EAST PLEASANTON SPECIFIC PLAN <br /> • Plan area development should generally be a low intensity mix of uses (such as open space, <br /> O park,recreation,trails,a variety of housing types and densities,public and/or private <br /> schools,limited local serving and specialty retail,office and light industrial),arranged <br /> around a central community focus area. <br /> • Development should be part of a balanced,city-wide approach to meeting General Plan <br /> policy guidance and housing goals. <br /> • Land use should take into account school needs,airport noise and flood hazard potential. <br /> D • The relocation of the PGS transfer station and/or the City's Operation Services Center <br /> should be considered,if cost effective. <br /> D <br /> r- OPEN SPACE/SUSTAINABILITY <br /> Open space should serve two primary functions:it should be protected for its habitat and <br /> scenic values;and it should help to meet the recreational needs of the community,including <br /> active and passive recreation and inter-connected trails within a safe environment. <br /> • The use of open space should also be coordinated with East Bay Regional Park District to <br /> optimize park functions. <br /> • A major focus of development should be on sustainability in terms of environmental re- <br /> v, <br /> sources,energy,and economic and fiscal balance. <br /> O <br /> CIRCULATION <br /> • The circulation system should minimize or reduce traffic congestion and noise on the outly- <br /> ing City streets and neighborhoods. <br /> • Sub-neighborhoods should be interconnected with tree-lined streets,bike paths and pedes- <br /> trian trails,with trail linkages to the out-lying lakes,parks,neighborhood:.,schools and the <br /> regional trail system. <br /> • The El Charro Road design should allow for the uninterrupted planning of land uses and <br /> neighborhoods within the Plan area. <br /> IMAGES <br /> City staff and consultants evolved a series of land development images (photos) for use at recent Task Force, <br /> Committee,Commission and Council meetings. These illustrate some of the potential land uses,intensities <br /> and densities that may be appropriate for the EPSP. They are presented on the following pages to give a <br /> sense as to how the ultimate character of the EPSP Area could appear. <br /> 4 CITY OF PLEASANTON <br />
