1. In response to a proposal for residential development of
the Dublin Ranch property, the City of Dublin undertook the Eastern
Dublin Study to plan for the future development of the eastern
Dublin area.
2. The City Council and Planning Commission conducted three
joint public study sessions and three workshops relating to
planning issues in eastern Dublin.
a. The April 18, 1990, study session considered a land
use concept report containing four land use scenarios and the
consistency of each land use concept with existing general plan
policies. Alternative #4 was considered the preferred land use
concept for environmental study by informal consensus.
b. The August 22, 1990, study session considered
Alternative #4 and a fifth concept (based on the 1986 annexation
agreement with Alameda County). The "Town Center" concept, types
of streets, location and types of parks were discussed.
c. The November 15, 1990, workshop solicited comments
from the public regarding the existing and desired life style
qualities in Dublin and what the public wanted to see in a new
community.
d. The December 6, 1990, workshop continued with a
similar discussion of desired types of commercial development and
discussed circulation systems and parks and open space.
e. The December 18, 1990, workshop presented a
preliminary conceptual land use plan. Input was received on the
transit spine, location of town center, types of residential uses,
location of commercial uses, the concentration of high density
residential uses, and jobs/housing balance.
f. The February 14, 1991, study session considered a
land use plan that incorporated comments made at the three
workshops and included a discussion of major issues, such as the
location of a high school, connection to existing Dublin, size of
streets and types of parks.
