2005 Plea santon Plan 2025 2.0 Land Use Element Growth Managem ent Program 2+2 .3 : Ridgelines and hillsides shall be protected. Housing units and structures shall not be placed on slopes of 25 percent or greater, or within 100 vertical feet of a ridgeline. No grading to construct residential or commercial structures shall occur on hillside slopes 25 percent or greater, or within 100 vertical feet of a ridgeline. Exempt from this policy are housing developments of 10 or fewer housing units on a single property. Splitting dividing, or subdividing a "legal parcel" to approve more than 10 housing units is not allowed (M_easure PP, Nov. 2008). Goal 3: Develop in an efficient, logical, and orderly fashion. Policy ~23: Adopted 07 21 09 Maintain a permanent Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) beyond which urban development shall not be permitted. Program ~23 .1: Program ~23 .2: Program ~23 .3: Program ~23 .4: Permit only non-urban uses beyond the Urban Growth Boundary. Extend urban services only to areas within the Urban Growth Boundary, with the following possible exceptions for selected urban services: (1 ) areas beyond the boundary where the public health and safety present overriding considerations; (2) as to water service, areas which are within the boundaries of the former Pleasanton County Township Water District and where the service extension is consistent with the 1967 Joint Powers Agreement between the City and the District; (3 ) on reclaimed land which is currently designated as Sand and Gravel Harvesting in East Pleasanton when the potential future use is non -urban . Because the Urban Growth Boundary is considered to be permanent, future adjustments to the boundary line location are discouraged; provided, however, minor adjustments may be granted that meet all of the following criteria: (1) are otherwise consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan; (2) would not have a significant adverse impact on agriculture, wildland areas, or scenic ridgeline views; (3) are contiguous with existing urban development or with property for which all discretionary approvals for urban development have been granted; (4) would not induce further adjustments to the boundary; and (5 ) demonstrate that the full range of urban public facilities and services will be adequately provided in an efficient and timely manner. Encourage lower intensity uses immediately inside the Urban Growth Boundary, as necessary, to prevent potential land use conflicts with outlying non-urban uses . 2-39
