This land generally lies east of Martin Avenue, <br />west of Isabel Avenue, and north of Vineyard Avenue.82 The California Division of Mines and Geology <br />has designated the sand and gravel land that lies in and adjacent to the Pleasanton Planning Area as <br />an Aggregate Resource Area of Regional Significance.83 <br />Would the project: <br />a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to the region <br />and the residents of the State? <br />No impact. The project site is not designated or zoned for mineral resource extraction. The nearest <br />regionally important mineral resource is located in the eastern portion of the City, 3.40 miles east of <br />the project site. The project site does not contain any known mineral resources as documented by <br />the California Department of Conservation and the City of Pleasanton.84 Therefore, development of <br />the proposed project would not result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource. There <br />no impact would occur. <br /> <br />82 City of Pleasanton. 2009. 2005 Pleasanton Plan 2025, Conservation and Open Space Element.
