Environmental Checklist Recreation Draft Initial Study – Negative Declaration 75 16 Recreation Potentially Significant Impact Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated Less than Significant Impact No Impact Would the project: a. Increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated? □ □ □ ■ b. Include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities which might have an adverse physical effect on the environment? □ □ □ ■ a. Would the project increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated? b. Would the project include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities which might have an adverse physical effect on the environment? Pleasanton is a primarily urbanized community with parks and recreational spaces incorporated throughout the City, including four large recreational open space areas, as shown in Figure 7-4 of the Pleasanton General Plan Conservation and Open Space Element.86 The Pleasanton General Conservation and Open Space Element incorporates goals and policies to protect open space/recreational resources in the City. The CAP 2.0 is a policy document containing programs that are consistent with Pleasanton’s General Plan, including the recreation and open space policies established in the Pleasanton Conservation and Open Space Element. CAP 2.0 Action P13 seeks to increase greenspace and trees within Pleasanton, while Action S9 would reduce wildland fire risks that could result in damage to the City’s recreational open space amenities. Additionally, as described in Section 14, Population and Housing, the CAP 2.0 would not result in substantial population growth or direct land use changes. As such, implementation of the CAP 2.0 would not result in a substantial physical deterioration of parks or other recreational facilities or result in the need to expand recreational facilities. Therefore, the CAP 2.0 would result in no impact related to the need for construction of new or altered recreational facilities. Cumulative Impacts The cumulative projects scenario is overall General Plan buildout for Pleasanton in 2025 plus Pleasanton population projections through 2045. Implementation of CAP 2.0 projects, in combination with other cumulative projects anticipated under Pleasanton General Plan buildout, would not result in increases in population or induce additional population growth beyond that 86 Pleasanton, City of. 2009.
