1. 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. The Planning Commission held a duly noticed public
hearing on the Western Dublin Draft Specific Plan on December 16,
1991, which hearing was continued to January 6, 1992, January 14,
1992, and March 16, 1992.
8. 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.

testimony submitted at the public hearings.

Plan Amendment.
