be constructed from the ends of"Court C"and the Lund Ranch Road to provide access to the two estate <br /> lots proposed as part of this project. <br /> The project plans designate the majority of the Lund Ranch property for open space uses. Approximately <br /> 161 acres(83%)of the site would be dedicated for public open space use, while 11.1 acres of the two <br /> estate lots would be undeveloped private open space area. The public open space would be owned by the <br /> City and maintained by either the City of the development's homeowners' association (HOA). <br /> The project also provides access to the public open space with the development of trails that would extend <br /> from the ends of Sunset Creek Lane, Sycamore Creek Way, and the proposed Lund Ranch Road <br /> extension. The trails would generally follow an existing unpaved road from the western side of the <br /> property, cross the site's creek east of the proposed Lund Ranch subdivision, and climb to ridges on the <br /> eastern and northern portions of the subject property. The trails would end at the Foley property on the <br /> eastern edge of the project site and at its boundary with the Bonde Ranch property on the north. The latter <br /> trail terminus is proposed to connect with a trail that crosses the Bonde Ranch property. <br /> The proposed project would be responsible only for trail construction on Lund Ranch property and for a <br /> short trail section(approximately 300 feet)that traverses the City's water reservoir site at the end of <br /> Sycamore Creek Way. The proposed Trail Plan includes the construction of a foot bridge across the site's <br /> creek channel immediately east of the future Lund Ranch Road cul-de-sac. <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW PROCESS <br /> On August 2, 2012,the City published a Notice of Preparation (NOP) for the Draft EIR (see DEIR, <br /> Appendix A),thereby notifying responsible agencies,trustee agencies, adjacent local agencies, <br /> transportation planning agencies, the public,and other interested parties of the scoping period and giving <br /> them the opportunity to transmit their concerns and comments on the scope and content of the Draft EIR. <br /> On July 15, 2014,the City published the Draft EIR for the Lund Ranch II Project, commencing a 45-day <br /> public review period that ended on September 2, 2014. <br /> On January 12, 2015, the City issued the proposed Final EIR for consideration by the City's Planning <br /> Commission and, subsequently, by the City Council. <br /> FINDINGS OF FACT <br /> The Pleasanton City Council has reviewed the Final EIR for the Lund Ranch II(PUD 25) Residential <br /> Development Project and has considered the public record for the project.
