EXHIBIT A <br />AMENDMENTS TO CHAPTER 18.68 (PUD PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT) AND <br />SECTION 18.20.010 (DESIGN REVIEW) <br />OF THE PLEASANTON MUNICIPAL CODE <br />August 12, 2009 <br />Chapter 18.68 (PUD Planned Unit Development District) <br />18.68.010 Created. <br />A zoning classification distinction is created to be known as the planned unit <br />development (PUD) district. (Prior code § 2-8.25) <br />18.68.020 Purpose. <br />The planned unit development district is intended to accomplish the following <br />purposes: <br />A. To encourage imagination and housing variety in the development of property of <br />varying sizes and topography in order to avoid the monotony and often <br />destructive characteristics of standard residential, commercial and industrial <br />developments; <br />B. To provide a development procedure which will insure that the desires of the <br />developer and the community are understood and approved prior to <br />commencement of construction; <br />C. To insure that the goals and objectives of the city's general plan are promoted <br />without the discouragement of innovation by application of restrictive <br />developmental standards; <br />D. To encourage efficient usage of small, odd -sized or topographically affected <br />parcels difficult for development by themselves; <br />E. To accommodate changing market conditions and community desires; <br />F. To provide a mechanism whereby the city can designate parcels and areas <br />requiring special consideration regarding the manner in which development <br />occurs; <br />G. To encourage the establishment of open areas in residential, commercial and <br />industrial developments and provide a mechanism for insuring that said areas will <br />be beautified and/or maintained; <br />H. To complement the objectives of the hillside planned development district (HPD) <br />in areas not subject to the provisions of that zoning district. (Prior code § 2-8.26). <br />
