6th Cycle Program 4.2: Develop objective design standards <br />for multi-family and mixed-use development to eliminate <br />subjectivity, consistent with state law including SB 35 and SB <br />330. This effort will evaluate and address subjective <br />standards and findings required for approval in the Zoning <br />Ordinance and the City’s Design Guidelines, including in multi- <br />family and mixed-use districts both within and outside the <br />Downtown. The Housing Site Development Standards and <br />Design Guidelines will also be reviewed, revised, and <br />integrated such that they reflect objective design standards. <br />The purpose of these standards is to expedite the approval <br />process for such projects and support the City in meeting its <br />housing goals, while ensuring projects are attractive, well- <br />designed, and provide adequate amenities and livability for <br />residents. As part of this process, engage with experts in the <br />field, and with property owners and developers to ensure that <br />standards will result in financially and physically feasible <br />projects that can achieve the densities assigned to various <br />properties. <br />Consistency with state law, including SB35 <br />and SB330 By February 2023 Objective Design Standards adopted January 2023: <br />https://weblink.cityofpleasantonca.gov/WebLink/0/doc/304844/Page1.aspx <br />6th Cycle Program 4.3: Suspend enforcement of the Growth <br />Management Program and Ordinance (Pleasanton Municipal <br />Code 17.36) as necessary to comply with state law, <br />specifically the Housing Crisis Act (SB 330). <br />Support the development and rehabilitation <br />of housing affordable to extremely low-, <br />low- and very low-income households and <br />review infrastructure needs. <br />Ongoing <br />The City has suspended enforcement of the Growth Management Program and <br />Ordinance, in accordance with Government Code Section 66300, the Housing Crisis <br />Act. <br />6th Cycle Program 4.4: Develop and update plans and <br />programs to identify and address infrastructure deficiencies, <br />including funding mechanisms for infrastructure <br />improvements necessary to accommodate the planned and <br />projected growth identified in the General Plan and to <br />accommodate the 6th Cycle RHNA.

Conduct a sewer/wastewater capacity <br />analysis to ensure future sewer infrastructure needs, <br />including sewer infrastructure upgrades and facilities to <br />accommodate the 6th Cycle RHNA, and on the basis of that <br />study, identify and prioritize capital improvement projects and <br />funding needs.
