Policy 25: To encourage development in locations which would complete partially installed utility and facility systems or which would install portions of planned major utility and facility systems. Many of the necessary utility/facility systems require city installa- tion. These capital improvements are typically off-site portions of systems, not attributable to any one development. The city has com- piled a capital improvement schedule by which it plans to complete these major improvements (see the Fiscal Impact Analysis of the General Plan). The steady, determined provision of these improvements coordin- ated with new growth would go far to ensure that the quality of life in Pleasanton remains high. Policy 26: To coordinate future capital expenditure decisions with the long-range capital improvement schedule and newly developing areas. As new development occurs a burden is imposed upon existing public facilities - such as roads, water lines, parks, etc. While most public facilities are used by the public in general, the imposition of new, additional demands upon existing facilities by development has been recognized as a legitimate basis to require the construction or financing of capital improvements by the new development. While it is sometimes difficult to identify with complete certainty the increased burden on public facilities, especially .streets, caused by _ every new development, if the nexus between the new development Gild the burden on and need for improvement to the impacted public facility exists then the new development should help defray the additional. costs incurred. Policy 27: To have new residential development bear an appro- priate share of the cost of providing riew capital im- provements. -17-
