Pleasanton Parks and Recreation Master Plan

1-10 Pleasanton Parks and Recreation Master Plan Section One ‐ Introduction 2014  Downtown Specific Plan Originally adopted in 1989, this plan serves as the primary regulatory guide for preserving and enhancing the Downtown Pleasanton area. Land use planning, circulation network, standards for development, environmental measures and implementation requirements are all comprehensively guided through the plan. This document was updated in 2002. Then in 2006, the Design Guidelines document was updated, and the Downtown Hospitality Guidelines document was just completed in November 2012.  Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan / Staples Ranch The proposed development of the 124 acre Staples Ranch property, located at the southwest corner of the I‐580 and El Charro Road, includes approximately 37 acres of service commercial/light industrial uses, a 45 acre senior continuing care community with a health center, an 11 acre commercial / retail development, a 17 acre community park, and a 5 acre neighborhood park that includes a storm water detention basin.  Bernal Property Phase II Specific Plan This document provides planning direction for the 318 acres of public land of the greater 516 acre Bernal Property. Phase I included mixed density housing, commercial/office, a “village common” park, a neighborhood park, while Phase II includes completion of a 30 to 50‐acre community park, a fire station, elementary school, storm water detention basins, roads, a neighborhood/special use park and trails. The plan area is located just west of downtown Pleasanton south of Bernal Avenue on both sides of Interstate 680 and north of the Alameda County Transportation Corridor as well as the Castlewood County Club Golf Course.  East Pleasanton Specific Plan The East Pleasanton Specific Plan is currently in progress and will create a land use and development plan for approximately 1,000 acres of land east of Valley Avenue and Busch Road and north of Stanley Boulevard.
