Page 10 of 14 <br />As linked in Attachment 1, the Pleasanton Trails Master Plan shows planned new trails <br />surrounding Lakes H, Cope, and I and connecting to surrounding areas. The East Bay <br />Regional Park District is discussing the Chain of Lakes as part of its master plan update. The <br />East Pleasanton Specific Plan (never adopted) included new community parks and open <br />spaces with trail and visual connections to the Chain of Lakes. <br /> <br />Recommended Policy Questions <br />Staff recommends that the EPPF project explore the following policy questions related to open <br />space and recreation: <br />• Should an open space buffer be maintained between Pleasanton and Livermore? <br />• What types of new recreational amenities, if any, should be provided in East <br />Pleasanton? <br />• How should new development, open space, and recreational facilities interface with the <br />Chain of Lakes? <br /> <br />Public Service Facilities <br />As shown in Figure 4 in Attachment 1, two public service facilities are located in the study <br />area: the City of Pleasanton Operations Service Center and the solid waste transfer station. <br /> <br />Operations Service Center <br />The Operations Service Center (OSC) at 333 Busch Road is used by the City of Pleasanton <br />Public Works Department, Pleasanton Police Department, and Livermore-Pleasanton Fire <br />Department. The 17-acre OSC property is owned by the City of Pleasanton. The following <br />activities occur at the OSC facility: <br />• Public Works: Administrative offices, utilities, street and parks maintenance, <br />vehicle/fleet maintenance, sign shop, corporation yard, outdoor storage. <br />• Police: Evidence storage, training and meeting facilities, shooting range (closed <br />because the facility does not meet current standards) <br />• Fire: Fire training tower, training and meeting facilities <br /> <br />Pleasanton Well 8 is located on the OSC property. Well 8 is a City-owned groundwater well <br />that is currently offline due to PFAS contamination.  <br /> <br />The City is currently conducting a comprehensive assessment of City facilities, including the <br />OSC. Based on initial staff-level input, there could be advantages to relocating OSC functions <br />to a larger or different site due to existing space constraints and changes to surrounding land <br />uses; however, relocating these functions would be a complex and costly undertaking. <br /> Existing residential development abuts the north and east sides of the OSC property. The <br />approved Kiewit residential development is south of the OSC property, and the proposed <br />Arroyo Lago residential project abuts the west side of the property. If Arroyo Lago is approved <br />and constructed, the OSC property will be surrounded on all sides by residential development. <br /> <br /> <br />Solid Waste Transfer Station <br />The solid waste transfer station at 3110 Busch Road is owned and operated by Pleasanton <br />Page 11 of 91
