General Plan - Housing Element Goal 1: Attain a variety of housing sizes, types, densities, designs, and prices which meet the existing and projected needs of all economic segments of the community. Goal 14: Provide adequate locations for housing of all types and in sufficient quantities to meet Pleasanton's housing needs. Policy 36: Strongly encourage residential infill in areas where public facilities are or can be made to be adequate to support such development. Downtown Specific Plan Land Use Goal: Preserve the character and development traditions of the Downtown while improving upon its commercial and residential viability. Objective 1: Retain the small-town scale and physical character of the Downtown through the implementation of appropriate land use and development standards. Staff finds that the project, if modified to include a more viable commercial space in Residence 1, would have adequate office/retail space to comply with the intent of the General Plan and Downtown Specific Plan land use designations of Retail/Highway/Service Commercial; Business and Professional Offices and Office. As indicated above, the project would also promote policies related to encouraging appropriate infill development, different types of housing, and transit-compatible development. Zoning and Uses The subject parcel is zoned 0 (Office), Downtown Revitalization, Core Area Overlay District. The proposal seeks to rezone the property to Planned Unit Development — Mixed-Use (PUD- MU), which would allow for single- and multi-family residential and commercial uses on the subject site. The rezoning would permit and conditionally permit those uses listed in Section 18.32.030 and 18.32.040 (One-Family Residential) of the PMC for the detached residential units and permit and conditionally permit those uses listed in Section 19.36 (Multi-Family Residential Districts) of the PMC for the apartment units. The designated office/retail/MU spaces would permit and conditionally permit those uses listed in Section 18.44.090 C-C (Central-Commercial) of the PMC Additionally, since this proposal is intended to be a mixed-use project, staff would not support allowing the proposed mixed-use building or office/retail space in Residence 1 to be occupied with solely residential uses in the future.
