Permit passive recreation such as hiking, bicycling, horseback riding, <br />nature and cultural resource study, photography, and picnicking. <br />Program 1.8 Design site sensitive recreation or interpretive facilities to minimize intrusion within <br />natural public open space. Limit public access, including hiking trails, into sensitive <br />habitat areas, when warranted. <br />Program 1.9 Plant native species wherever possible in public and private landscaping, and <br />provide wildlife habitat in new landscaping, where appropriate. <br />Program 1.10 Design storm retention and drainage ponds, groundwater-recharge areas, and <br />watercourses as wildlife habitats, when appropriate and environmentally sound. <br />Program 1.11 Support the efforts of the Alameda Creek Fisheries Restoration Workgroup to <br />restore native steelhead populations in Alameda Creek. <br />Program 1.12 Support appropriate development intensity adjacent to areas designated as <br />Wildlands Overlay. <br />Program 1.13 Provide activities and educational opportunities related to preserving and enhancing <br />natural resources and the environment. <br />Policy 2 Preserve Heritage Trees throughout the Planning Area. <br />Program 2.1 Strongly encourage preservation of Heritage Trees; where preservation is not <br />feasible, the City will require tree replacement or a contribution to the Urban <br />Forestry Fund. Allow no net loss of trees. <br />Program 2.2 Follow the provisions of the City’s Heritage Tree Ordinance, Pleasanton Municipal <br />Code Chapter 17.16, Tree Preservation, when reviewing future development <br />projects.
