability Standards in this document relating to: <br /> • The provision of pedestrian and bicycle connections <br /> • Group Usable Open Space (PUD Regulations) <br /> • Landscaped Paseos (B.6) <br /> • Open Space, Landscaping and Lighting (B8, B9, and B10) <br /> And shall also incorporate residential amenities such as play/activity areas, pools, <br /> water features, fitness facilities, and community rooms. <br /> Density: Each site has been zoned for a minimum of 30, 35 or 40 units per acre <br /> (see Table 2.1 Housing Sites, for details). No density may exceed 50 units per acre. <br /> These densities are in addition to whatever onsite retail or service uses the City <br /> may approve as part of a mixed-use project. See Table 2.1 and Appendix B for site- <br /> specific guidelines on uses, density, setbacks, etc. <br /> Note: The City interprets the minimum residential density to be an average <br /> minimum density to be met over each individual parcel. <br /> Affordability: All development shall comply with the City's Inclusionary Zoning <br /> Ordinance through affordable housing agreements entered into between the City <br /> and each developer. Affordable units will be deed-restricted in perpetuity. The <br /> affordable housing agreements will be recorded and will run with the land. <br /> Section 8 Rental Assistance Vouchers: Through the affordable housing <br /> agreements entered into between the City and each developer, the developments <br /> will generally be required to accept HUD Section 8 Rental Vouchers as a means of <br /> assisting qualified applicants. <br /> City of Pleasanton - 7 - DISCUSSION DRAFT June 5, 2011 <br />
