On May 18, 2010 the City Council adopted a General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan
Amendment, and a Planned Development Rezone with a related Stage 1 Development Plan
(Attachments 1 and 2). These approvals changed the land use designation from Campus Office
to Mixed Use 2/Campus Office which allows two options for development of up to 496,519
square feet. Option 1 allows a mixed use development and permits up to 50% of the
development area to be comprised of residential uses while Option 2 allows a campus office
development. These approvals anticipated the mixed use development to be built as an
integrated project. The Mixed Use 2/Campus Office Land Use Designation is described as
follows:
This designation provides for a mix of uses including residential, live-work and
shopkeeper units, and non-residential uses such as office, retail, restaurants,
hotel and entertainment facilities or Campus Office uses consistent with the
Campus Office land use designation. The floor area ratio applies to both
development options (Mixed Use and Campus Office) and is for the combined
commercial and residential uses, if residential uses are incorporated or for
commercial uses if commercial is used exclusively. The residential component
shall not exceed 50% of the development square footage. Gas stations are not
permitted.

Taylor Morrison LLC has submitted a pre-application, with the property owner's authorization,
for 122 townhomes on the eastern portion of the project site. Should this request move forward,
it would require approval of a Planned Development Zoning Stage 2 Development Plan and Site
Development Review permit. Staff is currently reviewing this request to ensure that it is
consistent with the existing entitlements to create an integrated mixed use project.
At the City Council's request, this Study Session will provide an opportunity to discuss the
property owner's vision for future development of the overall Grafton Plaza project site and
provide input regarding that vision. The property owner will make a presentation to the City
Council during this Study Session and seek input on areas that they have identified as key to
the future development.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
A Public Notice is not required to provide an update to the City Council and to seek policy
direction. A copy of the Staff Report was provided to the property owner and was also made
available on the City's website.
