standards. This effort is also expected to dovetail with the upcoming update to the Housing
<br /> Element such that objective standards can be established for sites that are eventually
<br /> considered for the Housing Element. Secondly, the project scope includes establishing
<br /> objective design standards for other types of residential development, such as two-, three-,
<br /> and four-plexes, which are housing types that are allowable in several zoning districts today;
<br /> these standards would be implemented upon adoption of legislation pertaining to these
<br /> housing types.
<br /> To assist with determining key area of interest and concern for both of these efforts, the project
<br /> team (consisting of staff and architectural firm Van Meter Williams Pollack (VMWP)) developed
<br /> a self-guided site tour of recent projects.
<br /> Self-Guided Tour
<br /> At the December 9, 2020 Planning Commission meeting, the Planning Commission was
<br /> requested to complete a self-guided tour of seven recently constructed projects in Pleasanton
<br /> at varying densities. The purpose of the tour was to provide an opportunity for in-person
<br /> observations of the projects and provide both general feedback and respond to specific
<br /> questions about each site. To give the Planning Commission adequate time to complete the
<br /> tour and report back, staff requested that each member of the Planning Commission provide
<br /> his/her feedback no later than the end of the day, Sunday, January 10 (after the date for
<br /> distribution of this agenda report). Therefore, while this report incorporates feedback received
<br /> to-date, additional comments from the Planning Commission will be incorporated into the
<br /> presentation and discussion during the meeting on January 13. The Commission will also
<br /> have the opportunity to provide additional comments at the January 13 meeting.
<br /> DISCUSSION
<br /> Site Tour Locations and Questions
<br /> The self-guided site tour consists of seven locations, two of which are smaller-scale infill sites
<br /> located downtown, and others being larger-scale developments throughout the city. Table 1
<br /> summarizes the site visit locations, number of units, and approximate density of each project.
