(APNs 985-0027-002-00, 905-0001-006-03, 985-0027-004-00, 985-0027-005-00)
The Dublin City Council does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. RECITALS
A. The Property Owner, GH PacVest LLC, is requesting approval of a Planned Development
Zoning Stage 1 Development Plan Amendment (Ordinance 32-05) and a Stage 2
Development Plan. The proposed project includes up to 238 residential units within 13.7
acres designated Medium High Density Residential, approximately 3,299,670 square feet of
commercial/office uses on 126 acres designated General Commercial/Campus Office.
Requested approvals include a General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Amendment,
Planned Development Stage 1 Development Plan Amendment (Ordinance No. 32-05) and
a Stage 2 Development Plan for the residential parcels, Vesting Tentative Tract Map Nos.
8663, 8666, and 8667, and a Development Agreement. These planning and implementing
actions are collectively known as the “Dublin Fallon 580 Project” or the “Project.”
B. The project site is approximately 126 acres generally bounded by Jordan Ranch and Francis
Ranch to the north, the vacant Righetti property to the east, Fallon Road to the west and
Interstate 580 (I‐580) to the south.
C. This Ordinance adopts an amendment to the Stage 1 Development Plan (Ordinance 32-05)
as it applies to the project area (APNs 985-0027-002-00, 905-0001-006-03, 985-0027-004-
00, 985-0027-005-00) and a Stage 2 Development Plan for 13.7-acres of Medium High
Density Residential within the Dublin Fallon 580 Project and located south of Jordan Ranch
and east and west of Croak Road (APNs 985-0027-002-00 and 905-0001-006-03).
E. This Ordinance shall supersede Ordinance No. 13-08, adopted by the City Council on March
18, 2008, for an amended Stage 1 Development Plan and Stage 2 Development Plan for the
7-acre residential portion of the GH PacVest property (formerly Anderson) located east of
Croak Road which, among other approvals established the regulations for the use,
development, improvement, and maintenance pursuant to Chapter 8.32 of the Dublin Zoning
Ordinance (APN 905-0001-006-03).
F. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) together with CEQA Guidelines and City
of Dublin CEQA Guidelines and Procedures require that certain project be reviewed for
environmental impacts and that environmental documents be prepared.
G. Prior CEQA analysis for the Project area includes: 1) the Eastern Dublin General Plan
Amendment and Specific Plan EIR (1993); 2) the East Dublin Properties Stage 1
Development Plan and Annexation Supplemental EIR (2002); and 3) the Fallon Village
Supplemental EIR (2005). Collectively, these three environmental review documents are
referred to as the “EDSP EIRs.” Pursuant to the requirements of the CEQA, the City prepared
an Addendum for the Project, which reflected the City’s independent judgment and analysis
Docusign Envelope ID: 2640FC10-F9D7-414D-A491-3A73EC197331
Ord. No. 05-24, Item 5.4, Adopted 08/20/2024 Page 2 of 13
of the potential environmental impacts of the Project and concludes that the Project would
not result in any new significant impacts or substantially increase the severity of any
significant impacts identified in the EDSP EIRs and no other CEQA standards for
supplemental review are met.
G. Following a properly noticed public hearing on June 11, 2024, the Planning Commission
adopted Resolution No. 24-05, recommending approval of the Addendum and the Dublin
Fallon 580 Project, and approve General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan
Amendments, Planned Development Zoning Stage 1 Development Plan Amendments and
a Stage 2 Development Plan, Vesting Tentative Tract Maps, and a Development Agreement
for the Dublin Fallon 580 Project, which Resolution is incorporated herein by reference and
available for review at City Hall during normal business hours.
H. A Staff Report dated July 16, 2024, and incorporated herein by reference, described and
analyzed the Project, including the Planned Development Zoning Stage 1 Development Plan
Amendment and Stage 2 Development Plan, for the City Council.
I. The City Council considered the Addendum to the EDSP EIRs, and all above referenced
reports, recommendations, and testimony at a properly noticed public hearing prior to taking
action on the Project.
J. On July 16, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 84-24 adopting the CEQA
Addendum and approving a General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Amendment and
Resolution No. 85-24 approving Vesting Tentative Tract Map Nos. 8663,8666, and 8667.

