WHEREAS, the Applicant submitted an application (PA 08-034) to the City regarding a
33.91 acre project site ("Fallon Gateway"); and
WHEREAS, in April 2009, the Planning Commission approved Resolution 09-18
approving a Site Development Review application for Phases 1, 2 and 3 of Fallon Gateway; and
WHEREAS, in June 2009, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 9-09 approving an
amendment to the Planned Development district for Dublin Ranch Area C, specifically for Fallon
Gateway, which established architectural and landscape design criteria, parking standards and
uses for the entire project site;
WHEREAS, the proposed project includes a Planned Development Rezone and Site
Development Review application for the Fallon Gateway project site and a Development
Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan requires developers to enter into
Development Agreements as a condition of development; and
WHEREAS, the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), together with State
guidelines and City environmental regulations require that certain projects be reviewed for
environmental impacts and that environmental documents be prepared; and
WHEREAS, the project is located within the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area, which
was the subject of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the General Plan Amendment
and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan (SCH # 91103064), certified by City Council Resolution 51-
93 on May 10, 1993, with two addenda approved on May 4, 1993 and August 22, 1994. In
1997, a Negative Declaration for the Planned Development Rezoning of Dublin Ranch Areas

Study, it was determined that the rezoning would not have significant environmental impacts
which were not already adequately described and analyzed in the Program EIR. No further
