A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVE A
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT (PD) REZONE STAGE 1 / DEVELOPMENT PLAN
FOR DUBLIN RANCH 'AREA F' (PA 98-068) AND 'AREA H' (PA 98-070) AND A PLANNED
DEVELOPMENT (PD) REZONE STAGE 1 & 2 / DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR
'AREA G' (PA 98-069)
WHEREAS, Ted Fairfield, representing property owner Jennifer Lin et. al, has requested
approval of a General Plan Amendment, an Amendment to the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan to revise
portions of the General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Land Use diagrams and text to allow the
relocation of various land uses and acreages within Areas F, G and H of Dublin Ranch and has requested
approval of a Planned Development Rezone Stage 1 / Development Plan for Areas F and H and a
Planned Development Rezone Stage 1 & 2 / Development Plan for Area G to define land use
designations and standards 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); and
WHEREAS, a completed application for each of the requested actions is available and on file in the
Dublin Planning Department; and
WHEREAS, individual Development Plans have been submitted to the City as required by Section
8.32 of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance; 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 Planing Commission recommending approval of the
proposed Planned Development Rezone Stage 1 / Development Plan for Area F (PA 98-068) and Area H
(PA 98-070) and Planned Development Rezone Stage 1 & 2 / Development Plan for Area G (PA 98-069);
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 FURTHER RESOLVED T}IAT the Dublin Planning Commission
does hereby make the following findings and determinations regarding said proposed Planned Development
Rezones:
The Planned Development Rezone Stage 1 (Areas F and H) and Stage l& 2 (Area G), are
consistent with the general provisions, intent, and purpose of the Prezoning and Eastern
Dublin Specific Plan (as amended) which designates Areas F, G and H as Planned
Development, in that the project would result in development with the land uses allowed by
said designation, and will contribute towards implementation of said Plan; and
The Planned Development rezone Stage 1 (Areas F and H) and Stage l& 2 (Area G), are
consistent with the general provisions, intent and purpose of the PD Zoning District of the
Zoning Ordinance. The Planned Development Rezone will be appropriate for the subject
property in terms of setting forth the purpose, applicable provisions of the Dublin Zoning
Ordinance, range of permitted and conditionally permitted uses and Development Standards,
which will be compatible with proposed residential, commercial and public uses in the
immediate vicinity; and
The Planned Development rezone Stage 1 (Areas F and H) and Stage l& 2 (Area G), are
consistent with the general provisions, intent, and purpose of the PD Zoning District of the
Zoning Ordinance in that it contains all information required by Section 8.32 of the Zoning
Ordinance and accomplishes the objectives of Section 8.32.010, A through H, of the Zoning
Ordinance; and
The Planned Development Rezone Stage 1 (Areas F and H) and Stage l& 2 (Area G), will
not have a substantial adverse effect on health or safety or be substantially detrimental to the
public welfare or be injurious to property or public improvement, as all applicable
regulations will be met; and
The Planned Development Rezone Stage 1 (Areas F and H) and Stage l& 2 (Area G), will
not overburden public services or facilities as all agencies must commit to the availability of
Public Services prior to the issuance of any building permits as required by the Eastern
Dublin Specific Plan Mitigation Measures; and an Assessment District will be formed to
construct major infrastructure and utilities within Dublin Ranch; and
5
The Planned Development Rezone Stage 1 (Areas F and H) and Stage 1 & 2 (Area G), will
be consistent with the policies of the Dublin General Plan and the Eastern Dublin Specific
Plan; and
The Planned Development rezone Stage 1 (Areas F and H) and Stage l& 2 (Area G), will
create an attractive, efficient and safe environment though development standards contained
in the Development Plan; and
The Planned Development Rezone Stage 1 (Areas F and H) and Stage l& 2 (Area G), will
benefit the public necessity, convenience and general welfare; and
The Planned Development Rezone Stage 1 (Areas F and H) and Stage l& 2 (Area G), will
be compatible with and enhance the general development of the area because it will be
developed pursuant to a comprehensive Development Plan; and
The adopted Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Mitigation Monitoring Program and the additional
site specific mitigation measures identified in the Initial Study (Attachment A-2 to Staff
Report for Area F (PA 98-068), Area G (PA 98-069 and Area H (PA 98-070)) will apply to
the Project, as the reporting and monitoring program required by Public Resources Code
21081.6 for the Project
