B9. Compatibility with Surrounding Development <br /> Objective Design Standards for Housing Sites <br /> Development Guidelines <br /> All Housing Site Development <br /> While the density restrictions and Design Standards on the sites ensure a baseline compatibility with <br /> surrounding development,the City desires the implementation of new development compatible with <br /> directly adjacent residential neighborhoods and surrounding non-residential buildings. The following <br /> strategies should be used to increase compatibility between proposed development and existing built <br /> form. <br /> a. Providing setbacks that match adjacent properties. <br /> b. Providing enhanced landscaping including a variety of trees and shrubs. <br /> c. Including an increased setback for floors above the adjacent lower height residential developments to <br /> reduce visual perception of height. <br /> d. Locating taller buildings in the center of the site or at arterial intersections and locating shorter and <br /> less dense development types adjacent to existing residential development. <br /> City of Pleasanton -Appendix Page 45- DRAFT: December 14, 2022 <br />
