A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
APPROVING PA 00-009 BLACK MOUNTAIN DEVELOPMENT
SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW FOR SEVEN SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES
ON EXISTING LOTS ON BRITTANY LANE
WHEREAS, Black Mountain Development has requested approval of a Site Development Review for
seven single family homes on existing lots on Brittany Lane; and
WHEREAS, a completed application for Site Development Review is available and on file in the Dublin
Planning Department; and
WHEREAS, The environmental impacts of this project were addressed under the Negative Declaration
prepared for the PA 85-035 Hatfield Development Corporation Planned Development Rezone, Annexation and
Site Development Review of which the subject lots were a part. The Negative Declaration was prepared in
accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), State CEQA Guidelines and the City of
Dublin Environmental Guidelines. Further,the project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to Section 15304,
Class 4, minor public or private alterations in the condition of the land, water, and/or vegetation which do not
involve removal of healthy, mature, scenic trees except for forestry and agricultural purposes. Specifically,
Example"I", Fuel management activities within 30 feet of structures to reduce the volume of flammable
vegetation,provided that the activities will not result in the taking of endangered, rare, or threatened plant or
animal species or significant erosion and sedimentation of surface waters. This exemption shall apply to fuel
management activities within 100 feet of a structure if the public agency having fire protection responsibility for
the area has determined that 100 feet of fuel clearance is required due to extra hazardous fire conditions. This
project is adjacent to a wildfire area and the 1997 Uniform Fire Code requires 100 feet of fuel clearance for this
project; and
WHEREAS, a Site Development Review is required for this project by Conditions 4 and 12 of City
Council Resolution 82-85 approving PA 85-035.3, Hatfield Development Corporation Investec, Inc.; and
WHEREAS,the project is consistent in all respects with the Heritage Tree Ordinance; and
WHEREAS,the project is consistent in all respects with Dublin General Plan and Zoning Ordinance; and
WHEREAS,the project is consistent in all respects with the conditions of approval of City Council
Resolution 82-85; and
WHEREAS, the project is consistent in all respects with the Heritage Tree Ordinance; and
WHEREAS,the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing on said application on December 12,
2000; and
WHEREAS, proper notice of said hearing was given in all respects as required by law; and
WHEREAS, a staff report was submitted to the Planning Commission recommending approval of the Site
Development Review subject to conditions prepared by Staff; and
WHEREAS,the Planning Commission did hear and use their independent judgement and considered all
said reports, recommendations and testimony hereinabove set forth.
NOW,THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin Planning Commission does hereby
make the following findings and determinations regarding said proposed Site Development Review:
A. The approval of this application(PA 00-009) is consistent with the intent/purpose of Section
8.104 (Site Development Review)of the Zoning Ordinance.
B. The approval of this application, as conditioned, complies with the policies of the General Plan,
the Zoning Ordinance, the Heritage Tree Ordinance and City Council Resolution 82-85.
C. The approval will not adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing or working in the
vicinity, or be detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare because all applicable
regulations will have been met.
D. Impacts to views have been addressed by sensitive design and siting of the proposed single-
family residences.
E. Impacts to existing slopes and topographic features are addressed in the project through the use
of pier and grade beams and by minimal grading to site the homes and front yards.
F. The approval of this application, as conditioned, is in conformance with regional transportation
and growth management plans.
G. The approval of this application, as conditioned, is in the best interests of the public health,
safety and general welfare as the development is consistent with all laws and ordinances and implements the
requirements of the General Plan, the Zoning Ordinance, the Heritage Tree Ordinance and City Council
Resolution 82-85.
H. The proposed physical site development, including the intensity of development, site layout,
grading, vehicular access, circulation and parking, setbacks, height, walls,public safety and similar elements, as
conditioned, has been designed to provide a desirable environment for the development.
I. Architectural considerations, including the character, scale and quality of the design, the
architectural relationship with the site and other buildings, signs, building materials and colors, screening of
exterior appurtenances, exterior lighting and similar elements have been incorporated into the project and as
conditions of approval in order to insure compatibility of this development with the development's design
concept or theme and the character of surrounding development.
J. Landscape considerations, including the locations,type, size, color,texture and coverage of plant
materials,provisions and similar elements have been considered to insure visual relief and an attractive
environment for the public.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Dublin Planning Commission does
hereby find that:
A. The Black Mountain Development Site Development Review is consistent with the intent of
2
applicable subdivision regulations and related ordinances.
B. The design and improvements of the Black Mountain Development Site Development Review is
consistent with the Dublin General Plan polices as they relate to the subject property in that it is a
single-family residential development consistent with the Single-Family Residential Designation of
the Dublin General Plan.
C. The Black Mountain Development Site Development Review is consistent with the Heritage Tree
Ordinance, City Council Resolution 82-85 and with the City of Dublin Zoning Ordinance.
D. The project site is located adjacent to Rolling Hills Drive and Brittany Lane, on seven existing lots.
Six shallow building pads face on Brittany Lane and on one flag lot on Rolling Hills Drive. The
homes will be supported by the shallow building pads, but the majority of each residence will be
placed on a framework of deep-seated piers and grade beams. This will minimize grading impacts to
the lots. Functional padded exterior living areas are proposed in the front yards and in raised deck
areas. Therefore the site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of single-family residential
development proposed.
E. The environmental impacts of this project were addressed under the Negative Declaration prepared
for the PA 85-035 Hatfield Development Corporation Planned Development Rezone, Annexation
and Site Development Review of which the subject lots were a part. The Negative Declaration was
prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA), State CEQA
Guidelines and the City of Dublin Environmental Guidelines. Further,the project is Categorically
Exempt pursuant to Section 15304, Class 4, minor public or private alterations in the condition of the
land, water, and/or vegetation which do not involve removal of healthy, mature, scenic trees except
for forestry and agricultural purposes. Specifically, Example "I", Fuel management activities within
30 feet of structures to reduce the volume of flammable vegetation, provided that the activities will
not result in the taking of endangered, rare, or threatened plant or animal species or significant
erosion and sedimentation of surface waters. This exemption shall apply to fuel management
activities within 100 feet of a structure if the public agency having fire protection responsibility for
the area has determined that 100 feet of fuel clearance is required due to extra hazardous fire
conditions. This project is adjacent to a wildfire area and the 1997 Uniform Fire Code requires 100
feet of fuel clearance for this project.
