Section 2.
FINDINGS AND DETERMINATIONS
A. Pursuant to Section 8.32.070 of the Dublin Municipal Code, the City Council finds as follows:
1. The Winds tar Project Planned Development Zoning including an amended Stage 1
Development Plan and a Stage 2 Development Plan, mef.ts the purpose and intent of Chapter
8.32 because: it provides a comprehensive development :Jlan that is tailored to the residential
land use proposed on the Project site and creates a desi:able use of land that is sensitive to
surrounding land uses by virtue of the layout and design, which is adjacent to Golden Gate
Drive and St. Patrick Way and is in close proximity to Dublin Boulevard, the 1-580 freeway
and the West Dublin BART Station.
2. The PD rezoning with amended Stage 1 Development Plan and the Stage 2 Development Plan
for Windstar will be harmonious and compatible with e;cisting and potential development in
the surrounding area in that: 1) the land uses and site plan establish a residential development;
2) the proposed project is consistent with the type of development, high-density residential,
envisioned in West Dublin BART Specific Plan and the Stage 1 Development Plan, as
amended; 3) the project site has been designed to reduce impacts on the future adjacent
residential development (AMB development) and to be compatible with the community-
serving retail and offices in the vicinity; 4) the project sit::: includes attractive landscaping and
site elements including a location for public art, street trees and light fixtures to create an
attractive landscape palette for the site and create a pedestrian friendly environment on Golden
Gate Drive and St. Patrick Way; 5) the residential development has been attractively designed
Page 1 of7
EXHIBIT A
and is compatible with the neighborhood in which it is located. and 6) the development has
been designed to locate unsightly uses away from the adjacent future residential development.
B. Pursuant to Section 8.120.050.A and B of the Dublin Municipal Code, the City Council finds as
follows:
1. The PD rezoning with amended Stage 1 Development Plan and the Stage 2 Development Plan
for Windstar will be harmonious and compatible with existing and potential development in
the surrounding area in that: 1) the land uses and site plan establish a residential development;
2) the proposed Project is consistent with type of development, high-density residential,
envisioned in the West Dublin BART Specific Plan and the Stage 1 Development Plan, as
amended; 3) the Project site has been designed to reduce impacts on the future adjacent
residential development (AMB development) and to be compatible with the community-
serving retail and offices in the vicinity; 4) the Project site includes attractive landscaping and
site elements including a location for public art, street trees and light fixtures to create an
attractive landscape palette for the site and create a pedestrian friendly environment on Golden
Gate Drive and St. Patrick Way; 5) the residential development has been attractively designed
and is compatible with the neighborhood in which it is located; and 6) the development has
been designed to locate unsightly uses away from the adjacent future residential development.
2. The Project site is physically suitable for the type and ,'ntensity of the zoning district being
proposed because: 1) the Project site will have a dersity of 84 units per acre which is
consistent with the General Plan land use category ofHi~h-Density Residential which permits
25.1 units or more per acre and the amended Residential land use designation of the West
Dublin BART Specific Plan; 2) the proposed Project will include a High-Density Residential
project which is consistent with the General Plan land use designation of High-Density
Residential; 3) the Project site was previously developed, but is currently vacant; 4) the site is
flat and accessible by Golden Gate Drive an existing street and the extension of St. Patrick
Way, which will be constructed adjacent to the site; and S) the site is near 1-580 and the future
West Dublin BART station and is appropriately sited for infill high-density and transit-
oriented development, and is therefore physically suitable for the type and intensity of the
proposed Planned Development Zoning district.
3. The PD rezoning with amended Stage 1 Development Plan and the Stage 2 Development Plan
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 welfare because: the Project will comply with
all applicable development regulations and standards and will implement all adopted
mitigation measures.
4. The PD rezoning with amended Stage 1 Development Plan and the Stage 2 Development Plan
is consistent with the Dublin General Plan and West Dublin BART Specific Plan because: 1)
the proposed amendment to increase the number of residential dwellings on the site is
consistent with the allowable General Plan High Density Residential uses and density,; 2) the
proposed increase in the number of units permitted on the site is consistent with the goal of the
West Dublin BART Specific Plan which seeks to locate residential dwellings in close
proximity to transit opportunities and jobs thereby creatin 5 a transit oriented development, and
which envisions a high-density residential project on tte Project site; and 3) the Windstar
development includes an attractive development with a new building and landscaping which
will promote visual interest of the site from the adjacent properties and the street and will
promote a pedestrian friendly environment once the project is complete.
