A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
RECOMMENDING CITY COUNCIL APPROVE A GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT AND AN
AMENDMENT TO THE EASTERN DUBLIN SPECIFIC PLAN FOR
DUBLIN RANCH 'AREA F' (PA 98-068), 'AREA G' (PA 98-069) AND 'AREA H' (PA 98-070)
WHEREAS, Ted Fairfield, representing property owner Jennifer Lin et. al, has requested approval to
amend portions of the General Plan and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, which would:
Relocate various land uses and acreages within Areas F, G and H of Dublin Ranch on land
generally located east of Tassajara Road and North of 1-580 within the Eastern Dublin Specific
Plan area (APN: 985-0005-001,985-0005-002) as shown on Attachment B-2 and B-3: General
Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Land Use Map and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Planning
Subareas Map. Land use changes include relocating all of the Medium High Density Residential,
High Density Residential, and Neighborhood Commercial uses within Area F to Area G. These
three land uses would be replaced with Medium Density Residential uses within Area F. The
Neighborhood Commercial uses which are currently shown along both sides of Central Parkway
(previously the "Transit Spine") would be relocated to Area G and reoriented in a north-south
direction between Dublin Boulevard and Central Parkway along Main Street.
Amend text in the Land Use element of the General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan to
delete references to the "Transit Spine" and replace it with either "Central Parkway" or "Main
Street" as appropriate, in accordance with Resolution No. 77-97. This Resolution was approved
by the City Council on June 17, 1997 to amend the circulation element of the General Plan and
Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. This Amendment reclassified the "Transit Spine" from a transit-
oriented corridor to an east-west arterial and renamed it "Central Parkway" (Attachment B-4:
EDSP Text Amendments).
Amend text in the General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, to allow Campus Office uses be
developed on 10.5 acres of land designated for General Commercial uses within the south-west
quadrant of Area H, pursuant to a Stage 2 Planned Development (PD) Rezone (Attachment B-4
and B-5: EDSP and GP Text Amendments).
4. Update Appendix 4 "Eastem Dublin Specific Plan Land Use Summary By Land Owner", #19
Pao-Lin (also know as Areas F, G and H, now owned by Jennifer Lin et al) (Attachment B-6).
WHEREAS, a complete application for this project is on file with the Dublin Planning Department;
and
WHEREAS, the potential environmental effects of the proposed project have been previously
addressed in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan EIR (SCH No. 91-103064); and
WHEREAS, individual Initial Studies have been prepared for each of the three Dublin Ranch Areas
(Area F - SCH No.99112040, Area G - SCH No.99112041 and Area H - SCH No.99112042) to evaluate
site-specific impacts of the project (to a greater level of detail than in the Program EIR) pursuant to CEQA
guidelines Section 15168. Based on the three Initial Studies, a Mitigated Negative Declaration and
Mitigated Monitoring Program has been prepared for each area with the finding that with the
implementation of Mitigation Measures previously adopted for the Program EIR and with site specific
Mitigation Measures contained in the Initial Studies, as further clarified by the Response to Comments, the
potential site-specific impacts of the projects would be reduced to a level of insignificance. The Program
EIR and Initial Studies adequately describe the impacts of the project, and there have been no substantial
changes or new information that would be outside the scope of the Program EIR; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing on said application on December
14, 1999, January 11, 2000 and January 25, 2000; and
WHEREAS, proper notice of said hearing was given in all respects as required by law; and
WHEREAS, a Staff Report was submitted to the Planning Commission recommending City Council
approval of the proposed General Plan Amendment and Amendment to the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan;
and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hear and use their independent judgment and considered
all said reports, recommendations and testimony hereinabove set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Dublin Planning Commission does hereby
find that:
1. The proposed Amendments are consistent with the goals, general provisions and purpose of the
Dublin General Plan and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan as proposed to be amended herein; and
The relocation of land uses and acreages within Areas F, G and H of Dublin Ranch are appropriate
for the subject property in terms of land use compatibility and configuration and will provide a
comprehensive plan for the development of Areas F, G and H; and
The amended land uses and text would allow the development of Main Street, a pedestrian
orientated retail and service center within walking distance of high and medium high density
residences as reflected on the Development Plan included as a part of Attachment C-2 and C-3 to
the Staff Report. These changes are appropriate based on analysis in the staff report, will provide
a development pattern consistent with the Specific Plan goals, and will help implement policies of
the General Plan and EDSP regarding development in Eastern Dublin; and
The amended text would allow Campus Office uses be developed on 10.5 acres of land designated
for General Commercial uses within the south-west quadrant of Ama H, pursuant to a Stage 2
Planned Development (PD) Rezone. The change to this land use is appropriate based upon
analysis in the staff report, will result in more efficient use of land in line with market conditions,
will provide a development pattern consistent with the Specific Plan goals, and will help
implement policies of the General Plan and EDSP regarding development in Eastern Dublin; and

Pao-Lin represents updated information regarding land uses and acreages within the Pao-Lin

Specific Plan area.

recommend City Council approval of a General Plan Amendment and an Amendment to the
Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, Attachments B2 - B6 to the Staff Report for PA 98-068, PA 98-069
and PA 98-070.
