This Specific Plan is essentially a development plan for the Laguna Oaks subdivision, where the first homes were completed in 1995. 5. North Sycamore Specific Plan. The City adopted this 135-acre Specific Plan in 1992 with the objective of providing guidance for annexation and development while retaining the area’s rural character. Land-use designations include Low-Density Residential, Agricultural, and some Commercial and Medium- Density Residential near Sunol Boulevard. As of 2006, residential development of the area is mainly complete, although some commercial development is yet to be constructed. 6. Happy Valley Specific Plan. In 1998 the City adopted the 860- acre Specific Plan for Happy Valley. The Specific Plan area, which includes both incorporated and unincorporated land, includes a municipal golf course, open space and agricultural lands, as well as land for development of low-, medium-, and semi-rural-density homes. The Callippe Preserve Golf Course opened in 2005 and several golf-course custom homes have been developed. 7. Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan. This Specific Plan covers 384 areas on both sides of old Vineyard Avenue. The Plan allows a mix of single-family homes, vineyards, open space, community park, elementary school, and possible wine country related commercial sites. As of 2006, most of the single-family homes are either built or have planning approvals, and Vineyard Avenue has been realigned. Future Specific Plans In order to evaluate land use options and to provide detailed planning guidance in an area undergoing land-use transition, Pleasanton will initiate a specific plan for the East Pleasanton area. Callippe Preserve Golf Course in Happy Valley area In 1998 the City initiated a planning process for this area, which in 1999 the City deferred in order to complete the Bernal Property Specific Plan. This area includes approximately 1,000 acres in East Pleasanton and consists of lakes (reclaimed sand-and-gravel pits) now owned by Zone 7 Water Agency and Pleasanton Gravel Company, and land formerly owned by Hanson (Kaiser) Aggregates and Kiewit Corporation. Pleasanton will coordinate with Zone 7 on the planning of land uses in this area. This area, which the Livermore Airport impacts with aircraft noise, may include development of commercial, residential, and office/industrial uses, as well as use of lakes for flood protection, groundwater recharge, habitat, and recreation purposes. In addition, the Specific Plan will also define a circulation system for the area, including improvements to El Charro Road, will plan the extension of utilities, and would create a funding mechanism for the infrastructure required to support development. The City may also elect to undertake other Specific Plans in the future for large sites or areas undergoing change, and which may benefit from coordinated long-range planning.
