with the maximum Floor Area Ratio of .50 permitted by the Stage 2 Planned
Development and the General Plan.

has been graded to pad grade.
F. Architectural considerations including the character, scale and quality of the design, site
layout, the architectural relationship with the Site and other buildings, screening of
unsightly uses, lighting, building materials and colors and similar elements result in a

and shrubs have been provided throughout the parking lot to break up the expanse of
3
paving;. and 3) street trees will be planted to meet the requirements of the City's

Boulevard; 2) the Project has been reviewed by the Public Works Department and the.
Fire Department and adequate access and circulation has been provided on-site; 3)
existing sidewalks on Dublin Boulevard will provide pedestrian access to the site and an
