AUGUSTIN BERNAL MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAIL PROJECT DRAFT INITIAL STUDY 12956 DUDEK 69 April 2022 which covers more than 9,000 acres and is owned and operated by the East Bay Regional Park District. To the south is Castlewood Country Club. Augustin Bernal Community Park lies on the western boundary of the City. The city boundaries extend approximately 4.75 miles to the north and approximately 5.75 miles to the east. Impact Discussion a) Would the project physically divide an established community? The project would construct a new official mountain bike trail within the existing Augustin Bernal Community Park, replacing several existing unofficial user-created trails. The project site is adjacent to existing single family residential areas to the east, and the existing Park to the north, south, and west. There is no residential land uses within the Park or within the portion of the Golden Eagle HOA-owned land that the trail would cross; thus there are no established communities immediately adjacent to any portion of the proposed trail. Therefore, implementation of the project would not result in the division of an established community and the project would have no impact. b) Would the project cause a significant environmental impact due to a conflict with any land use plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect? The project would construct a new mountain bike trail within existing parkland and open space. The project would not require any changes in the land use or zoning designations. Land use on the project site is regulated by the City of Pleasanton General Plan, and the City Zoning Ordinance. This Initial Study finds that the project would result in potentially significant environmental effects in the areas of biological resources, cultural resources, geology and soils, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, public services, recreation, and tribal cultural resources. However, these potential impacts are typical of most construction projects throughout California and do not indicate that the project would be inconsistent with the City’s General Plan, Municipal Code, or other plans and regulations. The project would have no impact. Mitigation Measures No mitigation measures are required.
