CITYWIDE TURF REDUCTION STUDY <br />4 / 47 CITY OF PLEASANTON © Copyrighted 2024 Callander Associates <br /> Landscape Architecture, Inc. <br />INTRODUCTION <br />On April 20, 2023, CALA and City staff reviewed aerial imagery and GIS data for City parks and <br />civic properties including the civic center grounds and fire stations 1 and 2. At the meeting, limits <br />of potential non-functional and non-recreational turf removal were identified for each candidate <br />site. Based on the outcome of the meeting, the study evaluates twenty-two (22) neighborhood <br />parks, four (4) community parks and three (3) civic properties. Potential water use reduction was <br />calculated based on the limits of turf removal depicted for each candidate site. In addition, <br />estimated construction costs are presented based on two turf replacement scenarios. Aerial <br />images of each evaluated site with the proposed limits of non-functional and non-recreational <br />turf removal are also included with areas labeled in square feet. <br />The potential non-functional and non-recreational turf reduction limits identified in this study are <br />not final. Turf reduction limits can be altered taking into consideration the City’s needs at the <br />time of conversion. The purpose of this study is meant to capture the possibilities of non-functional <br />and non-recreational turf conversion across the City and the associated water savings and <br />implementation costs. <br />Page 12 of 58