Introduction
Purpose and Objective
The Architectural Guidelines provides the architecture framework for future development within Dublin Fallon 580 with
the goal of high-quality designed homes. These guidelines and the graphic representations contained herein are for
conceptual purposes only. Guidelines with the term “shall” are required and to be implemented; guidelines with the
term “should” are highly recommended. The Architectural Guidelines are organized into two sections: B. Architectural
Components, and C. Architectural Styles. These guidelines are to be used with the Development Standards for the
project, which dictate height, open space and setback requirements.

Architectural Components
The public realm architecture is comprised of building and design
components that include: Building Façades, Roofs and Roof Decks,
Garages, Architectural Details, and Materials and Colors. When
appropriately designed, these components can create visually interesting
streetscapes and human scale environments. This section of the
Architectural Design Guidelines covers architectural components and
addresses Universal Design and Accessory Dwelling Units.
Building Façades
Building Façades constitute all vertical sides of the building: front, sides,
and rear that, together with the roof, creates a building’s mass and scale.
A building’s mass and scale directly impact the overall streetscape of
a neighborhood. To encourage a pedestrian friendly environment and
visually interesting streetscape, the following guidelines are encouraged:
• Stagger wall planes in the horizontal and/or vertical plane, where
appropriate, to break up the elevation to avoid large building
massing.
• Provide projections and recesses in building elevations appropriate
to the architectural style to create shadow and depth.
• Use balconies to create plane breaks in the building elevations.
• Buildings shall be designed with “4-sided” architecture to create
high-quality homes that are human-scale and enhance the public
realm.
• Buildings shall be designed to differentiate a defined base, a middle
or body, and a top, cornice, or parapet cap as appropriate to the
building style.
Staggered wall planes
Use balconies to create plane breaks in the
building elevations.

Variation in roof forms

Landscaping in between garage doors
Roofs and Roof Decks
The building roof provides an important function to the home and to
shaping the skyline and a building’s overall form.
• Variation of roof forms are encouraged to allow for the creation of
an interesting roofscape and streetscape.
• Roof forms can include, but are not limited to, gable, shed, and
hip. Flat roofs may be allowed under the Contemporary Spanish
architectural styles, especially when roof decks are part of the
building design.
• Roof material and color shall complement the architectural style of
the home.
• Roof decks, if implemented, should be designed as an integral part
of the overall building design, consider solar panel requirements,
have adequate railings for safety and privacy, and offer adequate
private open space for residents.
Garages
Garages provide a sheltered space for vehicles and, when thoughtfully
placed and designed, will de-emphasize the vehicle and can add to the
articulation of the overall building form.
• Alley-load buildings with garage in the alley are encouraged to
promote a walkable pedestrian streetscape.
• Garage door recesses into surrounding wall planes, and/or with 2nd
floor above cantilevered are encouraged to help de-emphasize the
garage door.
• Garage door windowlites are allowed and should be appropriate to
the architectural style of the home.
• To soften alleyways with many garage doors, appropriate
landscaping (i.e. small hedges, climbing trellis, etc. ) in between
garage doors is encouraged.

Architectural Details
The Architectural Details of a building help complete the design vision
and can mean the difference between a welcoming street scene with
appeal and one that may be non-inviting and bland. This section includes
guidelines for the following Architectural Details: entryways, windows and
doors, exterior lighting, gutters and down spouts, building addresses, and
mechanical equipment.
Entryways
• Entryways present the threshold between public and private spaces
and are a focal point to the building façade. The following elements

