the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan to the north and the EI Charro Specific Plan to the east. Reflect changes to the timing, funding, and specific design of major infrastructure improvements since the adoption of the 1989 Specific Plan, including completion of the Arroyo Mocho improvements in 2004, the EI Charro Road Cooperation and Cost-Sharing agreements of 2007, and the City of Dublin's I-580 interchange improvements scheduled to begin in 2008. Be consistent with the City's planning policies embodied in the EI Charro Road Pre-Development and Cooperation Agreement (2007) and the Cost- Sharing Agreement (2007). Specifically, the EI Charro Road improvements agreed upon in the Pre-Development and Cooperation Agreement are very different from those envisioned in the 1989 Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan, which called for separate quarry-truck tunnels in both directions under the proposed Jack London/Stoneridge Drive/EI Charro Road intersection. The tunnel plan has since been deemed infeasible, both from an engineering and financial standpoint. The Cooperation Agreement replaces the tunnel plan with a new improvement plan which minimizes the need for quarry trucks to change lanes between the Jack London intersection and I-580. Ice Center Alternative Description The Ice Center Alternative is identical to the proposed project, except that it would include an approximately 138,500-square-foot ice center on a portion of the proposed community park. The ice center site, like the remainder of the community park, would be pre-zoned PUD-P. The facility, including related parking, would use about 8 acres of the proposed 17-acre community park. The ice center would be approximately 45 feet tall and contain up to four National Hockey League-size ice rinks. The rinks are intended for amateur ice hockey leagues (adult and youth), figure skating, broomball, curling, speed skating, ice dancing, as well as public skating. The EIR assumes that the ice center would have seating for up to 2,200 spectators and could employ approximately 29 full-time-equivalent staff; however, the ice center developers have indicated that they may reduce seating to 1,400. The ice center facility would feature an in-house pro shop, large meeting and party spaces, and a full service restaurant/bar. It is anticipated that the ice center may have approximately six special events a year which may require shuttle bus service to the site. In all other site plan, development program, access, and open space/amenity features, the Ice Center Alternative would mirror that of the proposed project.
