(APNs 985-0051-004, 985-0051-005, 985-0051-006, 985-0052-024, and 985-0052-025)
The Dublin City Council does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. RECITALS
A. The Applicant, Landsea Homes of California LLC (now operating under the name of its parent
company, Risewell Homes), is requesting to amend the Development Agreement with the City
of Dublin for the SCS Dublin Project (Dublin Centre). The Dublin Centre Project site includes
properties identified by Assessor Parcel Numbers 985-0051-004, 985-0051-005, 985-0051-
006, 985-0052-024, and 985-0052-025, an approximately 76.2-acre site generally bounded by
Tassajara Road, Gleason Drive, Brannigan Street, and Dublin Boulevard.
B. On December 6, 2022 the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 15-22 approving a Development
Agreement between the City of Dublin and Award Homes, Inc., SCS Development Company,
and Santa Clara Valley Housing Group, Inc. for the SCS Dublin Project, which was recorded in
the Official Records of Alameda County on January 19, 2023, as document number
2023005968.
C. The Applicant is developing the 54-acre portion of the Dublin Centre Project north of Dublin
Boulevard identified by Assessor Parcel Numbers 985-0051-006, 985-0052-024, and 985-0052-
025. The Development Agreement encompasses the entirety of the 76.2-acre site; however, in
accordance with Section 9.2.1 of the Development Agreement, a partial assignment of the
Development Agreement to the Applicant was executed in May 2024. The requested approval
or “Project” is a First Amendment to the Development Agreement.
D. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), together with the CEQA Guidelines and City
of Dublin CEQA Guidelines and Procedures require that certain projects be reviewed for
environmental impacts and that environmental documents be prepared. The project is the
subject of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), State Clearinghouse No. 2022040022.
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, the proposed amendment to the Development
Agreement does not result in any impacts beyond what was previously analyzed in the EIR and
no further environmental review is required.
E. The proposed First Amendment to the Development Agreement for the SCS Dublin Project is
attached to this Ordinance as Exhibit A.

Dublin General Plan; (c) the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan; (d) the SCS Dublin Project EIR; (e) the Staff
Report; (f) information in the entire record of proceeding for the Project, and on the basis of the

A. The First Amendment to the Development Agreement is consistent with the objectives,
policies, general land uses, and programs specified and contained in the City’s General Plan,

Agreement incorporates the objectives, policies, general land uses, and programs in the
General Plan and Specific Plan and does not amend or modify them; and (b) the Project is
consistent with the fiscal policies of the General Plan and Specific Plan with respect to the
provision of infrastructure and public services.
B. The First Amendment to the Development Agreement is compatible with the uses authorized in,
and the regulations prescribed for, the land use districts in which the real property is located
because the Development Agreement does not amend the uses or regulations in the applicable
land use district.
C. The First Amendment to the Development Agreement is in conformity with public convenience,
general welfare, and good land use policies in that the Developer’s Project will implement land
use guidelines set forth in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and the General Plan as articulated
in Resolution No. 136-22, amending the General Plan and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan,
adopted by the City Council on November 15, 2022.
D. The First Amendment to the Development Agreement will not be detrimental to the health,
safety, and general welfare in that the Developer’s proposed Project will proceed in accordance
with all the programs and policies of the General Plan, Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, and future
Project Approvals and any Conditions of Approval.
E. The First Amendment to the Development Agreement will not adversely affect the orderly
development of property or the preservation of property values in that the project will be
consistent with the General Plan, the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, and future project
approvals.
