<br />Housing Constraints City of Pleasanton | C-31 <br />The review authority must consider various criteria prior to approval of a design review application, <br />including: <br />• Preservation of the natural beauty of the city and the project site’s relationship to it. <br />• Appropriate relationship of the proposed building and its site to adjoining areas, <br />including compatibility of architectural styles, harmony in adjoining buildings, attractive <br />landscape transitions, and consistency with neighborhood character. <br />• Preservation of views enjoyed by residents, workers within the city, and passersby <br />through the community. <br />Similar to the analysis of Design Standards and Guidelines, the subjectivity of design review <br />criteria could lead to a protracted approval process and potentially a denial based on interpretation. <br />As noted previously, Senate Bill 330 (Housing Accountability Act, Government Code §65589.5) <br />precludes jurisdictions from denying or reducing the permitted density of a housing development <br />based on subjective development and design standards. The City is in the process of developing <br />updated and expanded design standards and guidelines for residential development, in order to <br />reduce subjectivity in the design review process. A program has been included to ensure <br />completion of the adoption of objective design standards and approval criteria (Program 6.1). <br />Conditional Use Permit <br />Certain housing types require conditional use permits (see Table C-6). The City’s conditional use <br />permit process is described in Chapter 18.124. Planning Commission is the review authority for <br />conditional use permits, and must make the following findings before approving a conditional use <br />permit: <br />• The proposed location of the use is in accordance with the objectives of the zoning <br />ordinance and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. <br />• The proposed location of the use and the conditions under which it would be operated <br />or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially <br />injurious to the properties or improvements in the vicinity. <br />• The proposed conditional use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of <br />Chapter 18.124 (Conditional Uses). <br />To review any potential subjectivity in these findings, the first finding could be revised for <br />objectivity. Objective findings and standards facilitate review and processing by providing <br />certainty to both the applicant and review authority. Program 6.1 for objective design standards <br />and approval criteria for residential and multi-family projects would address this potential <br />constraint. <br />
