2. The Cultural Arts Center is proposed to be located in the northeast corner of the Bernal Property as requested by the cultural arts advocates; the Community Park is situated in the eastern portion of the Plan Area as specified in the "Initiative to Save Our Community Park;" the central open space area has been maintained; and most of the area west of the freeway remains as open space. 3. Planning for the Phase II Area is to be long-range and evolutionary in nature. For this reason, it is not possible to plan for an ultimate buildout or end condition. Phase II land use and site planning are, therefore, proposed to consist of a two-part process. The first is based upon a sub-area land use map that spatiallv allocates land areas for a variety of potential land uses throughout the Planning Area, much the same as zoning districts. The objective of the Map is to allow for the development of uses in particular areas to be flexible so as to accommodate change over time in response to the community needs. The second part of the Phase II land use and site planning process is the Illustrative Site Plan. It is proposed to be used in conjunction with the Sub-area Land Use Map to provide a sense of the overall design character desired for the Phase II Plan Area. The Illustrative Plan further provides conceptual direction for creating the desired open space/Grand Park-like setting, including the natural vegetation (forested areas and meadows) and man-made linkages (trails, public art, etc.) that support it. 4. A community center has been added to the list of potentially permitted land uses and is proposed to be developed in conjunction with, but physically independent from, the Youth Center. 5. The site that was previously under consideration for the ACE Train station is now proposed for open space and park and recreation uses. 6. Much of the Phase II area between the freeway and Valley Avenue is now proposed to consist of open space with lakes and other substantial additional wetland areas. 7. A Native American history reflective open space area is proposed as an option in the northwest portion of the Bernal Property. 8. Pleasanton Avenue is planned to extend from its present terminus at Bernal Avenue south to connect to Valley Avenue. Roundabouts are proposed to provide traffic calming along this section of the street. 9. A substantial system of trails is planned throughout the Phase II area. In addition, a six-foot widening of the south side of Bernal Avenue, east of the Fire Station, is proposed to accommodate bicycle traffic. SR 05:301 Page 6
