RESOLUTION NO. 06 - 11
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL ADOPT A MITIGATED NEGATIVE
DECLARATION FOR THE FALLON CROSSING PROJECT
PA 04-016
WHEREAS, Standard Pacific Homes has requested annexation to the City and DSRSD, and
approval of a Planned Development prezoning and related Stage I Development Plan on a vacant 67.8
acre site known as the Mission Peak property and located northeast of the intersection ofTassajara Road
and Fallon Road. The residential project is known as Fallon Crossing and consists of 103 single-family
detached homes on 19.5 acres of the site and a I-acre linear park. The annexation and prezoning requests
are collectively referred to as the "Project"; and
WHEREAS, Thomas Fredrich has consented to annexation to the City and DSRSD, and approval
of a Planned Development prezoning and related Stage I Development Plan on a 6.17 acre site located
northeast ofthe intersection of Tassajara Road and Fallon Road; and
WHEREAS, the Project site is located north of the Pinn Brothers/Silveria Ranch residential
subdivision, which is currently under construction. Other surrounding land uses include vacant
agricultural land to the north and east, and Tassajara Road adjacent to and west ofthe site; and
WHEREAS, the Project site is in Eastern Dublin for which the City adopted the 1993 Eastern
Dublin General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan to provide a comprehensive planning framework for
future development in the area. In connection with this approval, the City certified a program EIR
pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15168 (SCH No. 91103064, Resolution 51-93, hereafter "Eastern
Dublin EIR") that is available for review in the City's Community Development Department and is
incorporated herein by reference. The Eastern Dublin EIR was integral to the planning process and
examined the direct and indirect effects, cumulative impacts, broad policy alternatives, and area wide
mitigation measures for developing Eastern Dublin. The Eastern Dublin EIR identified significant
unavoidable impacts from development of Eastern Dublin, some of which would apply to the Project.
Pursuant to the Communities for a Better Environment case, any Council approval of the project must be
supported by a new Statement of Overriding Considerations with respect to these previously identified
impacts; and
WHEREAS, the Eastern Dublin EIR identified potentially significant environmental impacts and
related mitigation measures, which the City adopted together with mitigation findings and a Mitigation
Monitoring Program (Resolution 53-93.) The mitigation measures and monitoring program continue to
apply to development in Eastern Dublin; and
WHEREAS, the City prepared an Initial Study dated February 9, 2006 for the Project consistent
with CEQA Guidelines section 15162 to determine if additional environmental review would be required
beyond the previously adopted Eastern Dublin EIR. Based on the Initial Study, the City prepared a
Mitigated Negative Declaration dated February 14, 2006 ("Draft MND"). The Draft MND is a separately
bound document available at the City's Community Development Department and is incorporated herein
by reference; and
WHEREAS, the Draft MND was circulated for public review from February 14, 2006 to March
16, 2006. The City received two letters commenting on the Draft MND; one additional letter was
received after the close of the public comment period. Although not required by CEQA, the City
prepared written responses to the comments. The comment letters and related responses are included
below, and incorporated herein by reference; and
WHEREAS, the Draft MND, the three comment letters and related responses collectively
comprise the Mitigated Negative Declaration ("Mitigated Negative Declaration") for the Project; and
WHEREAS, a staff report, dated April 25, 2006 and incorporated herein by reference, described
and analyzed the Mitigated Negative Declaration and the Project for the Planning Commission; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission reviewed the staffreport and the Mitigated Negative
Declaration at a noticed public hearing on April 25, 2006, at which time all interested parties had the
opportunity to be heard; and
WHEREAS, the location and custodian of the Mitigated Negative Declaration and other
documents that constitute the record of proceedings for the Project is the City of Dublin Community
Development Department, 100 Civic Plaza, Dublin, CA 94568, file PA 04-016.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the foregoing recitals are true and correct and
made a part of this resolution.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Mitigated Negative Declaration consists of the Draft
MND dated February 14, 2006, and the following three comment letters and related responses.

Responses to Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation District - Letter dated
March 7, 2006
Response to first three paragraphs:
As noted by the District, the "No Impact" boxes are checked in Section VIII Hydrology and Water
Quality of the Initial Study Checklist whereas the boxes "Less Than Significant With Mitigation
Incorporated" should have been checked for items a), c), and d). Pages 89 to 95 of the Mitigated
Negative Declaration identify hydrology and water quality impacts for items a), c), and d).
Mitigation measures 56 to 68 are listed to reduce the impacts to less than significant levels. Pages
89 to 95 adequately identify and evaluate the potential hydrology and water quality effects of the
project and mitigation measures are provided accordingly to reduce the impacts to less than
significant.
Response to the fourth paragraph:
The detention basin is part of the project and described in the project description on pages 2 and 5
of the Mitigated Negative Declaration. The detention basin is not a mitigation measure, but part of
the project. The detention basin is proposed by the project applicant as part of the project in
response to a potential water quantity and quality impact and does not need to be identified
separately as a mitigation measure.
