Objective Design Standards for Housing Sites <br />City of Pleasanton - 11 - DRAFT: January 4, 2023 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />PART 2 <br />DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS <br /> <br />The following regulations establish quantitative standards in order to realize the desired building, open <br />space, and street character contained in the Design Standards. <br /> <br />In addition to the Design Standards described below; all multifamily residential development shall <br />satisfy other standards in this document relating to: <br />• The provision of pedestrian and bicycle connections (both private and public) <br />• Group Usable Open Space (Development Standards) <br />• Landscaped Paseos (A.6) <br />• Open Space, Landscaping and Lighting (A8, A9, and A10) <br />And shall also incorporate residential amenities such as play/activity areas, pools, water features, fitness <br />facilities, and community rooms. <br />Density: Each site has been identified for a range of density expressed in units per acre (see Table 2.1 <br />Housing Sites, for details). These densities are in addition to the on-site retail or service uses that the <br />City may approve as part of a mixed-use project, if such additional development was anticipated in the <br />2012 Housing Element and Climate Action Plan General Plan Amendment and Rezonings Supplemental <br />EIR, or the 2023-2031 (6th Cycle) Housing Element Update Program EIR, or as approved through any <br />subsequent tiered environmental review. <br />Note: The City interprets the minimum residential density to be an average minimum density to be <br />met over the entirety of the project site (i.e., different portions of the site may have densities <br />that are either higher or lower, but the minimum density is met cumulatively across the <br />entire site). <br /> Permitted and Conditionally Permitted Uses: In addition to residential uses at the densities assigned <br />in Table 2.1, mixed-use development (commercial uses in conjunction with residential uses) is allowed <br />as follows on sites where such additional development was anticipated in the 2012 Housing Element and <br />Climate Action Plan General Plan Amendment and Rezonings Supplemental EIR, or the 2023-2031 (6th <br />Cycle) Housing Element Update Program EIR, or as approved through any subsequent tiered <br />environmental review. <br />• Appendix C lists permitted and conditionally permitted uses for designated 5th Cycle (Carryover <br />Sites) <br />• 6th Cycle Housing Element Sites 18 (Valley Plaza) and Site 2 (Stoneridge Shopping Center), <br />permitted and conditionally permitted uses shall be allowed as specified by their underlying <br />zoning, within mixed use projects on these sites. Vertical mixed use (mixed uses within the <br />same building) or horizontal mixed use (mixed uses within different buildings on the same site) <br />is allowed. <br />Affordability: All development shall comply with the City’s Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance (IZO) <br />through Affordable Housing Agreements entered into between the City and each developer; the <br />agreements will be recorded and will run with the land. Inclusionary units shall be deed-restricted to be <br />affordable in perpetuity. Accessory Dwelling Units or Junior Accessory Dwelling Units shall not be <br />permitted to count towards meeting the IZO’s minimum inclusionary requirements. <br />
