FINANCIAL STATEMENT: The project will have a negligible fiscal effect on the City. I. BACKGROUND The current Specific Plan Amendment Study was authorized by the City Council on April 14, 1986 (see Attachment #5). Under the Council's authorization, the Study was to cover only the 1.4+ acre Moret holding at the northern edge of Area 3 of the Plan. The Study was authorized to allow a review of the merits of establishing offices uses on the Moret property. The action taken by the Council on June 23, 1986, regarding the Specific Plan Amendment Study dealing with the Dublin Town & Country Shopping Center property, including direction by minute order to expand the scope of the Moret Study to include the remaining portions of Area 3, above and beyond the Dublin Town & Country Shopping Center property (see Attachment #6). The subject Specific Plan Amendment Study was initially considered at the Planning Commission meeting of August 18, 1986. The Staff Report prepared for that meeting outlined specific recommended amendments to three of the sections of the existing San Ramon Road Specific Plan (see Attachment #18). In response to the recommended changes outlined by Staff for the Land Use Section of the Plan, the Planning Commission directed Staff to revise the Draft Resolution prepared for the August 18, 1986, meeting to reflect the two following changes: 1) delete text which would have provided for the formation of Area 3B (Sub-Area of Area 3 of the Plan, consisting of the 1.4+ acre Moret Property) which would have allowed that ,portion of the Plan to be developed "predominantly" by office-type uses, and 2) provide text amending the Land Use Plan Section of the Plan to permit limited occupancy (25% maximum for all properties in Area 3 above and beyond the Dublin Town & Country Shopping Center property) by Personal Service, Financial and Office Uses, regardless of property size. The Commission indicated consensus support for the recommended text changes to the other two sections where amendments had been proposed by Staff (the Circulation System Section and the General Development Criteria Section). At its meeting of September 2, 1986, three of the Planning Commissioners indicated reservations about the previously expressed consensus direc- tion given by the Commission regarding land use regulations outlined at the August 18, 1986, hearing for the Moret property. The Commission was unable to form consensus direction regarding the Land Use Plan Regulations for the Moret property individually and for Area 3 in general. As a result of their inability to reach consensus agree- ment, the Commission directed Staff to forward the Specific Plan Amendment Study without recommendation to the City Council. During the course of discussion at the September 2, 1986, hearing, the Planning Commission considered a wide range of possible Land Use Regulations for the Moret property, including: 1. Amendment to permit limited occupancy (25% maximum) by Personal Service, Financial and Office Uses, regardless of size for the 8.4+ acre portion of Area 3 consisting of all holdings above and beyond the Dublin Town & Country Shopping Center property (Exhibit B reflects this approach). -3- 2. Creation of a new Sub-Area in Area 3, providing for the develop- ment of the Moret property to be "predominantly" by office-type uses and requiring up to 30% of the development to be some mixture of Retail Shopper, Personal Service, or Financial Uses. 3. Creation of a new Sub-Area in Area 3, providing for the develop- ment of the Moret property to be by up to 100% Office Uses (i.e. , apply the C-0, Administrative Office District Standards for Permitted and Conditional Uses). 4. Amendment to permit occupancy by uses generally permitted in the C-1, Retail Shopping District for the 8.4+ acre portion of Area 3, consisting of all holdings above and beyond the Dublin Town & Country Shopping Center property. II. RECOMMENDATIONS Based on the above Staff Report, and previous reports prepared for the Planning Commission pertaining to these requests, Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions: 1 - Adopt the Negative Declaration of Environmental Significance (Exhibit A). 