To the west, directly adjacent to Staples Ranch, is the California Somerset neighborhood, within the City of Pleasanton. The neighborhood consists of single family homes, largely two story, with access from Santa Rita Road to the west, via West Las Positas Boulevard and Pimlico Drive. The southern portion of the neighborhood (along Vermont Place) was constructed in the 1980s. The northerly portion of the neighborhood (along Staples Ranch Drive, West Las Positas Boulevard and Minis Circle) was part of the original 156 acre Staples Ranch property and was constructed in the early 1990s. To the southwest, south of the Arroyo Mocho channel, the Stoneridge Park neighborhood, which was completed in the early 2000s as part of the original Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan, extends approximately 450 feet east of the westerly edge of Staples Ranch. Directly south of Staples Ranch and the Arroyo Mocho channel, between the Stoneridge Park neighborhood and El Charro Road, are former gravel quarries, some of which has been reclaimed, that were recently purchased by Legacy Partners from Hanson Aggregates. Further to the east are active gravel quarries, operated primarily by Vulcan Materials, which utilize El Charro Road to access I -580. The active and former quarry lands are located in unincorporated Alameda County. To the north of Staples Ranch, across I -580 in the City of Dublin, currently vacant land south of the recently extended Dublin Boulevard is slated for office and retail development as part of Dublin's Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. North of Dublin Boulevard and west of Fallon Road, extensive residential development is already under construction. Dublin also recently approved the Fallon Village project, proposed to eventually accommodate approximately 3,100 homes and 2.5 million square feet of commercial development to the east of Fallon Road. The area just east of El Charro Road, in the City of Livermore, is currently undeveloped agricultural land, with the exception of a golf driving range off of Freisman Road. In July 2007, Livermore adopted the El Charro Specific Plan, which calls for the development of approximately 1.5 million square feet of retail development on approximately 250 acres, with primary access from an improved El Charro Road and an extension of Jack London Boulevard from its current terminus west of Isabel Avenue. The first phase of the project, the 450,000 square foot Prime Retail Outlet Mall located adjacent to El Charro Road and I -580, is anticipated to begin construction in 2009. East of the El Charro Specific Plan area and a portion of the Las Positas Golf Course is the Livermore Municipal Airport, a 643 acre facility owned and operated by the City of Livermore. The airport is a General Aviation Airport that serves private, business, and corporate tenants and customers. The airport currently has approximately 650 based Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan Amendment/Staples Ranch Draft October, 2008 14 r r 1
