These areas are generally privately owned and public <br />access is not allowed. <br /> Parks and Recreation - Neighborhood, community, and <br />regional parks. Development is limited to community facilities <br />that support or complement the park use. <br /> Public Health and Safety - Land set aside for the protection of <br />the public health and safety due to geologic, topographic, fire, <br />or other hazards. No development is allowed in these areas <br />other than one single-family home on each existing lot of <br />record as of September 16, 1986 which meets City <br />requirements for access, public safety, building site, and <br />architectural design, etc. These areas are generally privately <br />owned and public access is not allowed. <br /> Wildlands Overlay - Lands identified as wildlife corridors and <br />valuable plant and wildlife habitats such as arroyos, the San <br />Antonio Reservoir area, highly vegetated areas, and other <br />natural areas necessary to maintain significant populations of <br />plant and animal species. This is an “overlay” designation <br />which is additive to the underlying General Plan Map <br />designation. No private development is allowed in these areas <br />other than one single-family home on each existing lot of <br />record as of September 16, 1986, which meets City <br />requirements for access, public safety, building site, and <br />architectural design, etc. <br /> Water Management, Habitat, and Recreation – This <br />designation is reserved for lakes and ponds and the land <br />immediately surrounding them.

These water areas act as <br />community separators on the east edge of Pleasanton where no <br />significant development is allowed. <br />RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER ELEMENTS <br />Policies and programs established throughout the General Plan affect <br />the land use policies in Pleasanton. <br /> <br />Village commons and apartments in Bernal Specific Plan mixed-use project <br />Circulation Element <br />The Circulation Element promotes some land uses near transit lines <br />and/or hubs that encourage the use of transit and proposes to design <br />and regulate city streets to minimize traffic-related impacts on <br />adjacent land uses.