2a - Adopt a Resolution amending the San Ramon Road Specific Plan - creating Area 3B (Sub-Area of Area 3, consisting of the Moret property) - Exhibit B, or 2b - Adopt a Resolution amending the San Ramon Road Specific Plan applying a 25% maximum occupancy cap for Personal Service, Financial and Office Uses for properties in Area 3 of the Plan above and beyond the Dublin Town & Country Shopping Center property, or 2c - Provide Staff direction for revisions to Exhibits A and/or B, and continue the matter to the City Council Meeting of September 22, 1986. -4- RESOLUTION NO. -86 • • A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN ADOPTING A NEGATIVE DECLARATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL SIGNIFICANCE CONCERNING PA 86-049 SAN RAMON ROAD SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT STUDY - AMENDMENT TO AREA 3 WHEREAS, the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as amended together with the State's administrative guidelines for implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act and City environmental regulations, requires that certain projects be reviewed for environmental impact and that environmental documents be prepared; and WHEREAS, a Negative Declaration of Environmental Significance has been prepared for PA 86-049 by the Dublin Planning Department; and WHEREAS, a Negative Declaration for the San Ramon Road Specific Plan was prepared by the Dublin Planning Department; and WHEREAS, the Dublin City Council did review and adopt the Negative Declaration for the San Ramon Road Specific Plan at a public hearing on August 22, 1983, and; WHEREAS, the Planning Commission on September 2, 1986, by a consensus decision, directed Staff to forward PA 86-049 to the City Council without recommendation regarding the Negative Declaration of Environmental Significance for the project; and WHEREAS, the City Council did hold a public hearing on September 8, 1986, to consider the San Ramon Road Specific Plan Amendment Study; and WHEREAS, proper notice of said public hearings was given in all aspects as required by law; and WHEREAS, the City Council did review PA 86-049 relative to the previously adopted Negative Declaration for the San Ramon Road Specific Plan and relative to the Negative Declaration prepared for the proposed Specific Plan Amendment at its September 8, 1986, meeting; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin City Council finds that: 1.

Tong, Planning Director Re:. Request for Specific Plan Amendment to the San Ramon Road Specific Plan for a 1.425 acre Property Identified as 7436 San Ramon Road • Assessor. Parcel Number 941-0040-001-02 (Subject Property) Dear Mr. Tong: Thank you for taking the time to discuss the above referenced request. During our meeting you indicated that you would like us to address the following: A) Project Description - Land Use Proposed • B) Size of Development and Building Coverage Ratio C) Landscaping & Site Plan• D) CC&R'S We will, in tt}is submittal letter, address these items and include, a proposed draft outline of the amendment which we feel would serve the needs of .the community and the development. In addition to this information we are attaching appendices of information on parking requirements of various cities including stall sizes and number required for various uses. We have also included building lot coverages for several municipalities around the Bay Area. A. Project Description • • The proposed development consists of four three-story buildings with primary usage being professional offices having some allowance for select retail on the first floor. The complex • is being designed to fill the need of the small to mid-range company that desires to own its own building and have specific identity. Each of the buildings may be owned individually with the landscaped and parking areas as common ownership. Recent surveys in San Francisco,-which is a corporate headquarters location, indicate that in many areas 71 percent of firms occupy less than 15,000 square feet and employ 60 or fewer people; 54 percent of firms occupy 7500 square feet or less and employ 30 or fewer people. Other surveys have shown that nationwide 95 percent of the companies have 20 or fewer - employees. The site is triangularly shaped, bounded by a creek flood zone on the northern side and is traversed by an earthquake fault zone on the most desirable section of the property. These physical constraints reduce the utility and suitability of the property from a retail . standpoint and add complexity