EXHIBIT I
ALAMO SPRINGS
GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT
Recommended Changes to the 1991 County General Plan
and 1987 Danville General Plan
To integrate the Alamo Springs General Plan Amendment into the
Countywide General Plan and into the Danville General Plan, the
land use element maps of both respective plans shall be changed
to reflect the Open Space and Single Family Residential-Low
Density for the 148-acre amendment area. The boundaries of the
recommended change are shown in Figure I. A new policy will be
added to page 3-70 of the County General Plan and to page 51.a.
of the Danville General Plan to read as follows:
Development of the Alamo Springs property which is
adjacent to Interstate 680 at the ends of La Gonda Way
and Los Balcones Drive in the Alamo/Danville area shall
be limited to a maximum of 58 single family residential
units. Primary vehicular access shall be from La Gonda
Way. Open Space lands shall be deed restricted to
Contra Costa County and the Town of Danville and
maintained as a project buffers, fire breaks, permanent
private and/or public open space and publicly-
accessible trails. Active or passive project
recreation facilities may also be permitted in certain
portions of this designation.
The residential designation provides for a maximum of
58 dwelling units. The boundaries are generalized but
encourage development within the previously graded
areas of the ridgetop and generally preclude
development that would be visible from adjacent valley
floors.
Development shall be designed to maximize protection of
existing mature Valley Oaks on site, including those
trees in proximity to proposed development.
