<br />Housing Constraints City of Pleasanton | C-37 <br />production of below-market rate housing. ADUs are also subject to reduced fees, in accordance <br />with state law requirements. <br />As previously described, the City’s impact fees are lower or comparable to neighboring <br />jurisdictions (Table C-11); however, establishing fees on a per square foot basis could encourage <br />production of smaller and more affordable units. Under Program 2.3, the City will evaluate and <br />change impact fees for residential uses to be applied on a per-square-foot basis (Program 2.3). <br />C.2.5 On and Off-site Improvements <br />New development is required to provide public improvements to serve its new residents. The City <br />has adopted engineering and design standards to inform developers of how these improvements <br />should be constructed. Public improvement obligations include providing streets, curb, gutter, <br />sidewalks, storm drainage, sewer connections, water connections, fire department access, street <br />lights, and clean water-runoff measures. Required street right-of-way widths are based on street <br />classification and range from 30 feet (alley) to 120 feet (parkway) (Municipal Code 19.36.040). <br />While these types of requirements result in additional development costs, these improvements <br />provide the necessary facilities and services for a safe and quality living environment, and the <br />City offers reductions in these standards when appropriate (e.g., reduced street widths for areas <br />with steep slopes). <br />Development located in infill areas (e.g., downtown) typically only require the construction of water <br />and sewer laterals necessary to serve the project as street and other improvements are already <br />in place. Additionally, City infrastructure improvements are scheduled within the City’s Capital <br />Improvement Program (CIP) to implement street, sewer, storm drain, and other improvements <br />citywide. CIP projects are funded through various sources, including grants. Development located <br />in some peripheral areas of the City may require additional improvements as infrastructure may <br />not otherwise exist or be planned through the CIP (e.g., streets, curb, gutter, sidewalks, etc.). <br />These may include off-site circulation improvements to address any potential exceedance of the <br />City’s traffic level of service (LOS) standards. The City generally requires developers of major <br />projects to limit traffic volumes to LOS D or better, except in the downtown and gateway <br />intersections. Through the CIP, the City continues to construct circulation and other improvements <br />that reduces the financial burden of on and off-site improvements on housing development. <br />Furthermore, in cases where off-site improvements are necessary, the City will require <br />reimbursement agreements or other mechanisms to reimburse the developer for the cost of these <br />off-site improvements (e.g., assessment districts, specific plan finance agreements, etc.). The <br />City will typically contribute towards the cost of any required public improvements for affordable <br />housing developments through its Lower Income Housing Fund. Therefore, the City’s on and off- <br />site improvement requirements are not considered regulatory barriers to affordable housing. <br />
