<br /> EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
<br /> The City of Pleasanton has initiated a process to develop an updated and expanded set of
<br /> objective design standards for residential development. The intent of this effort is to address
<br /> recent changes in State law that seek to streamline and increase housing production, focused
<br /> on making approval processes more routine and predictable for developers by creating
<br /> objective standards in lieu of discretionary review. The Planning Commission, at the direction
<br /> of City Council, commenced the project on December 9, 2020. Since the December meeting,
<br /> the Planning Commission was asked to visit several recently constructed projects of varying
<br /> densities and housing types and subsequently respond to an online survey asking about
<br /> different features of the projects (reference Exhibits A and B to this agenda report). This
<br /> meeting is structured to summarize the Planning Commission's feedback and solicit direction
<br /> from the Commission on ways to incorporate this feedback into the objective standards.
