Resolution No. PC-96-52 Page 2 Full public street infrastructure including curb, gutter, and sidewalks, streets, and water, storm, and sanitary sewer lines are present to serve the proposed develop- ment on this site. All on-site infrastructure shall be installed by the project developer. To insure that adequate parking spaces remain available for guests, the homeown- ers association is provided the ability through the CC&R's to require that residents make space in their garages available for parking and that residents' vehicles are not being parked in the guest parking spaces. B. The proposed development plan is consistent with the City's General Plan: The entire project site is designated by the Land Use Element of the Pleasanton General Plan for Medium Density Residential (2-8 dulac) land uses. The project's proposed density, 6.63 dulac, conforms to this land use designation of the General Plan. The location of the proposed project implements Policy 2 of the Land Use Element (p. II-16) which, "Encourage(s) new housing in infill and peripheral areas which are adjacent to existing residential development." As stated in the Pleasanton General Plan (p. II-6), "Low and medium density pro- jects which propose densities greater than.....(5 dulac) should be zoned PUD, and should contain sufficient public amenities to compensate for the higher densities." The applicant would fulfill the public amenity requirement by installing a paved, 8' 0" wide asphalt bicycle/pedestrian trail within the channel of the Arroyo Del Valle, from the Union Pacific Railroad bridge past Main Street to the existing trailhead located near Vervais Drive. Program 11.7 of the Pleasanton General Plan (p. VII -15) states: "Develop a sys- tem of bicycle, equestrian and hiking trails to provide connections between major activity areas such as schools, parks and shopping centers." The proposed public trail from the Union Pacific Railroad bridge to Main Street would complete the trail begun by New Cities from Harvest Circle to the railroad, thereby linking the residential areas on Harvest Circle and Del V aile Parkway to the downtown. I Program 11.8 of the Pleasanton General Plan (p. VII-IS) states: "Support the rec- ommendations contained in Zone 7's Arroyo Management Plan." The proposed project is designed with some of its units facing a private street located along the arroyo, which closely follows the "Loop Streets" option of Zone 7's Master Plan, thereby preserving the visual access opportunities from the site to the arroyo.
