G:\PA#\2004\04-035 GPA Map Update\PC Reso.doc
ATTACHMENT 1
· Removal of the Community Park ("CP") land use designation from 46.1 acres in the
northernmost part of Dublin Ranch, along Fallon Road, and change the land use designation to
Open Space.
· Removal of the Neighborhood Park ("NP") land use designation from the 11.7 acres ofland
held by the East Bay Regional Park District, along northern Tassajara Road, and change the
land use designation to a new land use, "Regional Park" or "RP."
· Change of the Dublin Ranch Community Park to reflect the new acreage included in the Parks
and Recreation Master Plan 2004 Update Illustrative Parks Plan from 80+/- gross acres to a
minimum of 60+/- net acres. In addition, the Jordan Community Park would be retained to the
east of Fallon Road at the size identified in the Master Plan of a minimum of 11.6 net acres.
· The Neighborhood Park ("NP") land use designation for the 12.2 acres ofland included in the
Transit Center General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Amendment (PA 00-013) would
be changed to a "Community Park" land use designation to meet community park needs
identified in the Parks and Recreation Master Plan 2004 Update.
· Addition of a new land use designation, "Semi-Public Facilities" or "SP," to reflect the Semi-
Public Facilities Policy adopted by City Council on February 3, 2004.
· A preliminary connection would be added between the section of Fallon Road north of Central
Parkway and the section south of Central Parkway. The northern section and its location at
Central Parkway were established as part of the Area F North General Plan and Eastern Dublin
Specific Plan Amendment project. Currently, the southern portion intersects Central Parkway
approximately 700 feet from the section approved with the Area F project. The proposed Land
Use Map reflects the intention of the General Plan to continue Fallon Road uninterrupted from
the 1-580 interchange to Tassajara Road by showing a preliminary connection with a dashed
line and the following footnote, "General location of Future Fallon Road connection to Dublin
Boulevard. However, the exact alignment will be determined following further alignment
studies. "
WHEREAS, in addition to the Land Use Maps, amendments to the General Plan and Eastern
Dublin Specific Plan are proposed to make associated text changes. These changes are necessary for
consistency between the Land Use Map and the General Plan and Specific Plan text. The specific
changes that are proposed are stated as follows (changes are underlined and shown in bold face):

Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Section 4.8.3. Public and Semi-Public Facilities (paee 46)
. Amend the land use category for "Public/Semi-Public Facilities" in Section 4.8.3 of the Eastern
Dublin Specific Plan to standardize the category between the Specific Plan and the General Plan;
to reflect the intent of the Semi-Public Facilities Policy adopted by the City Council; and to reflect
the intent of the Dublin Housing Element to provide affordable housing on Semi-Public Facilities
sites. Add a "Semi-Public Facilities" land use to the Land Use Map legend, although no lands
would be designated "Semi-Public Facilities" at this time. Lands would be designated with this
land use type when proposed for such use by a project. Proposed changes to the text of the
Specific Plan are underlined below:
- Public and Semi-Public Facilities (page 46)
Public/Semi-Public Facilities
(Maximum .50 FAR; employee density: 590 square feet per emplovee.)
A combination land use cate2:orv of Public Facilities land uses and Semi-Public
Facilities land uses. Public Facilities are uses. other than parks. owned bv a public
a2:encv or entity that are of sufficient size to warrant differentiation from adioinine
uses. Such uses include public schools; libraries; city office buildines; State. County
and other public aeencv facilities; post offices; fire stations; utilities; and. Civic
Center. Semi-Public Facilities uses are Quasi-public uses. such as child care centers.
youth centers. senior centers. special needs proeram facilities. reli2:ious institutions.
clubhouses. community centers. community theatres. hospitals. private schools. and
other facilities that provide cultural. educational. or other similar services and benefit
the community. A Semi-Public Facilitv may be used for more than one such use.
Development of housine on a site desienated on the General Plan as Public/Semi-
Public Facilities shall be considered consistent with the General Plan when it is
developed bv a non-profit entity and serves to meet the housine needs of a particular
eroup in the community. Determination as to whether housine should be permitted
on a specific Public/Semi-Public Facilities site and the acceptable density and desien
will be throu2:h review of a Planned Development proposal under the Zonin2:
Ordinance. Pro"¡ides for the de"¡elopmeBt of f:overRmental or nOB prafit institutianal

not restricted to public uses and can be approyed for ioint de"¡eløpmeøt (i.e.. a priyate
development on a publicly owned parcel of land or a public/semi pubHe facility built
OR a priyatelv øwned parcel).
