Chapter 13 (Residential Allocation Program) is added to <br />Title II (Zoning and Development) of the Ordinance Code of the City of <br />Pleasanton to read as follows: <br /> <br /> Chapter 13 <br /> <br /> RESIDENTIAL ALLOCATION PROGRAM <br /> <br /> Section 2-20.01. Purpose. The City of Pleasanton has undergone <br />a variety of transformations in the past decade which have affected <br />the growth patterns, housing supply and availability of municipal <br />services. Prior to the mid-1960's Pleasanton was a rural community <br />with primary emphasis upon agricultural activities. During the period <br />1963 to 1971 the community experienced an unprecedented growth due <br />to the transition of agricultural properties into housing subdivisions; <br />the community was one of the fastest growing communities in the State <br />during the 1960's.

This <br />ordinance will regulate the number of residential units available for <br />development annually, it will establish a method for dispersing said <br />units, it will establish a criteria for judging among developments, <br />and it will assist the City Council, Planning Commission and City <br />staff in implementing the goals and policies of the City's general <br />plan. In addition, this ordinance will provide direction to land- <br />owners and developers as to the City's intentions regarding residential <br />development so that a more definitive assessment of the development <br />potential of the property can be undertaken by the landowner and <br />developer. <br /> <br /> This ordinance does not apply to commercial/industrial develop- <br />ments.
