traffic service of LOS D or better, protecting valuable wildlife habitat areas, mitigating significant noise impacts, etc. Phase I Specific Plan The Phase I Bernal Property Specific Plan was prepared through the combined efforts of the City Council and staff, San Francisco Water District (former Property owner), and Greenbriar Homes (Property owner after the San Francisco Water District). The Phase I Plan pertains mostly to the I 98-acre private development area of the Property, but it also provides conceptual policy guidance for the remaining 3 18-acre Phase II area. The Phase I Plan was adopted by the Council in August 2000 and, with the exception of the commercial/office area, is nearing buildout of construction. A key aspect of the Phase I Plan is that it resulted in the dedication of 318-acres of the Bernal Property to the City by the developer for public use. Phase II Specific Plan Work on the Phase II Bernal Property Specific Plan began in December 2000 with the Council appointment of an 18-member Bernal Property Task Force. Following a series of public meetings, the Task Force completed its work on the original "Draft Bernal Property Phase II Specific Plan," dated May 13, 2002. This draft was then the subject of a series of Council workshop meetings in 2003 that were subsequently followed by the Bernal Design Competition in 2004. During the past year, City staff and consultants, with direction from the Council, have merged various elements of the original Draft Plan, the winning Bernal Design Competition plan, City commission input, and substantial community input into the updated "Preliminary Draft Bernal Property Phase II Specific Plan," dated October 25,2005. The Draft Phase II Specific Plan is scheduled to be processed in conjunction with, and at the same meetings as, the Draft Bernal Community Park Master Plan (discussed below) and the Bernal EIR (also discussed below). It is anticipated that this review process will be completed in May 2006, in time to include the Bernal land use plan on the November 2006 ballot for consideration of ratification by the citizens. Bernal Community Park Master Plan Also in the year 2000, the Council initiated planning for a "30-50-acre" community park within the Phase II Specific Plan area. Due to the significant acreage involved and the range of recreational facilities anticipated, it was assumed that development of the Park would occur over time and in phases. It was, therefore, considered prudent to create a master plan that would preliminarily determine the desired future recreational facility needs and locate them in a well organized and phased scheme, while maintaining flexibility to allow for future changes to meet the community needs over time.
