State and Federal Legislative Activities Work proactively with the League of California Cities and local communities to monitor legislation that may impact the City financially, and lobby for funding of Federal, State, and County- mandated programs and projects. Update City Council Procedures Handbook Review and evaluation of various procedures to address public meeting efficiencies. Parking restrictions for recreational vehicles Consideration of an amendment to the Pleasanton Municipal Code updating the off street parking restrictions for recreational vehicle storage criteria within residential yard areas. The Pleasanton Municipal Code (PMC) does not provide specific restrictive language for oversized recreational vehicles. Recreational vehicles have dramatically changed in size from when the code was adopted and the code did not consider that these vehicles could be so large as to potentially create a visual nuisance. Develop standards for Sports Courts Consideration of an amendment to the Pleasanton Municipal Code to establish development standards for sports courts. The current Pleasanton Municipal Code does not provide development standards, a review process, or permitting process for sports courts.
