Water Element <br /> Program 4.1: Require new development to pay for its fair share of the City's water <br /> system master plan improvements. <br /> Program 5.1: Require new development to pay its fair share of the City's planned <br /> sewer system improvements including treatment, distribution, reuse, and export <br /> facilities. <br /> Program 8.1: Require new development to pay its fair share of the storm drainage <br /> system improvement costs. <br /> Program 8.4: As determined by the City Engineer, require new development to <br /> improvement local storm drainage systems to accept appropriate design-year flows <br /> resulting from new development. <br /> Program 9.1: Require new development to pay its fair share of the flood-control <br /> improvement costs included in Zone 7's Master Plan. <br /> Air Quality and Climate Change Element <br /> Program 3.3: Require site-specific studies of air quality health risk for development <br /> that would place sensitive receptors closer than 500 feet from the edge of a freeway <br /> or close to a significant point source of air pollution. <br /> The nine sites zoned for multifamily development as part of the recent Housing Element <br /> update would be processed as Planned Unit Developments (PUDs) which includes <br /> project review by both the Planning Commission and City Council. A major <br /> consideration in approving a PUD development is a finding that the project is consistent <br /> with the City's General Plan and any applicable specific plans (PMC 18.68.110.B.2). <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> The proposed amendment to Program 9.1 is consistent with the overall goal of the <br /> Housing Element to meet the housing needs of the Pleasanton community in that it <br /> would eliminate a constraint to housing development (i.e. addition time for development <br /> review) that might be imposed by the operation of the City's Growth Management <br /> Ordinance. <br /> The amendments to the Background material provide additional information that <br /> explains the City's development review process and generally illustrates that the City's <br /> development standards, Growth Management Ordinance and Inclusionary Zoning <br /> Ordinance have not resulted in constraints to development nor imposed an undue <br /> burden on housing cost. <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW <br /> The adoption of the 2012 Housing Element was part of the project which was described <br /> in the Supplemental Environmental Impact Report certified by the City Council on <br /> January 4, 2012. The amendments described in Exhibit A of Attachment 1 are minor <br /> Page 5 of 6 <br />
