Pleasanton’s New Look in 2025 – What’s Your Opinion

What will 2025 look like for residents of Pleasanton? For one, probably no more new housing built as we approach the voter approver 29,000 Pleasanton Housing Cap. Side note, if you want to develop some land into housing, you might want to do it sooner than later since there are only a few thousand units left before the Pleasanton housing cap it met.

Update: Save Pleasanton’s Hills & Housing Cap Initiative

At the Pleasanton City Council meeting on July 15 @ 7:00 the council will meet to discuss adopting two resolutions.

City Council Agenda 7-15-08

More than 5,000 Pleasanton residents signed a petition asking the Pleasanton City Council to place an initiative on the ballot which would limit development on Pleasanton hillsides. Some of what is asked for is.

• Limiting development on hillsides with grades greater than 25% within 100 feet of a ridgeline
• Stricter definition of ‘housing unit’ increasing the current number of residential units in Pleasanton

Supporters are looking for an ordinance that would stop developments like Oak Grove in Pleasanton which is a 51 lot custom home development on 496 acres in the southeast hills of Pleasanton.
