<br />Housing Constraints City of Pleasanton | C-21 <br />transitional and supportive housing in all residential zones and in all zones allowing residential <br />uses. <br />Lastly, development standards for supportive and transitional housing are applied consistent with <br />state law, and density is calculated as the first six beds being equivalent to one dwelling unit and <br />every three beds thereafter being equivalent to one dwelling unit (Chapter 18.107). <br />Farmworker Housing <br />Employee housing (agricultural) of six or fewer employees is allowed in the A, R-1, and RM zoning <br />districts, consistent with Health and Safety Code §17021.5 that requires employee housing for six <br />or fewer persons to be treated as a single-family structure and residential use. <br />Health and Safety Code §17021.6 requires that employee housing consisting of no more than 36 <br />beds or 12 units or spaces in group quarters designed for use by a single family or household to <br />be treated as an agricultural use. No conditional use permit, zoning variance, or other <br />discretionary zoning clearance can be required that is not required of any other agricultural activity <br />in the same zone. Employee housing (agricultural) consistent with Health and Safety Code <br />§17021.6 is allowed in the A Zoning District and in the R-1 Zoning District with a conditional use <br />permit. A conditional use permit is required for agricultural activity in the R-1 Zoning District; <br />therefore, the zoning requirements are consistent with state law. <br />Single Room Occupancy (SROs) <br />A Single Room Occupancy (SRO) unit is considered a small, affordable housing unit that can <br />serve as an entry point into more stable or long-term housing for people who previously <br />experienced homelessness. SRO units may have shared cooking or bathroom facilities and may <br />be efficiency units as defined in Health and Safety Code §17958.1. The City’s Zoning Ordinance <br />does not specifically identify SRO units as a permitted use, but the City has stated that an SRO <br />application would likely be processed as a multi-family dwelling application. The City will amend <br />the Zoning Ordinance to specifically allow SRO units in at least one zoning district. <br />Manufactured Housing <br />While it is the City’s practice to treat a manufactured home on a foundation as a conventional <br />single-family home consistent with Government Code §65852.3, the Zoning Ordinance does not <br />reflect this practice. Therefore, the City will amend its Zoning Ordinance to clarify compliance with <br />state law (e.g., definition of single-family home or one-family dwelling, etc.). <br />Housing for Persons with Disabilities <br />Persons with disabilities normally have certain housing needs that include accessibility of dwelling <br />units, access to transportation, employment, and commercial services; and alternative living <br />arrangements that include on-site or nearby supportive services. The Lanterman Developmental <br />Disabilities Services Act (Sections 5115 and 5116) of the California Welfare and Institutions Code <br />declares that mentally and physically disabled persons are entitled to live in normal residential <br />surroundings. This classification includes facilities that are licensed by the State of California to
