Land use information <br />is based on the City's current General Plano, as well as Zone 7's Regional Demand Study. Adopted in 2009, <br />the City's General Plan guides land development and resource conservation efforts through 2025. The <br />Land Use Element of the General Plan provides policies and maps that guide the use of public and <br />open -space lands and specify the location, amount, and potential density and intensity for development <br />of residential, commercial, and industrial lands. <br />Existing land use within the City generally consists of distinct residential neighborhoods typically <br />separated from non-residential land uses to minimize the potential incompatibility of non-residential and <br />residential uses. The City was predominantly a residential community until 1980, when it saw increased <br />development of industrial, commercial, and office uses. This non-residential development includes the <br />Stoneridge Mall, seven major business parks, five major hotels, and a variety of service centers. Abundant <br />open space surrounds the developed areas of the City. <br />The City's current General Plan encourages mixed land uses and transit -oriented development (TOD), <br />particularly near the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) stations, for future growth. Mixed use development <br />combines office, commercial, hotel, institutional, and residential land uses on a single site or adjacent, <br />interrelated sites. TOD provides walkable, mixed use communities designed around transit stations. Mixed <br />use developments (including TODs) would provide people the opportunity to use alternative modes of <br />transportation to automobiles since residential and non-residential land uses would be combined or <br />integrated on a single or nearby site. <br />To identify future growth in the City's service area for Zone 7's Regional Demand Study, the City's <br />Community Development Department provided a list of known proposed development projects. These <br />proposed projects include mixed use, single family residential, and multi -family residential developments <br />and are shown on Figure 3-2 (which is adapted from Figure 2-2 of the Regional Demand Study). As detailed <br />in Chapter 4 of this plan, single family and multi -family residential water use accounts for approximately <br />45 and 31 percent, respectively, of additional demand compared to 20205. <br />4 City of Pleasanton, 2005. Pleasanton General Plan 2005-2025. <br />htt s: /www.citvofpleasantonca.gov/gov/depts/cd/planning/general.aso <br />5 These percentages are based on 2020 demand as presented in Zone 7's Regional Demand Study, which differs from the City's <br />actual 2020 billed consumption. Since customer classes in City billing data differ from the customer sectors used in the Regional <br />Demand Study, it is difficult to directly compare demand projections and actual 2020 demands. <br />WEST YOST 3-7 City of Pleasanton <br />2020 Urban Water Management Plan <br />N-e80-60-20-04-wP-a-e80-2020uwMP May 2021 <br />
