6th Cycle Program 5.6: Implement the following amendments <br />to Title 18 of the Pleasanton Municipal Code, Zoning, to <br />remove governmental constraints and facilitate special needs <br />housing: 1. Explicitly allow for Single Room Occupancy units <br />(SROs) to facilitate the provision of affordable housing for <br />lower-income individuals, including seniors, persons with <br />disabilities, and extremely low-income persons. 2. Allow <br />residential care facilities (sometimes called group homes) with <br />six or fewer residents as a residential use and subject to the <br />same development standards as a single-family dwelling. No <br />conditional use permit, zoning variance, or other zoning <br />clearance will be required of a residential facility that serves <br />six or fewer persons that is not required of a family dwelling of <br />the same type in the same zone. Also, allow residential care <br />facilities with seven or more residents in all residential zones <br />subject to a determination that such uses will conform to City <br />noise, parking, and similar standards such that these larger <br />facilities do not negatively impact neighborhoods, but are <br />reviewed in an objective manner similar to other residential <br />uses (i.e., processed under the same approval process as a <br />large single-family home).
