Environmental Evaluation Setting The Conservation and Open Space Element and the Public Facilities and Community Program Element of the General Plan set forth goals and policies regarding the preservation of open space and recreational areas within the City. The City of Pleasanton currently offers 44 community and neighborhood parks, approximately 24 miles of trails, and over 600 acres of undeveloped open space.101 The City currently provides about 5.1 acres of improved neighborhood and community parks per 1,000 people, slightly above the national standard and General Plan goal of 5 acres per 1,000 people.102 a) Would the project increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated? No impact. The proposed project would not directly induce unplanned population growth in the City because it would not add residential units to the site. The proposed project would include the redevelopment of a site for commercial and office, R&D, and light laboratory manufacturing uses. As such, the proposed project would not create the need for new or expanded parks or other recreational facilities as employees would use the City’s existing recreational facilities, including trails and athletic fields, significantly less often than residents. The nearest park to the proposed project is Moller Neighborhood Park, located at 5500 Pleasant Hill Road, 0.27 mile southwest of the project site, and Muirwood Community Park, located at 4701 Muirwood Drive, 0.7 mile southeast of the project site. The proposed project would not measurably increase the use of existing parks or recreational facilities or result in substantial deterioration of facilities because the proposed project 101 City of Pleasanton. 2020.
