A new detention facility was constructed north of the project site in 1989. The project site was zoned Planned Development (PD) Business Park/Industrial: Low Coverage when it was annexed to the City in 1986. This zoning designation was consistent with the general plan land use designation for the site, which was Business Park/Industrial: Low Coverage. The project site is located within the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. The Dublin City Council adopted a general plan amendment and specific plan for eastern Dublin on May 10, 1993. There was a referendum on the project and the Dublin voters approved the project on November 2, 1993. The new general plan and specific plan land use designation for the site is General Commercial. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS: Government Code Section 65402 (b) provides that a county shall not dispose of property or construct a public building or structure within the corporate limits of a city if that city has adopted a general plan and such general plan is applicable thereto until the location, purpose and extent of such acquisition or disposition of the public building or structure have been submitted to and reported upon by the city's planning agency as to the conformity with the city's general plan. The annexation agreement between the County of Alameda, the Surplus Property Authority of Alameda County and the City of Dublin regarding transfer of property tax revenues upon annexation, provision of services and other matters was approved by the Dublin City Council on May 10, 1993. The agreement states that any development or use of the Santa Rita property shall comply with the Dublin General Plan, any applicable specific plan (i.e. Eastern Dublin Specific Plan), Zoning Ordinance, Municipal Code and other regulations and resolutions relating to land use. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The project has been found to be Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15312, Class 12 of the State CEQA Guidelines. This project consists of the sales of surplus government property that is not located in an area of state wide, regional or area wide concern.

Table 4.1 summarizes land use acreages in the planning area by the designations described below. 4.8.1 RESIDENTIAL R„ra1 Residential/A i lture (.01 units per gross residential acre). Accommodates agricultural activities and other open space uses, such as range and watershed management, consis- tent with the site conditions and plan policies. This classification includes privately held lands, as well as public ownerships not otherwise designated in the plan for Parks and Open Space, or Public/Semi-Public uses. Assumed household size is 3.2 persons per unit. Single F' i (0.9 to 6.0 units per gross residential acre). Accommodates the majority of the planning area's detached single family housing, including a wide range of units from small -lot and zero -lot -line units to large lot estate units. Assumed household size is 3.2 persons per unit. Medium Density (6.1 to 14.0 units per gross residential acre). Provides for a mix of single family detached and attached units and multi -family units. The density range allows for detached, zero -lot line, duplex, townhouse, and garden apartment development. It is intended that within areas with this designa- tion, that dwelling unit types and densities would be varied to accommodate a range of housing needs. Assumed household size is 2.0 persons per unit. Medium High Density (14.1 to 25.0 units per gross residential acre). Provides for apartment, condominium, and townhouse development. Projects at the upper end of this range may require some under -structure parking and may need three or more stories in order to meet zoning ordinance open space requirements. Assumed household size is 2.0 persons per unit. ffigh Density(25.1 or more units per gross residential acre). Provides for apartment and condominium development in the Town Center. Development at these densities must meet the majority of their parking requirements with under -structure parking. With careful design, densities of up to 100 units per acre can be achieved without exceeding four stories. Assumed household size is 2.0 persons per unit. : The Plan allows some low and medium density residential uses within the Livermore APA. If, at the time of prezoning, the residential designations are inconsistent with the APA, the residential designations will convert to `Future Study Area' with an underlying rural residential/agriculture destination. The `Future Study Area' designation is an indication of the City of Dublin's interest in the area and the need for additional studies of environmental constraints, future land uses, infra- structure, and other issues. No land use determinations would be made in this designation until more information is available to determine the most suitable type of development or preserva- tion for the area. 4.8.2 COMMERCIAL Genl ommercial (.20 to .60 Floor Area Ratio). Accommo- dates a range of regional- and community -serving retail, service, and office uses. Mixed use projects incorporating retail, service, and/or office uses are encouraged, with residential uses also allowed as part of the mix when location and design ensure compatibility. nthComma (.25 to .60 Floor Area Ratio). Provides for the creation of community- and neighborhood - oriented commercial centers that serve the retail, service, and entertainment needs of eastern Dublin. Mixed -use projects incorporating combinations of commercial, service, office, and/ or residential uses are strongly encouraged. us ranOffice (.25 to .60 Floor Area Ratio). Provides an attractive, campus -like setting for office and other non -retail commercial uses that do not generate nuisances related to emissions, noise, odors, or outdoor storage and operations. Ancillary uses which provide support services to businesses and employees are permitted. Under special circumstances (e.g., where a mixed -use development would decrease potential traffic generation and/or contribute to greater social interaction and more vital live/work environment), residential uses may be permitted as part of a masterplanned mixed use development in such developments, the residential component would not be permitted to occupy more than 50% of the developed area A floor area ratio of up t�12 maybe granted at the discretion of the City Council for the 37 -acre parcel adjacent to the eastern Dublin BART station in the southwest quadrant of Hacienda Drive and Dublin Boulevard. A 5 -acre hotel site is anticipated within this 37 -acre parcel. The precise location of the hotel site will be established through the planned development application process. N�tg: There are several areas indicated on the land use map that could develop as either general commercial or campus office uses. This flexibility has beery provided in these key areas to PAGE L?