to the office building concept. • • • TT r - City of Dublin - Laurence L. Tong - May 15, 1986 - Page 2 The site is isolated and remote from the main retail arterial intersection of Amador Valley Court and San Ramon Road (see Appendix #3) which lends the site to a destination-bound user rather than a convenience oriented shopper. The proposed office usage is well suited, for the site and creates a soft transition from the northerly residential areas to the retail areas to the south and complements the natural buffer of dense vegetation along Martin Creek. Office usage is predominately daytime with minimal evening and weekend activity which will also mitigate night time and weekend noise as well as generate less traffic than retail usages. (See Appendix #2 for permitted usages proposed for this project.) B. Size of Development and Building Coverage The proposed size of the development is 33,000 square feet. The buildings would be paired to share an elevator in a clustered arrangement. The building to lot coverage ratio is - approximately 17 percent which falls well within the range of coverages allowed by various Bay Area municipalities. Typical coverage ratios generally range from 40 percent in some cities to 100 percent in similar areas of other cities. (See Appendix #4 for permitted lot coverages by various cities. The Site Plan is in Appendix #5.) C. Landscaping and Site Plan Layout The conceptual design of the development is to utilize existing mature trees wherever possible as well as new trees along with mounded grass areas to create a parklike atmosphere. The buildings are clustered to provide maximum open space, maximum view planes into the creek area, and to minimize the visual impact to surrounding adjacent properties. The architectural treatment of the buildings is planned to blend in with the natural attributes of the site thus enhancing the area in general and also creating the impression upon entering Dublin that Dublin is a well-planned, attractive, professional city. Due to the urxique location of the property, the site benefits from landscaping and landscape view planes which give an open, parklike atmosphere and setting. View planes are as follows: Area 1 Between subject parcel east property line and San Ramon Road curb, Landscaped area 8200 sq. ft. Area 2 Triangular Parcel bounded by subject parcel north property line, Martin Creek and San Ramon Road Open Area 2800 sq. ft. Area 3 Balance of Martin Creek area bounded by Arbor Creek and subject property north property line Open Area 18,000 sq. ft. Area 4 Park area on subject parcel north west 100' property line abutting the park landscape & open area Landscape & Open Area 15,000 sq. ft. Area 5 On site landscaping 6800 sq. ft. TOTAL LANDSCAPE AND VIEW PLANES +/- 50,800 sq. ft. f - - - + r City of Dublin - Laurence L. Tong - May 15, 1986. - Page 3 COVENANTS, CONDITIONS, AND RESTRICTIONS The CC&R's that we tentatively have planned for the project would closely parallel those that we.have developed for a project in Fremont. (See Appendix #6.) The CC&R's allow the individual owners normal ownership rights of the building interiors along with use of the exterior common areas. The building exterior and common areas, maintenance and upkeep are regulated by the Owners' Association. In the event that an individual owner did not want to cooperate with the Owners' Association regarding maintenance and upkeep, the Owners' Association could perform the work and assess the non-cooperative owner and enforce it with a lien: This would ensure that the development continues as a well- maintained and attractive property. The city of Dublin would benefit from this project in several ways. There would be increased employment opportunities and most probably new business relocating to Dublin. - The project would provide a good transition between retail and residential areas. The office use of the site, as planned, would enhance the Martin Creek zone. The project would make a strong statement of well-planned development and professional image as one enters Dublin. We appreciate the efforts of you and your staff in conducting this Specific Plan Amendment Study. If you should have any questions or need additional information please feel free • to call Jesse White at (415) 796-3363 or Myron Crawford at (415) 794-1615 at your. convenience. Sincerely, . i> 4 .

