2005 Pleasanton Plan 2025 2.0 Land Use Element <br />2-17 Adopted 07 21 09 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />If all commercial, office, industrial, and other employment-generating <br />land were built out (including assumptions for East Pleasanton), <br />Pleasanton would contain approximately 35 million square feet of <br />building floor area, enough to support about 97,000 jobs. Without <br />counting potential development in the East Pleasanton Specific Plan <br />area this figure would be about 86,000 jobs. This holding capacity <br />estimate assumes that employment generating uses are built at <br />average densities (Table 2-3, above), vacancy rates average seven <br />percent, and employment densities will approximate current levels <br />(Table 2-4, below). ABAG Projections 2007 estimates a somewhat <br />lower number of jobs with 76,020 in 2025 and 81,270 jobs in 2035. <br /> <br /> <br />TABLE 2-4: EMPLOYEE DENSITY STANDARDS <br /> <br />Workplace Type Average Square Foot <br />Per Employee <br />Office 300 <br />Research & Development 340 <br />Light Manufacturing 435 <br />Warehouse/Service Industrial 560 <br />Service Commercial 625 <br />Retail 510 <br />Restaurant 170 <br />Hotel/Motel 1,370 <br />Source: ITE (Institute of Transportation Engineers) Trip Generation Manual, 7th Edition <br />rates, adjusted for Pleasanton. <br /> <br />Table 2-5 summarizes the number of acres of each land use <br />designated within the Pleasanton Planning Area. <br />TABLE 2-5: GENERAL PLAN ACREAGE <br />General Plan Category General Plan Acreage <br />Residential <br />Rural Density 1,741 <br />Low Density – 1 dwelling unit per 2 gross acres 276 <br />Low Density – less than 2 dwelling units per acre 2,883 <br />Medium Density 3,505 <br />High Density 701 <br />Mixed Use 778 <br />Industrial/Commercial/Office <br />Commercial and Office 769 <br />General and Limited Industrial 305 <br />Business Park 415 <br />Sand and Gravel Harvesting 1,750 <br />Community Facilities <br />Public and Institutional 609 <br />Schools 250 <br />Open Space <br />Parks and Recreation 6,343 <br />Agriculture and Grazing 10,956 <br />Agriculture & Grazing with Wildlands Overlay 221 <br />Public Health and Safety 2,646 <br />Public Health & Safety with Wildlands Overlay 12,977 <br />Watershed Management and Recreation 604 <br />Staples Ranch Specific Plan (Undeveloped) 124 <br />Total Planning Area 47,853 <br />
