5 <br />requirements intended through the policy, based on compliance with State law. For <br />example, a local policy to allow for streamlined review, like that available under SB 330, <br />may not reflect a significant policy shift for Pleasanton since virtually every eligible <br />residential project is making use of these provisions. <br />Housing Preservation <br />Compliance with this policy is likely achievable since the City already has a Condominium <br />Conversion Ordinance (one of the identified policy options), and adopting a policy to <br />preserve existing Mobile Home Parks is in line with Housing Element goals and programs. <br />However, revisions may be needed to fully comply with the TOC policy. <br />Affordable Housing Protection <br />Similar to the above categories, the City is already undertaking some of the programs <br />identified among the menu of options – for example, Mobile Home Rent Stabilization <br />(although amendments may be needed to comply with the TOC Policy fully) and provides <br />funding for programs such as Fair Housing assistance, although potentially not at the <br />levels required by the policy. It would be a policy decision of the City Council as to whether <br />to consider any of the more far-reaching tenant protections, such as the adoption of a “just <br />cause” eviction ordinance or mandating relocation assistance be provided to tenants by <br />landlords, which has not been a policy priority for the City in the past. <br />Commercial Stabilization Policies <br />Given that Hacienda tends to house larger corporations and businesses, it may be <br />possible to demonstrate the lack of necessity to comply with this aspect of the TOC policy. <br />However, City Council consideration could be given to adopting at least one of the policies <br />identified to ensure those businesses were protected from displacement. <br />3. Parking Management <br />The TOC Policy requires the City’s compliance with parking standards for new residential <br />or general- and neighborhood-serving commercial development (e.g., office, retail, and <br />service business), and secondly, requires one or more policies or programs for parking <br />management. The required parking standards for the BART and ACE stations are <br />summarized in Table 3. <br />Table 3: TOC Policy Parking Standards <br />Transit Service <br />Station <br />New Residential <br />Development <br />New Commercial <br />Development <br />Two BART Stations <br />(Tier 3) <br />Parking minimums are <br />not allowed. <br />Parking maximum of <br />1.0 spaces per unit or <br />lower. <br />At least one secured <br />bicycle parking space <br />per dwelling unit. <br />Parking minimums are <br />not allowed. <br />Parking maximum of <br />2.5 spaces per 1,000 <br />square feet or lower. <br />At least one secure <br />bicycle parking space <br />per 5,000 occupied <br />Page 152 of 682
