The open space area will include a public staging <br />area, local and regional trails, and areas set aside for habitat preservation and wildland <br />fire management. The development is planned and designed in a manner that is <br />sensitive to and compatible with the site and its constraints -topography, tree cover, <br />and habitat areas -and with nearby developments. Detailed building and landscape <br />design guidelines will guide the City and future homeowners with the design of their <br />homes. Measures designed to prevent wildland fires -residential fire sprinklers, open <br />space management, purchase of a new fire engine, etc. -are an integral part of the <br />proposal. The proposed project implements the applicable policies and standards of the <br />Pleasanton General Plan pertaining to hillside development. <br />
