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 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 General Plan Amendment, dated December 1991,
designates the proposed general distribution and general location
and extent of the uses of Western Dublin for residential,
commercial, industrial, public, open space and parks and
recreation, and other categories of public and private uses of
land.

of standards of population density and standards of building
intensity for Western Dublin.

Law, it is the function and duty of the Planning Commission of
the City of Dublin to review and recommend action on proposed
amendments to the City's General Plan.

Commmission on April 6, 1992.
