SUBJECT:
Dublin Centre DA Amendment (PLPA-004414-2026
Prepared by: Amy Million, Community Development Director
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Applicant, Landsea Homes of California, LLC, is requesting approval of a First
Amendment to the Development Agreement (Ordinance No. 15-22) for the SCS Dublin Project
(aka Dublin Centre). The request is focused on amending Section 5.9’s restrictions on the
issuance of residential building permits until a permit is issued for the non-residential portions
of the Project. The Planning Commission will consider the proposed amendment and make a
recommendation to City Council. The Planning Commission will also consider and make a
recommendation to the City Council regarding a finding that the proposed amendment is
covered by the SCS Dublin Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and no further environmental
review is required.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Conduct a public hearing, deliberate, and adopt a Resolution, recommending City Council
Approval of a First Amendment to the Development Agreement for the SCS Dublin Project
Between the City of Dublin and Landsea Homes of California, LLC.
DESCRIPTION:
Background
On November 15, 2022, the City Council approved the SCS Dublin Project through Resolution
136-22, which includes development of up to 650 residential units and up to 265,000 square
feet of retail commercial development on approximately 76.2 acres north of Interstate 580
between Tassajara Road and Brannigan Street.
The project represented the first step in implementing the Preferred Vision for the SCS
Property, which stemmed from an extensive City-led community outreach process focused on
identifying appropriate land uses for one of the City’s last major undeveloped gateway sites.
The adopted vision emphasized creation of a pedestrian -oriented mixed-use district integrating
housing, entertainment, retail, open space, and community gathering areas.
11
Page 2 of 4
A key component of that vision was the creation of a neighborhood -serving commercial
corridor along Finnian Way featuring small shops, restaurants, outdoor gathering spaces, and
“Shophouse” residential units with ground-floor commercial space. The broader project also
envisioned a regional entertainment district south of Dublin Boulevard intended to create a
regional dining and entertainment destination.
On December 6, 2022, the City entered into a Development Agreement with SCS
Development Company for the development of the SCS Dublin property. The Development
Agreement encompasses the entirety of the 76.2 -acre; however, in accordance with Section
9.2.1 of the Development Agreement, a partial assignment was executed in May 2024 for the
Development Agreement, which excluded New Homes from the obligations set forth in Section
8.1 Northside Drive and 8.2. Brannigan Street Extension. SCS Property retains those
obligations. That project is now referred to as the Dublin Centre is under construction.
The adopted a Development Agreement established vested development rights and project
phasing requirements intended to ensure that the residential portions of the project would not
wholly develop in advance of the commercial portions of the site. Specifically, Section 5.9.2 of
the Development Agreement prohibited issuance of building permits for for-sale, market rate
residential units until improvement plans had been approved, bonds posted, and a building
permit issued for construction of a non-residential building within the Finnian Way Commercial
Area.
The phasing requirement was intended to support the City’s long-term vision for the site by
ensuring that the commercial corridor would develop concurrently with the surrounding
residential neighborhoods and would not be deferred indefinitely.
Market Conditions and Commercial Leasing Considerations
As construction of the residential portions of the project has progressed, the Applicant has
indicated that additional residential development, completed infrastructure, and surrounding
site activation are needed to support the long-term success of the Finnian Way commercial
corridor and strengthen tenant attraction and leasing activity. The Applicant has expressed that
many commercial users prefer to lease space in projects where nearby residential
neighborhoods, streets, utilities, landscaping, and surrounding vertical construction are
substantially complete or actively occupied.
Staff acknowledges that the commercial portions of the project are intended to function as an
integrated mixed-use environment rather than isolated retail center. Completion of nearby
residential development and supporting infrastructure is anticipated to help create a more
complete and marketable commercial setting aligned with the original vision for the project.
Additional occupied residential units will help establish the customer base, activity levels, and
market confidence necessary to support long-term commercial viability.
Proposed Amendment
The Applicant is requesting approval of a First Amendment to the Development Agreement to
further modify the project’s phasing provisions. The proposed amendment would allow the
12
Page 3 of 4
developer to pull building permits for up to 250 for-sale, market rate residential units prior to
issuance of building permits for the non-residential buildings within the Finnian Way
Commercial Area. Prior to issuance of the 251st residential building permit, the developer
would be required to pull building permits for all five approved non -residential buildings within
the Finnian Way Commercial Area and continue mak ing commercially reasonable efforts
toward vertical construction of those buildings to saleable/leasable condition.
Staff believes the proposed amendment continues to uphold the City’s original intent of
ensuring balanced development between the residential and commercial portions of the project
while also responding to market realities associated with commercial leasing, tenant attraction,
phased site development, and the need to further activate the site prior to full commercial
buildout.
Consistency with the General Plan, Specific Plan and Zoning Ordinance
The proposed amendment to the development agreement is consistent with the General Plan
and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan which allow for a variety of residential and commercial uses
in this area of Dublin that the proposed project will achieve. The General Plan encourages
projects to relate well to the surrounding developments, and the proposed project is compatible
with the surrounding neighborhood that includes residential, public park, commercial, and
office uses. The proposed amendment continues to support the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan
which states that mixed-use buildings and complexes are strongly encouraged in the Town
Center.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
In compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), on November 15, 2022,
the
City Council certified the Final EIR for the SCS Dublin Project, which included up to 650
residential units, up to 265,000 square feet of retail commercial development and related
infrastructure and landscape improvements. The EIR included the following permits and
approvals from the City of Dublin as part of the project: General Plan Amendment, Specific
Plan Amendment, Planned Development Rezone (Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Pla n),
Development Agreement, Tentative Tract Map(s) / Parcel Map(s), Site Development Review
Permit(s), Grading and Improvement Plans and Building Permits. Upon approval of the SCS
Dublin Project, the City Council adopted a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program and a
Statement of Overriding Considerations (Resolution No. 135 -22).
The proposed project is within the scope of the project covered by the SCS Dublin EIR. The
circumstances under which the project is to be undertaken have not substantially cha nged
since the SCS Dublin EIR was prepared and will not substantially change with approval of the
project. As supported by the project description, the proposed amendment to the Development
Agreement, the EIR adequately describes the impacts of the project for the purposes of CEQA
and no mitigation measures or new alternatives are required by the project other than those
previously disclosed and analyzed in the SCS Dublin EIR. Approval of the amendment to the
development agreement will not create any site‐specific operations giving rise to environmental
effects different from those examined by the EIR or requiring the preparation of an Initial Study.
13
Page 4 of 4
The proposed project is subject to the SCS Dublin EIR Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program. Consequently, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, the project impacts are
covered by the SCS Dublin EIR and no further environmental review is required for this project.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
In accordance with State law, a Public Notice was mailed to all property owners and occupants
within 300 feet of the subject property. A Public Notice was also published in the East Bay
Times and posted at several locations throughout the City. A copy of this Staff Report was
posted on the City’s website and provided to the Applicant.
