Objective Design Standards for Housing Sites <br />City of Pleasanton - Appendix Page 45 - DRAFT: December 14, 2022 <br />B9. Compatibility with Surrounding Development <br />Development Guidelines <br />All Housing Site Development <br />While the density restrictions and Design Standards on the sites ensure a baseline compatibility with <br />surrounding development, the City desires the implementation of new development compatible with <br />directly adjacent residential neighborhoods and surrounding non-residential buildings. The following <br />strategies should be used to increase compatibility between proposed development and existing built <br />form. <br />a. Providing setbacks that match adjacent properties. <br />b. Providing enhanced landscaping including a variety of trees and shrubs. <br />c. Including an increased setback for floors above the adjacent lower height residential developments to <br />reduce visual perception of height. <br />d. Locating taller buildings in the center of the site or at arterial intersections and locating shorter and <br />less dense development types adjacent to existing residential development. <br /> Page: 49 <br />Author: Steve Subject: Replace Text Date: 12/14/2022 11:17:51 AM <br />Not Objective <br />Attachment 4 - ODS Public Comments - 01-26-23 CC - Page 35