LANDSCAPE DESIGN GUIDELINES
CONCEPT
The Dublin Fallon 580 property comprises of 13.66 acres
designated for high-density multi-family residential
use (Parcels 7 and 8, depicted below with pedestrian
circulation and bicycle connections). The selection
and arrangement of materials, colors, and textures will
create a unified community aesthetic. The overarching
landscape theme will feature vibrant, blossoming
plant life, complemented by evergreen planting that
harmonizes with the architecture and encourages
pedestrian access and connectivity both within the
community and to neighboring areas.
Each entrance to the neighborhoods will have its
own enhanced character while still fitting in with the
surrounding community. The proposed landscaping
will contribute to a strong visual identity. Within the
residential community, the internal streets and sidewalks
will be adorned with various street trees, strategically
positioned to maximize solar exposure. Additionally, low-
growing flowering groundcover will enhance pedestrian
connections to the public sidewalks.
DESIGN PRINCIPLES
• Create an aesthetically pleasing site by carefully
selecting and arranging materials, colors, and textures
that harmonize with the natural open space.
• Offer outdoor amenities to residents, including shaded
paseos and outdoor seating areas.
• Promote a unified neighborhood identity through
distinctive entry branding and consistent site elements.
• Establish a cohesive and inviting atmosphere at
night by implementing street lighting throughout
the neighborhood, ensuring safety, aesthetics, and a
sense of continuity.

STREETS AND ENTRIES
Neighborhood Streets
The neighborhood streets will be carefully designed
to create a well-organized layout that guides both
vehicles and pedestrians throughout the community.
Landscaping will be incorporated along the streets
to create an attractive street scene. Textured paving
materials like stamped asphalt, stamped concrete, or
pavers can be used in crosswalks to visually enhance the
pedestrian pathways.
The selection of street trees will be coordinated with
utilities and street lights to create a continuous canopy of
trees along the streets. Additional trees will be strategically
placed in irregular patterns, and screening trees will be
positioned near building ends to soften the architectural
features. A tiered approach will be employed, incorporating
low-growing groundcover, intermediate shrubs, and
background shrubs to provide a diverse landscape with
seasonal colors and textural contrast. Please refer to the
plant palette for suggested species and required sizes.
Neighborhood Entries
To emphasize the arrival and unique character of
the community, incorporate distinctive plantings or
monuments at entry points. Ensure that the design of
these features aligns with the architectural style of the
surroundings.
Croak Road
The sloped edge along Croak Road should continue the
character of the valley and have a natural and California
landscape. It should include grasses, native plants, trees
and low-lying groundcovers. The east side of Croak Road
is a gentle hillside, shown below.
Open Space Interface Roads
Streets along the open space should have a rural and
lightly landscaped edge that allows for views of the
valley. The opposite site should provide street trees and a
variety of planting.

COMMON LANDSCAPE AREAS
Paseos
Paseos are designated pedestrian walkways within the
community, offering a pleasant and convenient means
of getting around without interference from vehicles. It
is essential to adorn the paseos with carefully selected
plantings that enhance the visual appeal and provide an
enjoyable walking experience. Additionally, incorporating
seating areas, fountains, or sculptures along the paseos
can further enhance the overall ambiance. The paseos
should seamlessly integrate into the overall design of the
residential development.
Alleyways
By strategically considering their placement and design,
garages can be integrated into the landscape in a way
that minimizes their visual prominence and enhances
the overall landscape experience. Introducing suitable
plantings such as small hedges or climbing trellises
between garage doors can soften the appearance of
alleyways.
To safeguard the landscaping from interference by
vehicles or pedestrians, raised planting surfaces,
depressed walkways, or curbs should be employed.
Concrete mow-strips should separate turf and shrub
areas, creating a connected network of pathways, and
incorporating focal elements along sight lines.

Pocket parks
POCKET PARKS
Pocket parks are small green spaces nestled into the
fabric of an urban neighborhood that provide public
space for social engagement, relaxation, and exercise.
Pocket parks typically feature seating opportunities,
aesthetic landscaping, and other amenities that improve
the physical and psychological well-being of local
residents. Pocket parks often fill irregularly shaped or
underutilized lots and can serve as focal points of activity
and interest for the surrounding population.
Pocket parks also offer convenient points of access for
emergency vehicles by connecting the inner community
zone to the external arterial roads. This is achieved
through the strategic placement of durable and weather-
resistant hardscape materials that can support heavy
vehicles, for example, a full-sized fire engine. Hardscape
treatments such as decorative pavers provide a unique
plaza experience for visitors while ensuring safety and
efficiency for emergency responders.

