not be determined until after mining activities are completed, the Pleasanton General Plan stipulates that the line be re-evaluated at such time as comprehensive land use changes are considered for the reclaimed lands. The eastern UGB south of the quarry lands is coterminous with the Pleasanton/Livermore city limit line as it extends through the Ruby Hill development. The UGB to the south is based upon physical terrain as it extends along the base of the steep hills that enclose the Happy Valley area. It is also situated in nearby hilly locations to accommodate future development which has been permitted by the General Plan for many years. C. Lower densities should be encouraged along the inside edge of the UGB to provide a transition/buffer for preventing potential conflicts with uses immediately beyond the boundary such as agriculture and wildlands. D. In order to implement the UGB, the Land Use Element of the General Plan adopted August 6, 1996 provides Policy 11 and its related programs as follows: · Policy 11: Maintain a permanent Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) beyond which urban development shall not be permitted. · Program 11.1: Permit only non-urban uses beyond the UGB. · Program 11.2: Extend Urban Services only to areas within the UGB, with the following possible exceptions for selected Urban Services: (1) areas beyond the UGB where the public health and safety present overriding considerations; (2) as to water service, areas which are within the boundaries of the former Pleasanton County Township Water District and where the service extension is consistent with the 1967 Joint Powers Agreement between the City and the District; and (3) on reclaimed land which is currently designated as Sand and Gravel Harvesting in East Pleasanton when the potential future use is non-urban. · Program 11.3: Because the UGB is considered to be permanent, future adjustments to the line's location are discouraged; provided, however, minor adjustments may be granted that meet all the following: (1) are otherwise consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan; (2) would not have a significant adverse impact on agriculture, wildland areas, or scenic ridgeline views; (3) are contiguous with existing urban development or with property for which all discretionary approvals for urban development have been granted; (4) would not induce further adjustments to the boundary; and (5) demonstrate (ORD&RES\URBMEAS2.SAM) 2
