AUGUSTIN BERNAL MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAIL PROJECT DRAFT INITIAL STUDY <br /> 12956 <br />DUDEK 9 April 2022 <br />The proposed trail would require an access easement with the Golden Eagle Homeowner’s Association (HOA) <br />because the HOA owns land between the staging area parking lot and Augustin Bernal Community Park that the <br />proposed alignment would cross. The easement is anticipated to extend approximately 50 feet on either side of the <br />trail alignment to allow for construction and maintenance. <br />In addition to developing the proposed trail, the City also proposes to decommission approximately 4,300 linear <br />feet of existing user-created trails, as shown in Figure 6. Trails to be Decommissioned. This would involve removing <br />constructed features such as berms and jumps, rehabilitating soil, and broadcasting a seed mix to promote new <br />vegetation growth. <br />Project Site Characteristics <br />The project site is located within Augustin Bernal Community Park, which is a destination for cyclists and hikers <br />from the City of Pleasanton due to its nine major trails, as shown in Figure 4. Augustin Bernal Community Park is <br />known to support a mosaic of vegetation communities and species, and scenic views and vistas (see Figure 7, <br />Scenic Views), along with its biking and hiking trails. The three other biking trails within the park have slopes that <br />range from an average of 5% to 9% downgrade (City of Pleasanton 2019a). <br />Currently, the project site hosts several unofficial trails and trail spurs. The use of unofficial trails that have not been <br />designed has resulted in sections with higher risk of erosion and rutting, as well as improper banking and other <br />deficiencies. Figures 8a and 8b, Existing Trail Condition Photos, provides examples of these degraded or deficient <br />sections. <br />The parking lot on Golden Eagle Way was originally constructed in 1993 and was expanded in July 2018 in response <br />to public input. Currently, the staging area contains 4 horse trailer spaces, 41 vehicle spaces, 2 ADA parking spaces, <br />and a restroom. Golden Eagle Way is accessed via residential roads off of Foothill Boulevard and is accessible only <br />to City residents and to non-residents who first obtain a no-fee permit card from the City. <br />Existing Land Use and Zoning <br /> General Plan Land Use Designation: Augustin Bernal Community Park is designated Parks and Recreation <br />and the portion of land owned by Golden Eagle HOA that the trail would cross is designated Agriculture and <br />Grazing (City of Pleasanton 2009a). <br /> Zoning: The Augustin Bernal Community Park and parking lot/staging area are zoned Public and the portion <br />of land owned by Golden Eagle HOA that the trail would cross is zoned Planned Unit Development – Low <br />Density Residential (City of Pleasanton 2018). <br />Surrounding Land Uses <br />The project site is surrounded by existing park and recreational facilities. Most of the trail would be contained within <br />Augustin Bernal Community Park, but the lower third of the trail would cross Golden Eagle HOA property, subject to <br />an access easement. To the west, north, and south is Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park, which consists of more than <br />9,000 acres and is owned and operated by the East Bay Regional Park District. To the south is Castlewood Country <br />Club, a private golf course. Augustin Bernal Community Park lies on the western boundary of the City. The City <br />boundaries extend approximately 4.75 miles to the north and approximately 5.75 miles to the east.
