Appendix B Description of Potential Land Uses The open space component of the Phase II Plan Area is planned to create the identify- ing character of the Bernal Property, and to help define the appropriate sites for com- munity facilities and trail corridors. The open space framework is to further provide settings, within which the Grand Park design strategies presented in Chapter 4 of the Phase II Specific Plan can be implemented. 11. Park and Recreational Uses - Park and recreational uses could include lighted and unlighted sports fields, tennis, children's playgrounds, amphitheater, botanical garden, arboretum, public art, memorial groves and gardens, lakes and ponds, bird sanctuary, specialty gardens, maintenance yard, and related recreational uses and facilities. 12. Park-and-Ride Commuter Parking Lot - The Pleasanton General Plan delineates several locations within the City, including the Bernal Property, for the future development of park-and-ride lots to serve Tri-Valley commuter ride-sharing and regional transit sys- tems. The only remaining proposed General Plan location along the 1-680 Corridor for a potential lot is on the Bernal Property next to the 1-680jBernal Avenue southbound on-and off-ramps. 13. Public Utilities - A variety of public utilities and related improvements will be needed to facilitate development of the Planning Area. These relate primarily to water, waste- water, flood control, storm water quality, gas and electrical services and communica- tion systems. 14. Trails - Multi-use trails are planned to accommodate leisure walking, jogging, bicy- cling, and access for emergency and open space maintenance vehicles to all major public facilities. Multi-use trails are to connect to regional trails. Secondary trails are to connect the multi-use trails to other pedestrian circulation systems, including side- walks, bicycle lanes, hiking paths, garden paths, etc. 15. Youth jCommunity Center - A complex to facilitate youth and other community social and institutional activities is encouraged to be centrally located adjacent to the Com- munity Park. The youth building should be physically separated from the community building, but parking areas should be shared. The youth center could accommodate City programs as well as private youth club programs. City youth services might include: programs and special events; food courtjcafe; lounge and meeting space; rooms available for activities such as computer games, music, aerobics and fitness, counseling and classrooms; and access to a large multi- purpose room that might be shared with the community center. The community center could accommodate adult and family programs as well as rooms for City and community meetings and events. B3
