DRAFT <br />47 | City of Pleasanton 2023-2031 Housing Element <br />Program 4.7 <br />The City will analyze and test standards in the RM zones to determine standards (e.g., setbacks, <br />parking, on-site open space requirements, etc.) that constrain developments and limit the ability <br />to achieve maximum allowed density. Based on the analysis, the City will modify RM zones <br />standards in the Zoning Ordinance to ensure maximum density can be achieved without exception <br />(e.g., planned unit development, etc.). <br />• Responsible Agency: Planning Division <br />• Time Period: Complete analysis (June 2024); amend Zoning Ordinance (December 2024) <br />• Funding Source: Planning Division Budget <br /> <br />Program 4.8 <br />The City will establish a streamlined review process for development of housing sites.