Semi-Public Facilities
(Maximum .50 FAR; emplovee density: 590 square feet per emplovee)
Uses that are Quasi-public uses. such as child care centers. youth centers. senior
centers. special needs pr02:ram facilities. reli2:ious institutions. clubhouses.
community centers. community theatres. hospitals. and other facilities that provide
cultural. educational. or other similar services and benefit the community. A Semi-
Public Facility may be used for more than one such use.
WHEREAS, the specific changes in the proposed amendments to the General Plan and Specific
Plan that relate to City Parks were studied in the Negative Declaration adopted by City Council on
March 16, 2004 as Resolution 48-04; and
WHEREAS, the specific changes related to the new "Semi-Public Facilities" definition is
informational only as no "Semi-Public Facilities" uses would be established on the General Plan Map
or Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Map at this time. Therefore, the new land use does not cause physical
changes to the environment and it is not a "project" according to the CEQA Guidelines and exempt
from environmental review, pursuant to CEQA section 15061.b(3); and
WHEREAS, the specific changes related to the modification of the existing "Public/Semi-Public
Facilities" land use classification as it relates to the General Plan Primary Planning Area would not
change the development potential of the lands designated "Public/Semi-Public Facilities." This change
would add provisions for affordable housing, developed by a non-profit entity, to the description
within the Eastern Extended Planning Area section of the General Plan and within the Eastern Dublin
Specific Plan. However, pursuant to the land use description, development of housing would be
considered as part of a Planned Development proposal and, as such, would be subject to environmental
review under CEQA. Therefore, the modified land use does not cause physical changes to the
environment; it is not a "project" according to the CEQA Guidelines; and, it is exempt from
environmental review pursuant to CEQA section 15061.b(3); and
WHEREAS, the addition of a preliminary connection between the section of Fallon Road north of
Central Parkway and the section south of Central Parkway reflects the existing policy of the General
Plan to continue Fallon Road uninterrupted from the 1-580 interchange to Tassajara Road by showing
a connection with a dashed line and the following footnote, "General location of Future Fallon Road
connection to Dublin Boulevard. However, the exact alignment will be determined following further
alignment studies." A precise alignment is currently under review by the City and further
environmental review will be completed before the Fallon Road location is established on the Land
Use Map. Therefore, the preliminary connection does not cause physical changes to the environment;
it is not a "project" according to the CEQA Guidelines; and, it is exempt from environmental review
pursuant to CEQA section 15061.b(3); and
WHEREAS, a Staff Report was submitted recommending Planning Commission approval of a
Resolution recommending City Council approval of a General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan
Amendment to modify the General Plan Land Use Map (Figure 1-1 a) and Eastern Dublin Specific
Plan Land Use Map (Figure 4.1), as attached as Exhibit A-I and A-2, to reflect the Parks and
Recreation Master Plan 2004 Update, Semi-Public Facilities Policy, and to add associated text
changes, as described herein; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hear and consider all such reports, recommendations,
and testimony hereinabove set forth and supports the approval of the revised General Plan Land Use
Map and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Land Use Map and proposed text changes; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Dublin Planning Commission does find
that:
1. Proper environmental documentation has been prepared on the proposed General Plan and
Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Amendment in accordance with the California Environmental
Quality Act and the documentation has been reviewed and considered prior to the Planning
Commissions recommendation.
2. The proposed changes of the land use designations for the General Plan and Eastern Dublin
Specific Plan Land Use Maps and changes to the text are consistent with all other goals,
policies, and implementing programs set forth in the Dublin General Plan and Eastern Dublin
Specific Plan.
3. The proposed General Plan Amendment and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Amendment is in
the public interest and it will not have an adverse affect on health or safety or be detrimental to
the public welfare or be injurious to property or public improvement.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Planning Commission of the City of
Dublin does hereby recommend City Council approval of the modified General Plan Land Use Map
(Figure I-I a), Exhibit A-I; Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Land Use Map (Figure 4.1), Exhibit A-2;
