<: <br />i <br />1 ';i r~ <br />The open space component of the Phase II Plan Area is planned to create the <br />identifying character of the Bernal Property, and to help define the sites for <br />community facilities and trail corridors. The open space framework is to further <br />provide settings, within which the Grand Park design strategies presented in the <br />following chapter can be implemented. <br />11. Park and Recreational Uses -Park and recreational uses could include <br />lighted and unlighted sports fields, tennis, basketball, children's playgrounds, <br />amphitheater, botanical garden, arboretum, public art, memorial groves <br />and gardens, lakes and ponds, dog park, bird sanctuary, specialty gardens, <br />maintenance yard, and related recreational uses and facilities. <br />12. Park-and-Ride Commuter Parking Lot -The Pleasanton General Plan identifies <br />several locations within the City, including the Bernal Property, for the possible <br />future development of park-and-ride lots to serve Tri-Valley commuter ride- <br />sharing and regional transit systems. The only remaining General Plan site along <br />the I-680 Corridor for a potential lot is on the Bernal Property next to the I-680/ <br />Bernal Avenue southbound on-and off-ramps. <br />13. Public Utilities - A variety of public utilities and related improvements will be <br />needed to facilitate development of the Planning Area. These include primarily <br />water, public wells, wastewater, flood control, storm water quality, gas and <br />electrical services and communication systems. <br />14. Trails -Multi-use trails are planned to accommodate leisure walking, jogging, <br />bicycling, equestrians, and access for emergency and open space maintenance <br />vehicles to all major public facilities. Multi-use trails are to connect to the <br />regional trail system. Secondary trails are to connect the multi-use trails to all <br />other on-site pedestrian circulation systems, including sidewalks, bicycle lanes, <br />hiking paths, garden paths, etc. <br />1 S. Youth/Community Center - A complex to facilitate youth and other community <br />social and institutional activities is encouraged to be centrally located adjacent <br />to the Community Park. The youth building should be physically separated <br />from the community building, but parking areas should be shared. The youth <br />center could accommodate City groups as well as private youth clubs, such as <br />the YMCA. <br />The Youth Center services and facilities might include: programs and special <br />events; food court/cafe; lounge and meeting space; rooms available for <br />activities such as computer games, music, aerobics and fitness, counseling and <br />classrooms; and access to a large multi-purpose room that could be shared with <br />the Community Center. <br />Land Use Element PAGE 5 OF 6 <br />
