D. A new approach road is proposed from the Valley Avenue and Laguna Creek Lane roundabout intersection, northward approximately 1,200 linear feet to the Project parking lot. This section of roadway, identified as Pleasanton Avenue Extension, will include two 55-foot radius roundabouts with two points of access to Project improvements. Improvements include paved travel lanes, continuous curb on one side, slotted curb, and bio-swale on the other. Street lighting, joint trench, sewer, water, and storm drainage infrastructure are sized to service the Project as well as build-out of furore park improvements north of Valley Avenue, east of the Walnut Hills neighborhood, south of Bemal Avenue and west of the train tracks. City standards for traffic signs, striping plans and crosswalks are also included. No on-street parking is proposed along the Pleasanton Avenue Extension. E. Architectural design for the baseball related structures are proposed to be provided through "design development," with the exception of the Project restroom, baseball equipment storage building, and trash enclosure; these facilities will be constructed in the Project. Green Building design, construction and maintenance features will be integrated into the construction of architectural and landscape elements. The Project design intent is to follow the City Energy Plan as well. F. Storm and irrigation water management features are to include both surface bio- swales and underground drain line systems. The play fields will have quick-drain sub-grades and under-field drain lines that connect to the existing storm line stub at the southernmost Valley Avenue roundabout. Pipe flows will enter the existing eastside detention basin where natural filtration will occur. Other landscape areas will incorporate bio-swales as feasible to clarify surface flows before infiltrating into the soil and drain inlets. Slotted curbs along the new approach road will allow road runoff to drain into the bio-swale system. G. Paving for trails, walkways and paths will use a variety of pervious systems, such as interlocking concrete pavers on sand, decomposed granite, turf block or grass ring products to reduce surface runoff and facilitate soil infiltration. Alternative paving types will be evaluated with staff during the construction plan design phase. These paving sections will be engineered to accommodate all load requirements. 3.0. POSSIBLE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS Possible environmental impacts relating to the Bernal Property area in which the current Project site is located were evaluated to a conceptual extent in the Phase I Berual Environmental Impact Report (EIR), dated March 1999. This EIR is, therefore, referenced as containing pertinent information and guidance for the Project. The purpose of the following Initial Study is to address some of the more specific impacts associated with the Project.
