Pleasanton Gateway— Environmental Checklist residential neighborhoods that will reduce cross -town trips. Therefore, this would be considered no impact. b) The subject property is designated by the Bernal Property Specific Plan and, therefore, by the 2005 — 2025 Pleasanton General Plan Land Use Map' for 745,000 square feet of neighborhood and freeway- oriented commercial uses and services described by the City's 0 (Office), C -C and C -N (Neighborhood Commercial and Central Commercial), and IP (Industrial Park) districts. The proposal is consistent with the Specific Plan and with the 2005 — 2025 Pleasanton General Plan' for this development in that it is: consistent with the General Plan' Land Map; contributes to a complete, well- rounded community of desirable neighborhoods and a strong employment with a variety of community facilities; and encourage industrial, commercial, and office development which is compatible with the environmental constraints in Pleasanton. The Bernal Property Specific Plan does not define the maximum /midpoint FAR for the Pleasanton Gateway property. For comparison, the Retail /Highway/ Service Commercial, Business, and Professional Offices land use designation of the 2005 — 2025 Pleasanton General Plan' states a maximum /midpoint FAR of 60 percent and 35 percent, respectively. The proposed Floor Area Ratio will be 41.7 percent for the overall development, and the commercial and office Floor Area Ratios will be, respectively, 22.9 percent and 50.5 percent consistent with the General Plan. The proposed project is designed with pedestrian pathways and linkages to the residential uses across Bernal Avenue to the east, and to the Bernal Community Park to the south, which successfully implements the amenity requirement of the 2005 — 2025 Pleasanton General Plan'. Therefore, this would be considered no- impact. c) The proposal will not conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan. Therefore, this would be considered no- impact. 10. MINERAL RESOURCES Environmental Setting The subject site has not been identified to have mineral resource deposits.
