preservation goal, objectives, polices, and programs. The City plans to develop an historic landmark preservation ordinance. Archaeolo!,1cal Resources Ohlone (or Costanoan) habitation, Spanish settlers during the mission period, irrunigrants during the Califorrtia Gold Rush, and people drawn to Pleasanton for agricultural and other resources weave into the rich mpestry of I'leasanton's cultural history. Each period of settlement in I'leasanton has added a new layer to its cultural fabric with burials, place names, streets and buildings, religions, and institutions. For example, people in Pleasanton still refer to its creeks as arroyos, follow the same street grid established by the Neals and Kottingers, hike along the arroyos once peopled by the Native Americans, and ranch in the Southeast Hills and along the Pleasanton Ridge like the early settlers. Archaeological remains are scattered throughout the Pleasanton Planning Area, and concentrate mostly along arroyos and near former marshlands and springs. According to a review of available records by the Northwest Information Center of the California j\rchaeological Inventory, there are several recorded and reported prehistoric, and historic archaeological sites in the Pleasanton Planning Area. lbese sites include a prehistoric camp or temporary village; a prehistoric occupation site with mortars, pestles, and arrowheads; two sites that contain chert tools and crartial fragments; and an historic farmhouse.>'~1 Because archaeologists have surveyed so little of the Planning Area, it is likely tl,at there arc additional buried resources beyond those reported and/or recorded and inventoried. OPEN SPACE LANDS The General Plan designates five categories of Open Space in the Planning l\rea. 'lbese include Parks and Recreation, Water Management and Recreation, Agriculture and Grazing, Public Health and Safety, and Wikllands Overlay. Figure VII-S shows tile location of each of these open space categories along with specific desi!,'1lated and named recreational open spaces. Recreational Open Space, discussed below, is open space for outdoor recreation, which along with Pleasanton's parks, is shown in the Parks and Recreation category. Open space for \Vater Management and Recreation is for both outdoor recreation and the managed production of resources. Open space for l\griculture and Grazing is for the managed production of resources. The Public Health and Safety designation is open space for public health and safety. '111e Wildlands Overlay designation (over Public Health and Safety and also Parks and Recreation) is open space for the preservation of natural resources. In order to encourage creative and flexible projects in rural areas where the City permits lirrtited development, the City uses its Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning district.
