Pleasanton Gateway— Environmental Checklist • Goal 2: Achieve and maintain a complete, well- rounded community of desirable neighborhoods, a strong employment base, and a variety of community facilities. • Policy 15: Encourage industrial, commercial, and office development which is compatible with the environmental constraints in Pleasanton. Design guidelines and standards for the Gateway property are described below. Bernal Property Specific Plan The Bernal Property Specific PIan land use diagram and text designates the Pleasanton Gateway property for up to 745,000 square feet of retail, commercial, office, and community - serving uses. The land use /design goal of the Specific Plan is that the individual developments should work together visually and physically as an integrated whole. To implement this goal, the Specific PIan defined design guidelines directed to the development of this site with Commercial /Office Policies 1 through 6 and Guidelines 1.1 to 1.5, 2.1 and 2.2, and 6.1 and 6.2. A summary of the design guidelines follows: • The overall design should result in a pedestrian - friendly activity place. • The development should create a community focal point and gathering place. • The buildings along Bernal Avenue and Valley Avenue should be located so that the majority of their frontage directly faces the public street. • The parking spaces along Bernal Avenue and Valley Avenue should be located to the side or rear of the buildings. • Street trees should be provided along driveways, drive aisles, and pedestrian connections. • The development should encourage the reduction of vehicle trips by fostering pedestrian access through its integration with residential uses. • The development should provide convenient pedestrian routes to adjacent residential areas encouraging residents to walk, rather than drive, to the stores and offices. Zoning The Pleasanton Gateway property is zoned PUD — C (Planned Unit Development — Commercial) District in conjunction with the Bernal Property PUD (Ordinance No. 1814, adopted by the City Council on August 28, 2000).