Parcel 7
There is an opportunity for a pocket park within Parcel
7. This common green space would directly serve
the adjacent residential buildings and provide a key
connection to to the existing developement and park. In
addition to an open area for social gathering, the pocket
park would feature a pedestrian and bicycle connection
to the Neighborhood Square park to the north, a green
landscaped perimeter, and outdoor site elements such as
benches and lighting.
Parcel 8
There is an opportunity for a pocket park in the northern
area within Parcel 8. This common green space would
directly serve the adjacent 5-plex residential building and
provide a key connection to Central Parkway. In addition
to an open area for social gathering, the pocket park
would feature a pedestrian and bicycle connection to
East Ranch, a green landscaped perimeter, and outdoor
site elements such as benches and lighting.
There is an additional pocket park opportunity along
the western edge of Parcel 8 with frontage to Croak
Road. This area may potentially offer additional common
space and seating opportunities to improve quality of
life and community cohesion. This location could provide
direct pedestrian and bicycle access to the sidewalk
and supplement neighborhood connections to the
surrounding circulation network.

LANDSCAPE DESIGN GUIDELINES
FENCES AND WALLS
The landscape system encompasses community theme
walls, fencing, and front yard planting. Each element of
the landscape is carefully designed to reflect the unique
character and exceptional quality of the community.
Typically, fences will be positioned away from the view
triangles at intersections to ensure visibility and safety.
Where necessary, breaks in the fence, removable sections,
or gates will be incorporated to allow for maintenance
access to adjacent utilities, such as water quality basins.
Good Neighbor Fence - The good neighbor fence should
be located between lots. The design is a vertical board
wood fence, 6’ tall with caps and fascia boards. Wood 4x4
posts are located at a minimum of 8’ on center.
Lattice Top Fence - This fence should be used parallel to
the front of the home. Where side yards abut a residential
street, the lattice fence will also be used. Where the fence
is adjacent to the street, a 3 foot landscape buffer, at a
minimum, is provided between the walkway and fence.
Open Space Interface Fence - This fence should be
utilized along the wildfire buffer lots where they abut
open space. The fence should not exceed 4 feet in height.
Concrete Split Rail Fence - This fence is utilized in the
landscape along the southern sidewalks of street B
serving as a thematic element to keep pedestrians out of
water quality basins.
CMU Block Wall - Use split face CMU block wall where
needed to retain throughout the community. Tree
plantings for screening on the retaining wall slope are
discussed in the following section.
6’ LATTICE TOP FENCE
Location:
Fence is setback a minimum of 5’ from front facade. This fence is used
parallel to the front of the home. Where side yards abut a residential street,

PLANTING DESIGN
The landscaping should elevate the overall quality of
the neighborhood by framing and softening the look
of structures, delineating site functions, and providing
screening and buffering from adjacent uses. Whenever
feasible, landscaped areas should follow a three-tiered
planting approach: 1) trees, taking into account the
available planting space; 2) shrubs; and 3) grasses, ground
covers, and vines. Utilize tree patterns and structure to
emphasize entries, create edges, provide privacy, and
itnegrate open space. This ensures a visually appealing
landscape design. This is not an exhaustive list and
development plans may include others that appropriate
for the project and microclimate.
Plant material should be selected appropriately for
location and microclimate. Provide a combination of
evergreen, deciduous and flowering trees. A variety of
flowering, variegated, and evergreen shrubs should be
mixed to maintain visual interest and seasonal diversity.
Emphasis will be placed on the use of low-water, climate-
adapted, and deer-resistant plant materials. Plants
should be selected and spaced appropriately for their
mature size to ensure healthy growth and to reduce
trimming and shearing. Micro-climates, soil conditions,
and irrigation water quality must be considered in plant
selection. Plants with similar watering needs should be
planted together to prevent under or over watering.

