Development Prezoning and Stage 1 Development Plan for PA 02-024, the Piun Brothers Construction,
Inc., Silveria/Haight/Nielsen Properties project on 105.7 acres for an approximately 259 dwelling unit
residential development, in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area; and
WHEREAS, the City Council did approve the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation
Monitoring Program (Resolution 00-06) and the related General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan
Amendment (Resolution 00-07) for the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan; and
WHEREAS, Applicant/Developer has submitted a complete application for a Stage 1 Planned
Development Prezoning and Development Plan dated June 14, 2002, as required by Section 8.32 of the
Zoning Ordinance, which is available and on file in the Community Development Department, Planning
Division; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), residential projects
that are consistent with a specific plan for which an EIR has been certified are exempt from CEQA unless
a supplemental EIR is otherwise required by CEQA(See Government Code section 65457). To determine
if there were any supplemental impacts that would require the preparation of a supplemental EIR, the City
prepared an Initial Study for the project in June 2001 and updated the Initial Study on June 28, 2002. The
Initial Study found that the environmental impacts of this project were addressed by the Final Program
EIR for the Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan (SCH#91-103064) and addenda
(Resolution 00-06); and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on said application on July 9, 2002;
and
WHEREAS, proper notice of said public hearing was given in all respects as required by law; and
WHEREAS, a Staff Report was submitted to the Planning Commission recommending approval
of the Stage 1 Planned Development Prezoning and Development Plan for PA 02-024; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hear and use their independent judgment and
considered all said reports, recommendations, and testimony hereinabove set forth; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Dublin Planning Commission does
hereby make the following findings and determinations regarding said proposed Planned Development
Rezone:
1. The proposed Stage 1 Planned Development and Development Plan meets the intent and
purpose of Chapter 8.32 of the Zoning Ordinance because it provides a Stage 1 Development Plan for the
project for the Pinn Brothers Construction, Inc., Silveria/HaightfNielsen Properties project (PA 02-024)
that will create a desirable use of land and an environment that will be harmonious and compatible with
existing and potential development in surrounding areas and because the site plan has been designed to be
compatible with other proposed and approved plans in the vicinity.
2. The project site is physically suitable for type and intensity of this residential project in that
it is intended to conform with the City policies related to hillside development and to be designed to
minimally effect the existing topography and terrain of the site; has adequate access; and, is of a sufficient
size to provide housing as well as open space for the future residents of the project.
3. The proposed Planned Development Prezoning and Stage 1 Development Plan for the
project 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 1 Development Plan for the project
has been designed in accordance with the City of Dublin General Plan, Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and
Program EIR and Addenda. Additionally, project specific analysis has determined that the project's
design is sensitive to biological features onsite and to surrounding land uses.
4. The proposed Planned Development Prezoning and Stage 1 Development Plan for the
project is consistent with all elements and policies of the Dublin General Plan and the Eastern Dublin
Specific Plan because the project is within, and is consistent with, the total number of units allowed
within the density range of the Rural Residential, Single Family, Medium Density Residential and
Medium-High Density Residential designations of both the City of Dublin General Plan Land Use
Element and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan (as amended), and because it 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 Stage 1 Planned Development Prezoning and Development Plan is consistent with
Chapter 8.32 of the City's Zoning Ordinance because the Stage 1 Development Plan for the project
establishes permitted uses which will ensure that the project is compatible with existing and proposed
residential and public uses in the immediate vicinity; and
6. The Stage 1 Planned Development Prezoning and Development Plan will provide efficient
use of the land pursuant to the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan that includes the preservation of significant
open areas and natural and topographic landscape features with minimnm alteration of natural land forms;
and
7. The Stage 1 Planned Development Prezoning and 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 the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan policies and mitigation measures; and
8. The adopted Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Mitigation Monitoring Program serves as the
reporting and monitoring program required by Public Resources Code Section 21081.6 for the Project.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Dublin Planning Commission does hereby
recommend that the City Council adopt an Ordinance approving a Stage 1 Planned Development
Prezoning and Development Plan for the project (PA 02-024, Pinn Brothers Construction, Inc.-
Silveria/Haight/Nielsen Properties) as set forth in Attachment 2 of the Staff report and attached hereto,
dated June 14, 2002, which constitutes regulations for the use, improvement, and maintenance of the
property.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 9th day of July 2002.
