Future development of a single use on a site is consistent with the Mixed-Use designation if such a use is approved as part of a PUD.70 As described in Section 2.2, Location and Setting, the City’s Housing Site Development Standards and Design Guidelines (Design Guidelines)71 outline permitted density, height, and uses as well as parking requirements and development standards for roadways, circulation, building orientation, landscaping, lighting, and architectural features for PUD districts. The proposed project would comply with most of the standards described in the Design Guidelines. The proposed project would be reviewed by the City through the PUD process, which includes review for compliance with Design Guidelines, recommendation by the Planning Commission, and design approval by the City Council at noticed public hearings. The City can grant exceptions to the application of Design Guidelines where proposed projects meet the intent and purpose of the Design Guidelines.72 As described above, the Prior EIR envisioned up to 400 units on Site 3, which incorporates the 6-acre project site. The proposed project proposes 360 units and, therefore, is within the number of units envisioned at the project site. The Mixed-Use designation currently allows for a maximum residential unit density of 40 units per acre. The proposed project would exceed this density, with a proposed density of 60 units per acre. However, the proposed project would develop under the Density Bonus Law (Government Code 65915), which allows for measured increases in density beyond the allowed limits for development of affordable housing units.73 Because at least 24 percent of the units 74 in the proposed project would be deed-restricted for low-income households, in accordance with Government Code 65915, the proposed project includes a 50 percent density bonus over the 6-acre site, resulting in 360 units (60 units/acre). Additionally, the proposed project includes waivers for certain aspects of the Design Guidelines that physically preclude the construction of the development given its density bonus, such as the height limit of 5 stories. The proposed project would construct up to a 6-story building and would therefore request the waiver in order to accommodate the project’s density. In summary, the proposed project has been designed to be consistent with existing General Plan and Zoning Designations, including the Design Guidelines. Standards not followed within these documents would be permitted under the Density Bonus Law. Therefore, impacts would continue to be less than significant, and no mitigation is necessary, consistent with the Prior EIR. There are no proposed changes, new circumstances, or new information that would cause new or more severe impacts. 70 City of Pleasanton. 2019. Pleasanton Plan 2005-1025. 2.