Response to the fifth paragraph:
4
The proposed detention basin meets the standard of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, which is to
control peak runoff discharge rates. The detention basin meets the standard of no net flow or
increase in surface water discharge from the site beyond the amount quantity evaluated in the
Eastern Dublin Specific Plan EIR. Per Mitigation Measure 58 of the MND, the project developer
will be required to submit a Master Drainage Plan to the City Engineer for approval prior to the
issuance of a grading permit.
Response to the sixth paragraph:
As a standard condition of approval, the Dublin Public Works Department will require the project
developer to consult with Zone 7 regarding effects of runoff from the project site to downstream
flood control facilities associated with the SMMP.
Response to the seventh paragraph (first paragraph under heading "The remaining comments are
clarification..... ."):
The comment is correct that the project developer proposes a detention basin and not a retention
basin. All reference in the MND to a retention basin is hereby clarified. This does not change the
analysis or conclusions of the MND.
Response to the eighth paragraph:
The comment noting the statement on page 89 that Zone 7 does not have plans to store treated
wastewater within the aquifer is noted and the MND statement is hereby deleted.
Response to the ninth paragraph:
The comment to clarify the project must meet water quality requirements of the Alameda
Countywide Clean Water Program NPDES Municipal Stormwater Permit is noted and clarified as
stated in the comment.
Response to the tenth paragraph:
The comment that SDA 7-1 fees are assessed by Zone 7, not DSRSD, and meant to mitigate due to
the creation of impervious surfaces and not groundwater recharge is noted and hereby clarified in
the MND.
The last sentence on page 91 and top of page 92 is deleted as suggested. The effect of the project
on groundwater recharge is addressed in the first paragraph under b) on page 91 of the MND.
Because the project will generate less surface water runoff than anticipated by the Eastern Dublin
Specific Plan, the statement at the top of page 92 that the project would have no impact to
groundwater recharge remains correct.
Response to the eleventh paragraph:
The comment is noted and as required by Mitigation Measure 66 of the MND, the City will
require the project developer to submit a preliminary creek alignnIent plan to the resource
agencies, including Zone 7, prior to the approval of the project by the City

Responses to Department of Transportation - Letter dated March 2, 2006
Response:
The comment is noted that work with the State's right-of-way affecting State facilities will require
an encroachment permit from the State. The proposed project improvements to Tassajara Road
will not require a State encroachment permit because it is not a State roadway.
Responses to County of Alameda Public Works Agency - Letter dated March 21,2006
Response to I:
The length of Tassajara Road from the northern project boundary to the Alameda County line will
remain in the County by the project. However, this remaining County portion of Tassajara Road
will be annexed into the City of Dublin as part of the Moller, Vargas, and Tipper development
application that is currently in review in the City. If the Moller, Vargas, and Tipper development
is approved, the remaining County section of Tassajara Road will be annexed into Dublin.
Response to 2:
As a standard City practice, the project developer will be conditioned by the Public Works
Department to restore all County roads damaged during project construction to County standards.
The City will also condition the developer to identify truck haul routes during construction prior to
the issuance of grading and construction permits.
Response to 3:
The project proposes a detention basin to control surface water runoff from the site. As stated in
section d) on page 93, the project would not increase the rate or amount of surface water generated
from the site greater than analyzed in the Eastern Dublin EIR. The incorporation of mitigation
measures 56, 61, 67, and 68 will reduce potential downstream erosion and flooding by the project.
Mitigation Measure 58 of the MND requires the project developer to submit a hydrology report
and detention basin design plans to Zone 7 ofthe Alameda County Flood Control & Water
Conservation District prior to the issuance of a storm drain building permit. The project will not
increase the intensity of surface water runoff compared to existing conditions.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Planning Commission hereby finds as follows.
A. The Dublin Planning Commission reviewed and considered the Mitigated Negative
Declaration prior to recommending approval of the Project.
B. The Eastern Dublin EIR and the Mitigated Negative Declaration adequately describe the
impacts of the Project. Project specific environmental effects have been analyzed in the
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration which determined that the Project will not
have a significant effect on the environment with the application of mitigation measures
identified in the Eastern Dublin EIR and the Mitigated Negative Declaration. There is no
6
substantial evidence in light of the whole record before the City that the project as
mitigated will have a significant effect upon the environment.
C. The Mitigated Negative Declaration has been completed in compliance with CEQA, the
CEQA Guidelines and the City of Dublin Environmental Guidelines.
D. The Mitigated Negative Declaration is complete and adequate and reflects the City's
independent judgment and analysis as to the environmental effects of the proposed
annexation and prezoning Project.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that based on the above findings, the Planning
Commission hereby recommends that the City Council adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration
for P A 04-016, the Fallon Crossing project, and make all required findings.
