In response to residential development applications from Eden Development Group and Schaefer Heights, Inc., and later, the Milestone Land Development Corporation, the City of Dublin undertook the Western Dublin Study to plan for the future development of the Western Dublin Expanded Planning Area. 2. The City Council and Planning Commission conducted three joint public study sessions relating to planning issues in western Dublin. The December 13, 1989 study session identified existing site conditions in the study area and described the site's development constraints and opportunities. The February 28, 1991 study session considered different land use options for the study area and chose the applicants' proposals as the preferred alternative for further study. The November 11, 1991 study session addressed visual and parkland issues in the study area. 3. With the identification of a preferred alternative on February 28, 1991, the City prepared a Draft General Plan Amendment and Draft Specific Plan to plan for the future development of a residential community of single-family and multiple family residences with supporting community and commercial facilities, together with an 18-hole championship golf course and other park and open space facilities. 4. The Draft Specific Plan, dated December, 1991, implements the Western Dublin General Plan Amendment by providing a detailed framework, including policies, standards and implementation programs, for evaluation of development projects proposed in Western Dublin. 5. Pursuant to State Law, the Western Dublin Draft Specific Plan was prepared and reviewed in the same manner as a general plan amendment. 6. A Staff Report dated December 16, 1991 was prepared for the Western Dublin Draft Specific Plan, which report summarized the Specific Plan and identified related discussion topics. 7.

Based on comments received during the public hearings, related text revisions, dated April 2, 1992 were made to the Draft Specific Plan and were reviewed by the Planning Commission on April 6, 1992. 9. The Draft Specific Plan was reviewed in accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act through the preparation and review of an Final Environmental Impact Report. On April 20, 1992, by Res. No. 92-023, the Planning Commission recommended certification of the Final Environmental Impact Report. 10.
