PUD-136, Mall Residential Project Planning Commission 34 of 34 All previous mitigation measures prescribed by the Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) for the City of Pleasanton Housing Element and Climate Action Plan General Plan Amendment and Rezonings, as well as implementation of such mitigation measures prescribed by the addendum to this project have been included as conditions of approval for the project. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION The proposed project is consistent with the land use allowed for and zoned at this site, and with the exception of two standards for which waivers have been requested pursuant to State Housing Density Bonus law, would be consistent with all applicable objective standards prescribed in the 2012 Housing Standards and Design Guidelines. Staff believes the proposed site plan and positioning of the buildings are appropriate for the subject property. The applicant has included an adequate amount of usable open space and landscaped areas within the project, as well as areas for circulation and gathering that will improve the connectivity and functionality of the portion of the mall and make better use of an underutilized parking field. Staff finds the building design to be attractive and the architectural style, finish colors, and materials will complement the surrounding development. The project also would provide a significant quantity of affordable rental housing, in addition to adding to the stock of multi-family rental housing more generally, which assists the City in meeting its housing goals.
