<br />C-12 | City of Pleasanton Housing Constraints <br />fundamental organizing element of the site plan (A8.a), windows should emphasize vertical <br />massing of buildings (C2.b), etc.). Similar standards and guidelines are included in the Hacienda <br />Design Guidelines, which apply to certain higher density sites (e.g., BART site 1). The subjectivity <br />of design guidelines could lead to a protracted approval process and potentially a denial based <br />on guideline interpretation. However, Senate Bill 330 (Housing Accountability Act, Government <br />Code §65589.5) precludes jurisdictions from denying or reducing the permitted density of a <br />housing development project based on subjective development and design standards. The City <br />is currently underway with an update to the existing Housing Site Development Standards and <br />Guidelines to replace subjective design guidelines with objective standards, and to provide a <br />broader range of objective design standards for more types of residential and mixed-use <br />development, beyond high-density housing projects. <br />The Downtown Design Guidelines, adopted in 2004/amended in 2019, contain guidelines for <br />multi-family zones, the majority of which are subjective. For example, “Multiple-family housing <br />complexes should be designed to follow the rhythm and scale of the surrounding homes.” As <br />application of these guidelines require City discretion, the City may consider refinement so that <br />all critical standards are described objectively to ensure application to housing development <br />projects is consistent with the Housing Accountability Act. The Objective Design Standards project <br />underway would also be applicable to residential projects in the downtown, which will help to <br />address this issue. While the City is developing objective design standards, the City continues to <br />process housing developments in compliance with state law (e.g., Housing Accountability Act, SB <br />330, etc.). <br />Provisions for a Variety of Housing <br />The City has adopted provisions in its Zoning Ordinance that facilitate a range of residential <br />development types. Table C-6 provides a list of housing types and the zoning districts in which <br />they are permitted, require a conditional use permit, or are not permitted. <br /> <br /> <br />1 AB 2923 requires a minimum net density of 75 units per acre on BART TOD sites. See Program 1.3.
