RELATED PLANNING DOCUMENTS Planning for the entire 516-acre Bernal Property (Phases I and II combined) has been an on- going process for many years. A summary of the related primary planning documents is outlined below to help provide the planning context into which the Phase II Specific Plan and Master Park Plan documents fit. General Plan The Pleasanton General Plan contains very conceptual guidance for the Bernal Property. Other than designating a community park within the Phase II area, the General Plan intentionally defers the more detailed planning for completion through the specific plan process (General Plan pages 11-21 and 11-37). The General Plan Map, for example, does not designate site-specific land use locations as it otherwise does for most other areas of the City, but instead it provides a range of potential uses for the property. Numerous General Plan policies of a city-wide nature, however, do apply to the Bernal Property regarding traffic circulation, protection of wildlife habitat areas, mitigation of significant noise impacts, etc. No actions relating to the General Plan are requested in conjunction with the current project. Phase I Specific Plan The Phase I Bernal Specific Plan was prepared through the combined efforts of the City Council and staff, San Francisco Water District (former Property owner), and Greenbrier Homes (Property owner following the San Francisco Water District). The Phase I Plan pertains mostly to the 19S-acre private development area of the Property, but it also provides some policy guidance for the remaining 31S-acre Phase II Area. The Plan was adopted by the Council in August 2000, and with the exception of the commercial/office area, is nearing buildout. A key aspect of the Plan is that it resulted in the dedication of 3lS acres of the Bernal Property to the City by the Phase I developer for public use. The Phase I Plan allowed for the recent development of 571 mixed-density housing units, a "village common" park, a neighborhood park, and streets and other public infrastructure. It also permits the future development of up to 750,000 square feet of commercial/office building floor area. It further calls for the construction of certain public facilities within the Phase II Planning Area, some of which have already been completed, including a fire station, an elementary school, two large storm-water detention basins, noise berms along 1-6S0, and streets. The remaining Phase I facilities to be constructed within the Phase II Area include, among other things, a "30- to 50-acre" community park. No actions relating to the Phase I Specific Plan are requested in conjunction with the current project. SR 06:142 Page 3
