Although ::;~,e-, this Specific Plan covers otily the I'hasc i private development land uses, its many policies and programs have been designed to mesh with the future Phase II ]and use program. Most of the non-land use policies in the Specific Plan are applicable to both Phases I and B. ALTERNATIVE PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT AREAS The private development areas have been selected to harmonize the joint goals of creating functional, high qualiTy neighborhoods, allowing maximum flexibility in future Phase II land uses, and satisfactorily resolving environmental constraints. The portion of the Eastern Area slated for residential development contains areas over which other state and federal agencies have jurisdiction. While the residential land use plan for the Eastern Area has been developed to comply with these agencies' regulations, it is possible that, after further studies necessary to receive all permits, the Eastern Area cannot be developed in a manner consistent with the land use program set out for i[. In such an event, alternative locations for the residential development component of I'~w~r I , d the Specific Plan have been identified. These alternative areas will only be utilized for private development if the Eastern Area development program is constrained or excluded from development due to , .~.., ....-rrestrictions In~u,ed i~I~iCr~P'~P,;LLIIY_ p^Cn~C IIS, DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION OF THE PLANNING AREA As shown in Figure 1-], the SFWD site includes three separate land areas: a 202-acre Western Arca between Interstate 680 (I-680) and the Arroyo de la Laguna; atriangular-shaped Central Area of approximately 245 acres bounded by i-680 on [he southwest, Bernal Avenue on the north, and by the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) right-of-way on the southeast; and an Eastern Area of about 63 acres between the UPRR and the Alameda County Transportation Corridor (formerly the SPRR rights-of-way). The Alameda County Transportation Corridor is an undeveloped strip of land separating the SFWD Eastern Area from developed industrial land along Sunol Boulevard. Although the Planning Area is itself largely undeveloped, it lies within an urban setting that is predominantly developed. As shown on Figure 1-2, the Planning Area is adjacent to downtown and other urbanized portions of the City of Pleasanton, and it is located across from the Alameda County Fairgrounds and [he Bernal Corporate Center on Bernal Avenue.