LANDSCAPE DESIGN GUIDELINES
CONCEPT
The Dublin Fallon 580 property comprises of 13.66 acres
designated for high-density multi-family residential
use (Parcels 7 and 8, depicted below with pedestrian
circulation and bicycle connections). The selection
and arrangement of materials, colors, and textures will
create a unified community aesthetic. The overarching
landscape theme will feature vibrant, blossoming
plant life, complemented by evergreen planting that
harmonizes with the architecture and encourages
pedestrian access and connectivity both within the
community and to neighboring areas.
Each entrance to the neighborhoods will have its
own enhanced character while still fitting in with the
surrounding community. The proposed landscaping
will contribute to a strong visual identity. Within the
residential community, the internal streets and sidewalks
will be adorned with various street trees, strategically
positioned to maximize solar exposure. Additionally, low-
growing flowering groundcover will enhance pedestrian
connections to the public sidewalks.
DESIGN PRINCIPLES
•Create an aesthetically pleasing site by carefully
selecting and arranging materials, colors, and textures
that harmonize with the natural open space.
•Offer outdoor amenities to residents, including shaded
paseos and outdoor seating areas.
•Promote a unified neighborhood identity through
distinctive entry branding and consistent site elements.
•Establish a cohesive and inviting atmosphere at
night by implementing street lighting throughout
the neighborhood, ensuring safety, aesthetics, and a
sense of continuity.

STREETS AND ENTRIES
Neighborhood Streets
The neighborhood streets will be carefully designed
to create a well-organized layout that guides both
vehicles and pedestrians throughout the community.
Landscaping will be incorporated along the streets
to create an attractive street scene. Textured paving
materials like stamped asphalt, stamped concrete, or
pavers can be used in crosswalks to visually enhance the
pedestrian pathways.
The selection of street trees will be coordinated with
utilities and street lights to create a continuous canopy of
trees along the streets. Additional trees will be strategically
placed in irregular patterns, and screening trees will be
positioned near building ends to soften the architectural
features. A tiered approach will be employed, incorporating
low-growing groundcover, intermediate shrubs, and
background shrubs to provide a diverse landscape with
seasonal colors and textural contrast. Please refer to the
plant palette for suggested species and required sizes.
Neighborhood Entries
To emphasize the arrival and unique character of
the community, incorporate distinctive plantings or
monuments at entry points. Ensure that the design of
these features aligns with the architectural style of the
surroundings.
Croak Road
The sloped edge along Croak Road should continue the
character of the valley and have a natural and California
landscape. It should include grasses, native plants, trees
and low-lying groundcovers. The east side of Croak Road
is a gentle hillside, shown below.
Open Space Interface Roads
Streets along the open space should have a rural and
lightly landscaped edge that allows for views of the
valley. The opposite site should provide street trees and a
variety of planting.

COMMON LANDSCAPE AREAS
Paseos
Paseos are designated pedestrian walkways within the
community, offering a pleasant and convenient means
of getting around without interference from vehicles. It
is essential to adorn the paseos with carefully selected
plantings that enhance the visual appeal and provide an
enjoyable walking experience. Additionally, incorporating
seating areas, fountains, or sculptures along the paseos
can further enhance the overall ambiance. The paseos
should seamlessly integrate into the overall design of the
residential development.
Alleyways
By strategically considering their placement and design,
garages can be integrated into the landscape in a way
that minimizes their visual prominence and enhances
the overall landscape experience. Introducing suitable
plantings such as small hedges or climbing trellises
between garage doors can soften the appearance of
alleyways.
To safeguard the landscaping from interference by
vehicles or pedestrians, raised planting surfaces,
depressed walkways, or curbs should be employed.
Concrete mow-strips should separate turf and shrub
areas, creating a connected network of pathways, and
incorporating focal elements along sight lines.

Pocket parks
POCKET PARKS
Pocket parks are small green spaces nestled into the
fabric of an urban neighborhood that provide public
space for social engagement, relaxation, and exercise.
Pocket parks typically feature seating opportunities,
aesthetic landscaping, and other amenities that improve
the physical and psychological well-being of local
residents. Pocket parks often fill irregularly shaped or
underutilized lots and can serve as focal points of activity
and interest for the surrounding population.
Pocket parks also offer convenient points of access for
emergency vehicles by connecting the inner community
zone to the external arterial roads. This is achieved
through the strategic placement of durable and weather-
resistant hardscape materials that can support heavy
vehicles, for example, a full-sized fire engine. Hardscape
treatments such as decorative pavers provide a unique
plaza experience for visitors while ensuring safety and
efficiency for emergency responders.

