Tri-Valley Local Hazard Mitigation Plan;Volume 2—Planning Partner Annexes in the 1960s was estimated to be 4,200 people. Growth in Pleasanton was further supported by the construction of Hacienda–a major business park–which began in 1982, and construction of Stoneridge Shopping Center. • Climate—Pleasanton enjoys a relatively mild climate,with an average rainfall of 15 inches and average maximum temperature of 89°Fahrenheit in July and average minimum temperature of 37°in December. At its most extreme,winter temperatures can drop below freezing a few days each year,and summer temperatures hover around 100 degrees Fahrenheit during July and August. The temperate weather allows residents year-round opportunities to take advantage of outdoor activities such as hiking the Pleasanton Ridge,cycling along trails and roadways,shopping in the historic downtown district and patio dining at restaurants. • Governing Body Format—The City Council,comprising the Mayor and four City Councilmembers,is the governing body of the city, with all the regulatory and corporate powers of a municipal corporation provided under California State Law. In general,the Council guides the operations of the City government by establishing policies and programs and appropriating funds for each service function,and the City Manager oversees implementation. Members of the City Council are elected at-large. Councilmembers are elected for a term of four-years,and the Mayor is elected to a term of two-years.A Vice Mayor is selected by the Mayor each calendar year.The Mayor and Council are subject to term limits of eight years.The City has 10 committees,commissions,and task forces,which report to the City Council,and 13 departments(inclusive of the City Manager's and City Attorney's Office).The City Council would review and adopt this plan,and the City Manager would oversee its implementation. 3.3 DEVELOPMENT TRENDS The number of housing permits issued in 2016 is 287,which is significantly lower than the 891 permits issued in 2015(for reference, 332 permits were issued in 2014).Housing production,as regulated by the City's Growth Management Ordinance, is expected to continue as a result of an improved economic climate,recent development activity,interest in sites rezoned for high density development,and the City's efforts to encourage housing through implementation of the Housing Element's new policies and programs.New commercial development is located in various areas of Pleasanton.Examples of large scale projects include Workday,which is currently constructing a six-story,approximately 410,000 square foot office building,parking garage, and other improvements near Stoneridge Mall;and an approximately 112,000 square foot new shopping center located in the eastern part of the City near the intersection of Stoneridge Drive and El Charro Road.The City of Pleasanton adopted its General Plan in 2009,and City actions,such as those relating to land use allocations,annexations, zoning,subdivision,design review,redevelopment,and others must be consistent with the General Plan.
