<br />B-10 | City of Pleasanton Sites Inventory and Methodology <br />Table B-6 summarizes assumptions for realistic residential development capacity considering <br />development trends in Pleasanton and neighboring jurisdictions. While low and medium- <br />density residential projects in Pleasanton have largely been built at the mid-point densities, <br />some projects have higher densities. For example, two completed infill projects that exceeded <br />mid-point density of 15 units per acre are 4722 Harrison Street (17 units per acre) and 4745 <br />Augustine Street (23 units per acre). Additionally, the 4884 Harrison Street project, located in <br />the Downtown MU-T Zone and approved under SB 35 streamlined review in September 2022, <br />has a density of 125 units per acre achieved through density bonus and concessions. All 46 <br />units in the 4884 Harrison Street project will be affordable to lower income households. <br />Higher density projects have been built at densities of approximately 30 dwelling units per acre <br />consistent with PUD zoning and/or approvals, and the maximum densities assigned to these <br />sites (see Table B-5). Recently approved and constructed housing developments in the <br />neighboring city of Dublin include densities ranging from 56 to 93 units per acre, located in <br />planned development (PD) and downtown zones1. Another neighboring city, Livermore, has a <br />222-unit project (Legacy Livermore) under construction in the downtown, which is being built <br />at the maximum allowed density of 55 units per acre. <br />Although there are a number of instances of properties in Pleasanton developing above the <br />mid-point density, and development trends in the area show higher density development, the <br />analysis conservatively assumed sites would develop at no greater than the mid-point density <br />or minimum density (see Table B-6). For the new zones in the Downtown Specific Plan where <br />recent development trends are not yet established, conservative assumptions of 40 to 60 <br />percent of maximum allowed density were assumed based on whether the site is nonvacant <br />or vacant consistent with the Downtown Specific Plan EIR. <br />Realistic capacity projections for mixed-use zones (i.e., MU-T, C-C, and PUD-MU) reflect the <br />likelihood for residential development considering that 100 percent nonresidential uses may be <br />established in these zones. Specifically, the MU-T and C-C-zoned sites are projected at lower <br />capacities and densities (40 to 60 percent; 17 to 21 units per acre) than development trends <br />over the current planning period and in neighboring cities. Since 2015, only one new <br />construction project has been proposed as 100 percent commercial in the C-C Zone (14 <br />percent of applications for new construction in the C-C Zones since 2015); all other projects <br />have proposed residential or residential mixed-use development with a small commercial <br />component. Recently completed projects within the Downtown’s mixed-use districts include <br />mixed use projects at 273 Spring Street (13 units per acre) and 719-735 Peters Avenue/377 <br />St. Mary St. (20 units per acre). Furthermore, the 4884 Harrison Street project, located in the <br /> <br /> <br />1 Recent housing developments in Dublin include Camellia Place (PD Zone, 112 units, 56 units/acre); Avalon West <br />(DDZD/TOD Zone, 499 units, 66 units per acre); and Ashton at Dublin Station (PD Zone, 220 units, 93 units/acre) <br />(City of Dublin, 2021).
