Earlier in <br />2020, the City Council provided direction for staff to proceed with development of the <br />East Pleasanton Specific Plan, with a "blank slate" approach as to potential future land <br />uses. <br />General Plan Land Use Designations <br />The three properties that are the subject of this report are not specifically discussed in <br />the Pleasanton General Plan (they are all located outside Pleasanton's Planning Area), <br />but the General Plan does acknowledge that the quarry land between city limits of <br />Pleasanton and Livermore provides a valuable separator between the two cities.8 <br />Table 2 summarizes the Pleasanton, Livermore, and Alameda County land use <br />designations for the three parcels. <br />TABLE 2: GENERAL PLAN LAND USE DESIGNATIONS <br />SMP -38 SMP -39 SMP -40 <br />Pleasanton No General Plan land use designation <br />(all three sites are outside Planning Area as defined by the General <br />Plan) <br />Livermore Limited Agriculture, Parks, Trailways, Parks, Trailways, <br />Parks, Trailways, Recreation Areas, Recreation Areas, <br />Recreation Areas, and Sand and Gravel and Sand and Gravel <br />and Sand and Gravel <br />Alameda County (East All three sites are designated Industrial' <br />County Area Plan) <br />Surface Mining Permits <br />Much of the area lying between Pleasanton and Livermore has been, and continues to <br />be, mined and processed for aggregates such as gravel.

The General Plan also directs that the quarry land within the East <br />Pleasanton Specific Plan area be carefully studied and evaluated as part of the specific plan process and that its <br />qualities as an urban separator be substantially protected. <br />9 The Alameda East County Area Plan indicates that the Industrial land use designation has a maximum floor - <br />area -ratio of 40% and includes "General and Light Industrial" uses. <br />Page 6 of 10 <br />
