..~~ HACIL•NDA re-designate land to Mixed-Use, to encourage a range of compatible uses within the Park. • General Plan Policies 13, 14, and Program 14.1 encourage mixed-use development around BART stations, and at densities that encourage affordable housing, and apedestrian-ftiendly environment. Consistent with other General Plan policy direction, the mixed-use policies support the envisioned transit-oriented development in Hacienda. • The Land Use Element contains goals, policies, and programs that emphasize sustainability and environmental quality. The envisioned development for Hacienda Business Park embodies the sustainable development characteristics that the General Plan embraces, including high quality neighborhood design, proximity to transit, walkability, and a balanced mix of uses. Policies and programs in this section refer specifically to transit-compatible development near BART stations and in business parks, and encourage community design techniques such as enhanced access, connections, and road design to facilitate alternative transportation usage and pedestrian mobility. Circulation Element The Circulation Element provides policies and maps which indicate the general location and extent of existing and proposed circulation routes and facilities. The Circulation Element measures planned land uses against future transportation conditions, and provides mitigation measures for critical intersections which will be problematic in terms of traffic volume under buildout conditions. While the Circulation Element does not focus on policy direction relating to the future development of Hacienda Business Park, it does include direction and policies related to sustainable development, design of facilities, and improvements that address and provide input to land uses within Hacienda. Future transit-oriented development within Hacienda is intended to provide significant transportation improvements, provide transportation alternatives, and reduce trip generation, all of which are consistent with the Circulation Element's policy direction.
