II. MASTER PLAN OBJECTIVES In addition to the overriding goal of the Community Park Master Plan presented in Chapter 1, the following Park objectives characterize the Plan in terms of programs, design and operations: 1. To ensure that the Park facilities and programs conform to all pertinent provisions of the Bernal Property Specific Plans. 2. To provide high quality active sports facilities, trails and amphitheater to serve a broad range of community age groups and interests. 3. To ensure that Park facilities and programs remain flexible over time to respond to evolving community sports needs. 4. To ensure that potential impacts on neighboring residents, such as lighting and noise, are effectively minimized to the extent practicable, while recognizing that community parks are active land uses by nature. 5. To create a well-defined framework of linear forested open spaces surrounding clustered sports fields that mimic the Bernal Property Phase II Specific Plan "grand park" landscape concept, including landform and plant community treatments. 6. To cultivate open space plant communities over time through sustainable management principles and practices. 7. To protect and frame views through the Park toward the Pleasanton Ridgelands and the Southeast Hills, for motorists traveling on Bernal Avenue, to the extent feasible. 8. To develop Park facilities that maximize accessibility and programmability, utilize shared parking, and minimize vehicular circulation impacts. 9. To minimize the visual impact of parking by breaking up lots into smaller disbursed components. 10. To maximize the provision of trails and pathways for pedestrians, joggers and bicyclists. 11. To ensure that the architectural design of buildings creates subtle focal points that reflect the more dominant character of the planned outlying natural setting. 8
