Attachment 2 DRAFT GENERAL PLAN VISION STATEMENT Vision Statement Pleasanton is a well-planned, balanced community with desirable neighborhoods, an award-winning downtown with its small-town character, a diversified economic base, excellent schools, and a wide variety of community facilities. Pleasanton is a great place to live, raise a family, work, and do business. As our city approaches build-out in the next few years, we will strive to maintain these desirable qualities by continuing to develop a safe, convenient, and uncongested circulation system; by providing a comprehensive system of bicycle and pedestrian trails; by providing additional recreational and cultural facilities for the health and well-being of our residents; by strengthening our outreach to business of all sizes; and by preserving our natural resources, including water and air quality, and our community’s environmental sensitivity. We will seek to minimize health and safety hazards. Pleasanton is committed to sustainable community principles and will meet the needs of the current generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Pleasanton will maintain a positive and productive relationship with the Tri-Valley region, working collaboratively to address traffic and land use issues. We will continue to emphasize community participation and model the principles of the “Community of Character” of respect, responsibility, compassion, self-discipline, honesty, and integrity. The City’s future, this vision, will depend upon maintaining a balanced budget, using our financial resources wisely, and continuing to promote Pleasanton as the premier place to live, work, and do business.
