1 1 1 1 Landscaping along El Charro Road would also be coordinated, with a theme of large canopy street trees provided on both sides of the sidewalks adjacent to the Auto Mall and Retail/Commercial sites and within the landscaped median. Tree selection would be coordinated with the City of Livermore, so that a unifying effect could be created, further strengthening the "gateway" effect. Figures IV -1, IV -2, IV -4, IV -6, and IV -7 conceptually illustrate proposed public street landscaping along El Charro Road, Auto Mall Place, and Stoneridge Drive. As noted in the Land Use section, both the Auto Mall and Continuing Care Community sites would be encouraged to landscape undeveloped portions of the adjacent I -580 frontage within the Caltrans right of way with appropriate decorative shrubs and other low growing plantings, to the extent permitted by Caltrans. These plantings should be coordinated through the PUD process to help visually tie together the two sites, as viewed from the freeway. Similarly, landscaping adjacent to the freeway, within the two development sites, should be coordinated to the extent possible, taking into account the requirements of the existing utility easements along this frontage. H. Future Extension of Stoneridae Drive As specified in the 2006 MOU between the ACSPA and Pleasanton, Auto Mall Place, Stoneridge Drive, and the intervening EVA improvements have been planned so that they can be modified to accommodate the future extension of Stoneridge Drive as a four lane divided arterial from Trevor Parkway to El Charro Road. Auto Mall Place and El Charro Road improvements are sized to accommodate anticipated traffic volumes at General Plan buildout. The two lane extension of Stoneridge Drive from Trevor Parkway across the Arroyo Mocho to serve the Continuing Care Community and Park sites, and the intervening EVA area have also been designed to accommodate the future extension of Stoneridge Drive as a four lane road to El Charro Road. Planned roadway improvements are located within a right of way varying approximately 95 to 151 feet wide, which would be dedicated to Pleasanton. The two lane bridge is located so that a second two lane bridge can be constructed just upstream, permitting the two lane Stoneridge Drive section within Staples Ranch to be widened to four lanes. Similarly, the EVA separating Stoneridge Drive from Auto Mall Place has been designed so that the two roadways can be connected, making Auto Mall Place an extension of Stoneridge Drive. Figure IV -8 conceptually illustrates the future four lane extension of Stoneridge Drive to El Charro Road. In addition to the four lanes, the extension would include turn lanes. Although the Pleasanton General Plan includes the extension of Stoneridge Drive to El Charro Road as a major arterial in the Circulation Element, it is not known at this time when Stoneridge Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan Amendment /Staples Ranch Draft October, 2008 45
