2023-2031 Housing Element City of Pleasanton | 46 Program 4.2 Develop objective design standards for multi-family and mixed-use development to eliminate subjectivity, consistent with state law including SB 35 and SB 330. This effort will evaluate and address subjective standards and findings required for approval in the Zoning Ordinance and the City’s Design Guidelines, including in multi-family and mixed-use districts both within and outside the Downtown. The Housing Site Development Standards and Design Guidelines will also be reviewed, revised, and integrated such that they reflect objective design standards. The purpose of these standards is to expedite the approval process for such projects and support the City in meeting its housing goals, while ensuring projects are attractive, well-designed, and provide adequate amenities and livability for residents. As part of this process, engage with experts in the field, and with property owners and developers to ensure that standards will result in financially and physically feasible projects that can achieve the densities assigned to various properties. • Responsible Agency: Planning Division • Time Period: February 2023 • Funding Source: Planning Division Budget, Housing Grants Program 4.3 Suspend enforcement of the Growth Management Program and Ordinance (Pleasanton Municipal Code 17.36) as necessary to comply with state law, specifically the Housing Crisis Act (SB 330). • Responsible Agency: Planning Division, City Manager • Time Period: Ongoing • Funding Source: Planning Division Budget Program 4.4 Develop and update plans and programs to identify and address infrastructure deficiencies, including funding mechanisms for infrastructure improvements necessary to accommodate the planned and projected growth identified in the General Plan and to accommodate the 6th Cycle RHNA.
