Program P.R.6-1: Amend the applicable exhibits in the <br />General Plan, such as Figure V-3, to include all of the <br />Pleasanton Ridgelands in order to ensure compliance with <br />General Plan policies prior to approval of a development plan <br /> <br />Policy P.R.7: <br /> <br />Encourage the incorporation of as many park and quasi-public <br />uses in the development plan for the Development Zone as is <br />economically feasible. If such facilities are not actually <br />developed in conjunction with the approved project, sufficient <br />land should be set aside to allow such uses in the future. <br /> <br />Program P.R.7-1: Use the locational and size criteria <br />contained in Tables P.R. 2 and 3 to establish appropriate sites for <br />such uses when reviewing development plans in the <br />Development Zone. <br /> <br />Buffer Zone Policies <br />The Buffer Zone consists of about 3,488 acres of land concentrated in the northern and <br />eastern portions of the Pleasanton Ridgelands. The goal of the Buffer Zone is to <br />permanently retain the present visual character of these ridgeland areas while increasing <br />public access to this open space for trail/park uses. Development, therefore, is discouraged <br />except as necessary to allow a fallback development option should the density transfer <br />program fail to fairly compensate these property owners for their land. Any development in <br />the Buffer Zone not essentially an open space use must meet stringent standards to ensure the <br />goals of the Pleasanton Ridgelands Plan are not compromised. Much of the Buffer Zone is <br />earmarked in the plan for regionally-oriented open space park and ~ uses. <br /> <br />Policy P.R.8: <br /> <br />Uses in the Buffer Zone before and after transfer of <br />development rights shall be as follows: <br />a. If no transfer of development rights has occurred: <br /> 1. residential uses, limited to single-family, detached <br /> units clustered at densities less than three units <br /> per acre in the area developed; residential units <br /> allowed on any existing lot shall be limited to the <br /> number allowed to be developed on-site by the <br /> Density Transfer Program; <br /> i. Property owners electing the fall-back <br /> development option shall be required to <br /> offer to grant to the City an easement (or <br /> fee at City option) for access over and use <br /> of the open space not actually used for <br /> development. <br /> <br />Page 4 <br /> <br /> <br />
