NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Dublin Planning Commission does hereby make the
following findings and determinations regarding said proposed Planned Development (PD) Rezone:
1. The PD Rezone is consistent with the general provisions, intent, and purpose of the Prezoning and Eastern
Dublin Specific Plan (as modified) which designates this area as Medium Density Residential, in that the project
would result in development within the densities allowed by said designation and will contribute towards
implementation of said Plan; and
2. The PD Rezone is consistent with the general provisions, intent, and purpose of the PD District Overlay Zone
of the Zoning Ordinance. The Planned Development Rezone will be appropriate for the subject property in terms of
providing land use provisions which set forth the purpose and applicable provisions of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance,
range of permitted and conditionally permitted uses, and Development Standards which will be compatible with
existing and proposed residential, business, and public uses in the immediate vicinity; and
3. The PD Rezone is consistent with the general provisions, intent, and purpose of the PD District Overlay Zone
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
4. The PD Rezone will provide an environment that will encourage the use of common open areas for community
or neighborhood activities and other amenities and will enhance development of the Specific Plan Area; and
5. The PD Rezone will provide efficient use of the land pursuant to the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan that includes
that preservation of significant open areas and natural and topographic landscape features along Tassajara Creek with
minimum alteration of natural land forms; and
6. The PD Rezone 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 satisfied; and
7. The PD Rezone 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 PD Rezone and accompanying Site Development Review, will create an attractive, efficient, and safe
environment; and
9. The PD Rezone will benefit the public necessity, convenience, and general welfare; and
10. The PD Rezone and accompanying Site Development Review will be compatible with and enhance the general
development of the area; and
11. The adopted Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Mitigation Monitoring Program will apply to the Project, along with
the conditions made a part of project approval, 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 approve a Planned Development Rezone & Development Plan for the Tassajara Meadows
Residential Project (PA 98-035), and the" Development Plan" (Exhibits A-1 and A-2), which shall constitute

l and A-2, attached, and made a part of this Resolution, development and operation of land use activities within this
Rezone which shall be subject to the current City of Dublin Zoning Code.
