Housing Constraints City of Pleasanton | C-39 production of below-market rate housing. ADUs are also subject to reduced fees, in accordance with state law requirements. Additionally, from 2015 through 2020, permits were issued for a total of 1,310 above moderate units, 45 moderate income units, 78 low-income units, and 230 very low-income units. Therefore, the City’s fees are not considered to be a constraint to housing development. As previously described, the City’s impact fees are lower or comparable to neighboring jurisdictions (Table C-11); however, establishing fees on a per square foot basis could encourage production of smaller and more affordable units. Under Program 2.3, the City will evaluate and change impact fees for residential uses to be applied on a per-square-foot basis (Program 2.3). C.2.5 On and Off-site Improvements New development is required to provide public improvements to serve its new residents. The City has adopted engineering and design standards to inform developers of how these improvements should be constructed. Public improvement obligations include providing streets, curb, gutter, sidewalks, storm drainage, sewer connections, water connections, fire department access, street lights, and clean water-runoff measures. Required street right-of-way widths are based on street classification and range from 30 feet (alley) to 120 feet (parkway) (Municipal Code 19.36.040). While these types of requirements result in additional development costs, these improvements provide the necessary facilities and services for a safe and quality living environment, and the City offers reductions in these standards when appropriate (e.g., reduced street widths for areas with steep slopes). Development located in infill areas (e.g., downtown) typically only require the construction of water and sewer laterals necessary to serve the project as street and other improvements are already in place. Additionally, City infrastructure improvements are scheduled within the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to implement street, sewer, storm drain, and other improvements citywide. CIP projects are funded through various sources, including grants. Development located in some peripheral areas of the City may require additional improvements as infrastructure may not otherwise exist or be planned through the CIP (e.g., streets, curb, gutter, sidewalks, etc.). These may include off-site circulation improvements to address any potential exceedance of the City’s traffic level of service (LOS) standards. The City generally requires developers of major projects to limit traffic volumes to LOS D or better, except in the downtown and gateway intersections. Through the CIP, the City continues to construct circulation and other improvements that reduces the financial burden of on and off-site improvements on housing development. Furthermore, in cases where off-site improvements are necessary, the City will require reimbursement agreements or other mechanisms to reimburse the developer for the cost of these off-site improvements (e.g., assessment districts, specific plan finance agreements, etc.). The City will typically contribute towards the cost of any required public improvements for affordable housing developments through its Lower Income Housing Fund. Therefore, the City’s on and off- site improvement requirements are not considered regulatory barriers to affordable housing.
