community park and approximately 70 acres of service commercial /light industrial uses, 30 acres of retail/commercial uses, and 6.8 acres of right of way. Figure II -2 illustrates the original Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan Land Use Map. B. 1993 Adoption of the Airport Protection Area In 1993, the Alameda County Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) adopted an Airport Protection Area (APA) for the Livermore Airport, in an effort to reduce further residential encroachment that could result in nuisance complaints that could compromise airport operations. The APA is defined as a rectangle whose sides are 5,000 feet from the north, south and east ends of the runways, and 7,100 feet from the westerly end. The APA includes approximately 78 acres of the easterly portion of the Staples Ranch site. Approximately 46 acres of the Staples Ranch site are located outside the APA. ALUC policy is to prohibit new residential development within the APA. This policy has been incorporated into Pleasanton's General Plan. C. 2004 Arrovo Mocho Realignment Project In 2004, the Alameda County Flood Control District Zone 7 (Zone 7), in coordination with the ACSPA and consistent with the 1989 Specific Plan, completed a flood control improvement project to significantly widen and deepen the Arroyo Mocho channel in the vicinity of Staples Ranch in order to contain the projected 100 year flood. This project also realigned the Arroyo Las Positas, which had formerly traversed Staples Ranch, removing it from the property and constructing a new channel in Livermore that now converges with the Arroyo Mocho at El Charro Road. Material removed as a result of the excavation of the new channels was stockpiled on the Staples Ranch property in anticipation of future development. As part of the realignment project, two new bridges were constructed over the new channels to maintain access to the quarry operations to the south, via El Charro Road.
