Obiective Design Standards for Housing Sites A2. BUILDING ORIENTATION The intent of building orientation standards is to locate active building frontages with entries,active storefronts,and living spaces along streets,pedestrian paseos, and common open spaces,to provide activity,safety and security through informal surveillance("eyes on the street")in these areas. Design Standards Multifamily Development A2.1 For sites ranging from one half acre to three acres(see Diagram A,following page): a. A minimum of 75 percent of the site frontage along Public Streets,Paseos,and Open Spaces shall be lined with building frontage. b. Mid-block access shall be provided by means of Paseos,driveway, Internal Street or Alley, such that each building frontage shall cumulatively equal or exceed 75 percent of the remaining site frontage. A2.2 For sites ranging from three to seven acres(see Diagram B,following page): a. Mid-block access shall be provided for each site dimension along Public Streets, Paseos,and Open Spaces,by means of Paseos,driveway, Internal Street or Alley,such that each continuous site dimension is less than 400 feet. b. A minimum of 75 percent of the site dimension along Public Streets, Paseos,and Open Spaces shall be lined with building frontage. c. If only one building is located along a site dimension,its building frontage shall equal or exceed 75 percent of that site dimension. If multiple buildings are located along a site dimension,building frontages shall cumulatively equal or exceed 75 percent of that continuous site dimension. A2.3 For sites larger than seven acres(see Diagram C,following page): a. Mid-block access by means of Paseos,driveways, Internal Streets or Alleys,common open spaces,and centralized publicly accessible open spaces shall be provided for each site dimension along Public Streets,Paseos,and Open Spaces such that each continuous site dimension is no greater than 400 feet. b. A minimum of 75 percent of the site dimension along Public Streets,Paseos,and Open Spaces shall be lined with any combination of building frontage and designated Open Space. A2.4 A minimum of 75 percent of the total combined number of building and unit entrances shall face onto Public Streets, Internal Streets,Paseos,or Open Spaces. A2.5 75 percent of the length of each building frontage located on Public Streets, Internal Streets, Paseos,and Open Spaces shall incorporate at least one of the following: a. Residential Uses with a minimum depth of 12 feet. b. Where permitted by zoning,mixed-uses with ground floor commercial development with a minimum depth of 50 feet. c. Where permitted by zoning,Live/work Uses with a minimum depth of 25 feet. A2.6 Building corners shall be activated with residential,live/work,or mixed-use commercial uses; garages,parking entries,and utility rooms shall be prohibited on building ends facing Public Streets and active open spaces. A2.7 Site plans shall comply with the dimensional standards illustrated in the following Site Circulation and Building Orientation diagrams. City of Pleasanton -24- Adopted January 26, 2023
