TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Colleen Tribby, City Manager
SUBJECT:
First Amendment to the Development Agreement for the SCS Dublin
Project (Dublin Centre) (PLPA-004414-2026)
Prepared by: Amy Million, Community Development Director
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider a request by the applicant, Landsea Homes of California LLC, to
approve a First Amendment to the Development Agreement for the SCS Dublin Project (Dublin
Centre). The request is focused on amending Section 5.9 and the restrictions associated with
the issuance of residential building permits until a permit is issued for the non -residential
portions of the project. The City Council will also consider a finding that the proposed
amendment is covered by the SCS Dublin Environmental Impact Report and no further
environmental review is required.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Conduct a public hearing, deliberate, waive the reading, and introduce an Ordinance
Approving a First Amendment to the Development Agreement for the SCS Dublin Project
Between the City of Dublin and Landsea Homes of California, LLC.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
All costs associated with the processing of the application are paid by the applicant.
DESCRIPTION:
Background
On November 15, 2022 the City Council approved the SCS Dublin Project (Resolution No.
136-22), which includes development of up to 650 residential units and up to 265,000 square
feet of retail commercial development on 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 Dublin
Project, 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.
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
shophouses (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 property (Ordinance No. 15 -22). The Development
Agreement encompasses the entirety of the 76.2 acres; however, in accordance with Section
9.2.1 of the Development Agreement, a partial assignment and assumption was executed in
May 2024 assigning a portion of the 76.2 acres from SCS Development Company to Landsea
Homes of California LLC. Subsequently, in May 2025 New Home Co. acquired Landsea
Homes, and merged the two entities into a new national brand under the name Risewell
Homes.
The 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. On November 25, 2024 the
City and the Applicant entered into a letter agreement to clarify how Section 5.9.2 would apply
to the initial phase of construction. The clarification was intended to allow the first residential
units and the first shophouse buildings to proceed together, recognizing that the shophouse
buildings contain ground-floor commercial space and therefore advance the commercial
corridor concurrently with the initial residential construction. The letter agreement was
executed pursuant to Section 9.4 of the Development Agreement and allowed building permits
to be issued for up to 74 for-sale, market-rate residential units in advance of a building permit
for a non-residential building within the Finnian Way Commercial Area. The 74 units were
required to include units within at least two shophouse buildings containing ground-floor retail
condominium spaces, and the Applicant was required to continue making commercially
reasonable efforts toward construction of the non-residential portions of the project.
1921

Market Conditions and Commercial Leasing Considerations
As construction of the residential portions of the project has progressed, including backbone
infrastructure, vertical construction of residential units, and two shophouse buildings within the
Finnian Way Commercial Area, 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 neighbo rhoods, 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 an 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 November 2024 letter agreement addressed phasing for the initial 74 residential units and
the first shophouse buildings. The Applicant is now requesting approval of a First Amendment
to the Development Agreement to address the broader phasing relationship between the
residential neighborhoods and the full Finnian Way Commercial Area. The proposed
amendment would allow the 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 making commercially
reasonable efforts toward vertical construction of those buildings to saleable/leasable
condition.
The 250-unit threshold represents half of the residential units approved for the project, and the
trigger for the 251st permit is tied to building permits for all five approved non-residential
buildings rather than a single non-residential building as required in the original agreement.
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.
Planning Commission Review
The Planning Commission considered the proposed amendment at their regular meeting on
May 26, 2026 and recommended approval.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
In compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), on November 15, 2022
the City Council certified the Final Environmental Impact Report (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 Plan), 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 changed
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. 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.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
None.
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.

APPROVING A FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR THE SCS
DUBLIN PROJECT BETWEEN THE CITY OF DUBLIN AND LANDSEA HOMES OF
CALIFORNIA, LLC
(PLPA-004414-2026)
(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 (aka 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 bound by Tassajara Road, Gleason Drive, Brannigan Stree t.
B. The Applicant is developing the 54-acre portion of the Dublin Centre project north 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 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. The requested approval or
“Project” is a First Amendment to the Development Agreement.
C. 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.
The proposed amendment to the Development Agreement does not result in any impacts
beyond what was previously analyzed in the EIR.
D. The proposed First Amendment to the Development Agreement for the SCS Dublin Project
is attached to this Ordinance as Exhibit A.
E. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed First Amendment to the
Development Agreement on May 26, 2026, for which public notice was given by law.
F. The Planning Commission recommended that the City Council approve the First Amendment
to the Development Agreement for the SCS Dublin Project by Resolution No. 05-26.
1924
