2005 Pleasanton Plan 2025 <br />Urban Growth Boundary <br />T h e General Plan Map designates an Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) <br />line around the edge of land planned for urban development at <br />General Plan buildout. Pleasanton voters ratified the Urban Growth <br />Boundary in 1996. T h e line distinguishes areas generally suitable for <br />urban d evelopment w h ere urban public faci li ties and services are <br />provid ed from th ose areas n ot suitable for urban development. Areas <br />outside the Urban Growth Boundary are generally suitable for the <br />long-term protection of natural resources, large -lot agriculture and <br />grazing, parks and recreation, public health and safety, subregionall y <br />significant wildlands, buffers between communities, and scenic <br />ridgelin e v iews. The Urban Growth Boundary is intended to <br />permanently define the lin e beyond which urban development will not <br />occur, alth ough the initiative a lso d escrib ed some circumstance under <br />which the Urban Growth Boundary could be adju sted. <br />Note that o n e existing development is located outsid e of the Urban <br />Growth Boundary: th e Little Vall ey Road neighborhood in A lamed a <br />County's jurisdiction south of Pleasanton . This area is designated as <br />Rural Density Residential. Because this neighborhood is an existing <br />partially developed area, the General Plan all ows five -acre minimum <br />p arcel sizes without the provision of stand ard urban water an d sewer <br />service, subject to public health and safety considerations . <br />Hillside homes <br />Adopted 07 21 09: Am ended 10 19 10 2-15 <br />2.0 Land Use Element <br />In November 2000, the voters of A lameda County approved an <br />Urban Growth Boundary (Measure D) which is co-terminus with the <br />city's Urban Growth Boundary in P leasanton and also includes th e <br />Cities of L ivermore and Dublin. <br />TABLE 2-3: GENERAL PLAN DENSITIES <br />Land Use Designation Allowable Average Density u sed <br />Density for Holding Capacity <br />Range <br />Rural-Density Residential 0 -0 .2 du/acre 0.2 du/acre <br />Low-Density Residential 0-2 du/acre 1.0 du/acre <br />Medium-Density Residential 2 -8 du/acre 5 .0 du/acre <br />High-Density Residential 8+ du/acre 15.0 du/acre <br />Housing Element Sites Overlay: See footnote-• Not At212licabl e• <br />Mixed-Use : Residential 20+ du/acre •!2 Not Applicable_-"12 <br />Commercial 0 -150% FAR <br />Mixed Use/Business Park See footno tec, See footnot ec, <br />Commercial/Office 0-60% FAR llQ 35% FAR <br />General & Limited Industrial 0-50% FAR 31 %FAR <br />Business Park 0-60 % FAR 32% FAR <br />Sand and Gravel Harvesting Not Applicable Not applicable <br />Notes: du = dwe llin g u ni t(s), FAR = Floor area ratio <br />a Sirr-sprs:dir ~k11s111rs sbdll !:u: as sp1.a,,;1b!.,'.U m 1br adopt!.;d ?(l?l -?OJ I (11b < ·yck I 1"01.1siov <br />1'.lcmcnt. <br />~This will be b ased on a planned unit de,·clopment O'UD) or Specific Plan , as either m ay be <br />am e nded from time to time , subj ect to the 150 percent maximum FAR. ,\ mmimum dcns1[)· of <br />ZS duL~~rc anQ f,';\I{ tu 1~1;rCJ111n1<JCb !~ a( k:ast fi\f.' s1ori~s 1s p~:rmll[~d on :\B "92', tlivibk <br />propcrti1,;s (i.,·. 1hosc o\\'nc,I I,) fl \tr!). <br />C Projects may use the Mixed Use l•/\1{ and d e n sity ranges only if they include use s <br />that arc authorized b r the Mixed U sc land designa tion ;ind as cktc:nnmc<l b)' the <br />associated l'l]l) :t.nnmy or specific p lan .
