by the State to eliminate the parking requirement for those properties that meet one of the criteria
<br /> in the proposed section of PMC 18.106.060.
<br /> As mentioned previously in this report, a local agency cannot require parking where the ADU is
<br /> within one-half mile of public transit. Unfortunately, the State did not define "public transit." Staff
<br /> is recommending that Pleasanton use the General Plan Circulation Element to help define
<br /> "public transit".
<br /> The Circulation Element includes Figure 3-12 (see below), which shows public transit service in
<br /> Pleasanton in 2009. There is a clear distinction between regional transit options and local transit
<br /> options. Regional options include BART, ACE trains, and BART express bus service. The local
<br /> transit option is essentially LAVTA, or "Wheels", which services Pleasanton and the Tri-Valley.
<br /> Because we're evaluating transit options based on how well they would substantially reduce or
<br /> eliminate the need for parking, staff is recommending that the parking relieve required as part of
<br /> the ADU legislation be limited to the support offered by the regional options. The regional options
<br /> also happen to be less impacted by route changes and budget, which can provide for more
<br /> stability and few impacts to residential neighborhoods (Staff will provide a Regional Transit
<br /> Station/Stop Map at the Planning Commission meeting).
