NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOL VED THAT the foregoing recitals are true and correct and made a part of this resolution. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Dublin Planning Commission makes the following findings and determinations regarding the proposed Braddock and Logan properties Planned Development Rezone and Stage 2 Development Plan. 1. The proposed Planned Development (PD) Rezone and Stage 2 Development Plan meet the intent and purpose of Chapter 8.32 of the Zoning Ordinance because they provide a Stage 2 Development Plan for the Developer's project that is consistent with the approved Stage 1 Development Plan and will create a desirable use ofland and an environment that will be harmonious and compatible with existing and potential development in surrounding areas and because the site plan incorporates and reflects development policies and patterns rrom the General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. 2. The project site is physically suitable for type and intensity of this project in that it is intended to conform with City policies related to comprehensive planning oflarge sites in Eastern Dublin and policies related to hillside development. The project is designed to minimally affect the existing topography and terrain of the site; has adequate access, and complements existing and proposed development in surrounding areas. 3. The proposed Planned Development Rezoning and Stage 2 Development Plan will not adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing or working in the vicinity, or be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare because the Stage 2 Development Plan has been designed in accordance with the City of Dublin General Plan, Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, Stage I Development Plan, previous EIRs and the 2005 Supplemental EIR. Additionally, the Stage 2 Development Plan incorporates recommendations rrom the Resource Management Plan for protection of biological and other sensitive resources through limitations on development in steep areas of the project site. 4. The proposed Planned Development Rezoning and Stage 2 Development Plan for the project is consistent with all elements and policies of the Dublin General Plan and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, as proposed. The Stage 2 Development Plan conforms to the elements and policies of those plans through the provision of open space and wildlife habitat protection required by the Land Use, Parks and Open Space and Conservation Elements, roadways consistent with the Circulation Element, adequate public facilities as required by the Schools, Public Lands and Utilities Element, Housing as desired by the Housing Element, and safe design as required by the Seismic Safety and Safety Element. 5. The Planned Development Rezoning and Stage 2 Development Plan is consistent with Chapter 8.32 ofthe City's Zoning Ordinance because the Stage 2 Development Plan establishes permitted uses and other standards 2 which will ensure that the project will be compatible with existing and proposed residential and public uses in the immediate vicinity. 6. The Planned Development Rezoning and Stage 2 Development Plan will provide efficient use of the project site lands pursuant to General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan policies that include the preservation of significant open areas and natural and topographic landscape features with minimum alteration of natural land forms. 7. The Planned Development Rezoning and Stage 2 Development Plan will not overburden public services as all agencies must commit to the availability of public services prior to the issuance of building permits as required by General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan policies and by adopted mitigation measures. 8. The adopted Eastern Dublin Mitigation Monitoring Program and the 2002 Supplemental mitigation monitoring program continue to apply to the Developer's project unless specifically amended, and serve as the reporting and monitoring program required by Public Resources Code Section 21081.6 for the project.
