DRAFT 53 | City of Pleasanton 2023-2031 Housing Element Policy 6.3 Strongly encourage residential infill in areas where public facilities are or can be made to be adequate to support such development. Policy 6.4 Ensure that new housing development and improvements to existing housing (e.g., rehabilitation, remodels and additions) integrate sustainable design and energy efficiency features, including a reduced lifecycle carbon footprint of materials required for the development of housing (i.e., remodels, additions, and new units), reduced energy and water consumption and efficiency, and expanded use of renewable energy sources. Policy 6.5 Encourage new housing to be located in areas well-served by public transit and the active transportation network (e.g., pedestrian and bicycle facilities), and seek to improve these facilities throughout the city, in order to improve access to all modes of transportation and reduce Vehicle Miles Travelled (VMT) associated with new development. Programs Program 6.1 Develop and adopt Objective Design and Development Standards for each of the sites zoned for densities above 30 dwelling units per acre, including appropriate height limits, Floor Area Ratio, setbacks, massing, open space and parking requirements, and approval criteria (i.e., findings for approval) to ensure projects can accomplish their assigned densities, while mitigating potential incompatibilities between those higher density projects and adjacent uses, for example by providing for buffers or stepping heights between existing lower-density and new higher density buildings. • Responsible Agency: Planning Division • Time Period: March 2023 • Funding Source: Planning Division Budget, Housing Grants
