Draft 2.0 Land Use Element <br />infrastructure required to support development. <br />GROWTH MANAGEMENT <br />The orderly,~rowth and development of the city together with the preservation of an open-space <br />frame has been a highh priority for the Pleasanton community. The City has used several tools to attain <br />this goal including the adoption of an Urban Growth Boundary, a Growth Management Program, and <br />a cap on residential development. <br />Urban Growth Boundary <br />The General Plan Map designates an Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) line around the edge of land <br />planned for urban development at General Plan buildout. Pleasanton voters ratified the Urban <br />Growth Boundary in 1996. The line distinguishes areas generally suitable for urban development and <br />tk where urban public facilities and services axe provided from those areas not suitable <br />for urban development. aAreas outside the Urban Growth Boundary are generally suitable for the <br />long-term protection of natural resources, large=lot agriculture and grazing, parks and recreation, public <br />health and safety, subregionally significant wildlands, buffers between communities, and scenic <br />ridgeline views. The Urban Growth BoundarvF~ is intended to be-permanentl~~l-te define the line <br />beyond which urban development will not occur, although the initiative also described some <br />circumstance under which the Urban Growth Boundary could be adjusted.
