No determination was made in the 1998 <br />HVSP FEIR regarding the significance level of impacts associated with mineral resources. <br />The Pleasanton General Plan Map identifies approximately 1,750 acres of regionally significant sand <br />and gravel deposits in the eastern portion of the City.33 The area is located east of Martin Avenue, <br />west of Isabel Avenue, and north of Vineyard Avenue and is designated as an “Aggregate Resource <br />Area.”34 The project site is approximately 3.45 miles southwest of this area and is not located within <br />any other known mineral resource area. <br />The HVSP envisions the project site, located in the Spotorno Flat Area, for PUD-SRDR and PUD-A/OS. <br />This land use designation allows for the development of semi-rural-density and open space and <br />agriculture. As a result, the project site is not designated or zoned for mineral resource extraction, <br />and mineral resource operations are not expected to occur within the HVSP. Therefore, the proposed <br />project is consistent with the land use envisioned in the HVSP for the project site. <br /> <br />33 City of Pleasanton. 2009. 2005 Pleasanton Plan 2025, Conservation and Open Space Element.