Parcel 7
There is an opportunity for a pocket park within Parcel
7. This common green space would directly serve
the adjacent residential buildings and provide a key
connection to to the existing developement and park. In
addition to an open area for social gathering, the pocket
park would feature a pedestrian and bicycle connection
to the Neighborhood Square park to the north, a green
landscaped perimeter, and outdoor site elements such as
benches and lighting.
Parcel 8
There is an opportunity for a pocket park in the northern
area within Parcel 8. This common green space would
directly serve the adjacent 5-plex residential building and
provide a key connection to Central Parkway. In addition
to an open area for social gathering, the pocket park
would feature a pedestrian and bicycle connection to
East Ranch, a green landscaped perimeter, and outdoor
site elements such as benches and lighting.
There is an additional pocket park opportunity along
the western edge of Parcel 8 with frontage to Croak
Road. This area may potentially offer additional common
space and seating opportunities to improve quality of
life and community cohesion. This location could provide
direct pedestrian and bicycle access to the sidewalk
and supplement neighborhood connections to the
surrounding circulation network.

LANDSCAPE DESIGN GUIDELINES
FENCES AND WALLS
The landscape system encompasses community theme
walls, fencing, and front yard planting. Each element of
the landscape is carefully designed to reflect the unique
character and exceptional quality of the community.
Typically, fences will be positioned away from the view
triangles at intersections to ensure visibility and safety.
Where necessary, breaks in the fence, removable sections,
or gates will be incorporated to allow for maintenance
access to adjacent utilities, such as water quality basins.
Good Neighbor Fence - The good neighbor fence should
be located between lots. The design is a vertical board
wood fence, 6’ tall with caps and fascia boards. Wood 4x4
posts are located at a minimum of 8’ on center.
Lattice Top Fence - This fence should be used parallel to
the front of the home. Where side yards abut a residential
street, the lattice fence will also be used. Where the fence
is adjacent to the street, a 3 foot landscape buffer, at a
minimum, is provided between the walkway and fence.
Open Space Interface Fence - This fence should be
utilized along the wildfire buffer lots where they abut
open space. The fence should not exceed 4 feet in height.
Concrete Split Rail Fence - This fence is utilized in the
landscape along the southern sidewalks of street B
serving as a thematic element to keep pedestrians out of
water quality basins.
CMU Block Wall - Use split face CMU block wall where
needed to retain throughout the community. Tree
plantings for screening on the retaining wall slope are
discussed in the following section.
6’ LATTICE TOP FENCE
Location:
Fence is setback a minimum of 5’ from front facade. This fence is used

PLANTING DESIGN
The landscaping should elevate the overall quality of
the neighborhood by framing and softening the look
of structures, delineating site functions, and providing
screening and buffering from adjacent uses. Whenever
feasible, landscaped areas should follow a three-tiered
planting approach: 1) trees, taking into account the
available planting space; 2) shrubs; and 3) grasses, ground
covers, and vines. Utilize tree patterns and structure to
emphasize entries, create edges, provide privacy, and
itnegrate open space. This ensures a visually appealing
landscape design. This is not an exhaustive list and
development plans may include others that appropriate
for the project and microclimate.
Plant material should be selected appropriately for
location and microclimate. Provide a combination of
evergreen, deciduous and flowering trees. A variety of
flowering, variegated, and evergreen shrubs should be
mixed to maintain visual interest and seasonal diversity.
Emphasis will be placed on the use of low-water, climate-
adapted, and deer-resistant plant materials. Plants
should be selected and spaced appropriately for their
mature size to ensure healthy growth and to reduce
trimming and shearing. Micro-climates, soil conditions,
and irrigation water quality must be considered in plant
selection. Plants with similar watering needs should be
planted together to prevent under or over watering.
