Another, larger, mound in the north central portion of the property was material imported by KB Homes in 1995 in anticipation of using it for fill material as part of a residential project that was never constructed. The largest mound, near the Arroyo channel, as well as a smaller stockpile in the northwesterly portion of the property, are comprised of material excavated from the Arroyo Las Positas Realignment/Arroyo Mocho Widening project completed in 2004. C. Existing Land Use Designations The City of Pleasanton General Plan Map shows mixed uses (Medium and High Density Residential; Parks and Recreation; and Retail/Highway /Service Commercial, Business and Professional Offices) for Staples Ranch, and states that specific land uses, densities, public improvements, and other requirements are subject to the Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan. The Arroyo Mocho channel south of Staples Ranch is designated Public Health and Safety, with a Wildlands Overlay designation. The adopted 1989 Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan more clearly defines the location, size, and densities of existing Staples Ranch land use designations. Approximately 32 acres of the original 156 acre Staples Ranch property was developed as part of the California Somerset neighborhood in the early 1990s. As illustrated in Figure 11 -2, the remaining 124 acres of Staples Ranch is designated for approximately 30 acres of Retail and Service Commercial adjacent to the I- 580/El Charro Road interchange, 17.2 acres of Community Park in the southwestern portion of the property, and approximately 70 acres of Service Commercial/Light Industrial uses in the northwest and southeast portions of the property. The remainder, 6.8 acres, is designated for right of way dedications for the extension of Stoneridge Drive and the widening of El Charro Road. The 1.5 acre Staples Ranch parcel that is currently within the Pleasanton city limits is zoned PUD- Medium Density Residential (PUD -MDR). The remaining unincorporated area is zoned "Agricultural" by Alameda County, although the Alameda County East County Area Plan designates Staples Ranch for Mixed Use development. D. Surrounding Land Uses Residential and vacant/agricultural land uses dominate the areas surrounding Staples Ranch, although much of the currently vacant land is planned for extensive development in the near future. Land uses in the vicinity of Staples Ranch are shown in Figure III-1. Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan Amendment/Staples Ranch Draft October, 2008 12 r 0 r 1