Moret have requested an amendment to the San Ramon Road Specific Plan for 1.425 acres located at the northern limit of the 13.0 +/- acres identified by the Specific Plan as Area 3, further identified as 7436 San Ramon Road,-Assessor's Parcel Number 941-0040-001-02. The requested Specific Plan Amendment would redesignate the area from Cl Retail shopper goods with personal service financial institution or office permitted by special provision to Cl Aministrative Office and Retail. There is little or no probability that . the Specific Plan Amendment will be a detriment to or interfere with the future developments within the Specific Plan Area. The amendment is appropriate for the subject property in terms of being compatible with proposed land uses in the area, and it will not overburden public services. The amendment will not have substantial adverse effects on health or safety, or be substantially detrimental to the public welfare, nor will it be injurious to property or public improvements. _. . r . • • • RECEIVED MAY 211986 DUBLIN PLANNING APPENDIX 2 ' Proposed Draft of the • Specific Plan Amendment r. • SAN RAMON ROAD - SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT MORET PARCEL Subject Parcel The subject parcel is 1.425 acres of irregular, pie-shaped land, located in Area 3 and is identified as 7436 San Ramon Road, Assessor's Parcel Number 941-0040-001-02. The subject parcel is currently owned by Roy J. and Ula D. Moret. BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The preparation of this Specific Plan Amendment is in conformance with Section 65450 of the State Planning and Conservation Law. The Specific Plan provided guidelines regarding land use, development regulations, and a circulation system for a 40 plus acre area north of Dublin Boulevard, west of San Ramon Road, and south of Silvergate Drive. The Specific Plan also recognized that complete development of Area 3 could take up to five years and that a precise determination of uses, sizes of retail or offices uses, or types of rappropriate housing design were unpredictable for that length of time. Coordinated .development with multiple property owners, one of the objectives of the Specific Plan, is still possible but consolidation of smaller lots is now less likely or insurmountable due to recent changes in ownership. This Specific Plan Amendment has been prepared to provide for changed circumstances and the need for land use modifications and changes to the development guidelines. The subject parcel, as an isolated, irregularly shaped property with an earthquake fault affecting the most usable portion is severely restricted with use limited to that permitted by the Specific Plan. This Specific Plan Amendment changes the existing C-1 retail commercial shopper goods zoning to C-1 commercial office and retail. This Specific Plan Amendment also provides the development guidelines and criteria for this new use. EXISTING CONDITIONS AND LAND USE For the most part, the Specific Plan Area is divided into small lots which have access on San Ramon Road. The largest vacant single parcel is located in the RS-D-35 area (Area 2) of the Specific Plan Area. Developed uses in the Specific Plan Area consist of an apartment complex, gas station, a skating rink (Iceland), a hardware store, a 52,000 square foot retail shopping center, a 112 unit multi-family project on the northernmost parcel adjacent to Silvergate Drive, various miscellaneous commercial enterprises, and older single-family houses. Several development proposals are currently under review for parcels within the Specific Plan Area. They include a 288-unit condominium project at the western edge of the study area, a 9000 square foot seafood restaurant on San Ramon Road, and an office complex on the subject property. Present use of the subject parcel is for a single residential home and access is via direct driveway to San Ramon Road. - • - 1 - • ECONOMIC DEMAND FOR USE Introduction Three types of land uses were considered for the San Ramon Road Specific Plan Area: retail commercial, office, and multi-family residential. The objective of the following analysis is to evaluate the economic viability of the office park concept provided for in this amendment. Office Use and Projections The, 1983 Specific Plan made the following projection: "Employment in the east area of Alameda County (Dublin, Pleasanton, and Livermore) is expected to increase an average of 2,000 jobs annually during the next five years. About 40 percent of the expected job growth (800 jobs) is expected to be in office-oriented types as the Dublin-Pleasanton area is very attractive as a regional location for firms serving the central and southern Bay Area. This translates to demand for about 200,000 square feet of additional office space annually based on a ratio of 250 square feet of gross building area per employee." According to a recent publication by Coldwell-Banker the Dublin-Pleasanton-Livermore area absorbed 483,000 square feet of office space in 1984 and 913,000 square feet was absorbed in 1985. This almost doubled the previous year's absorption and is four and one- half times more than the 1983 Specific Plan projections. According to a Coldwell- Banker representative this absorption rate demonstrates that although there are a significant number of projects in the pipeline, steady sustained growth is here and the space is being absorbed. Over half of the space is being built for owner-users. - The Specific Plan Area is an extremely attractive office location as it offers direct access to the'I-580 and I-680 Freeways for firms with regional orientation. It is also a good location for local firms due to freeway access, and it is convenient to most points in the local community via San Ramon Road and Dublin Blvd. The Specific Plan Area offers a pleasant alternative for the firms who do not desire freeway visibility and/ or a "high- tech" business park environment such as the Bishop Ranch in San Ramon or in the Hacienda Business Park in Pleasanton. Many local and regional firms do not need freeway visibility and the higher rents associated with a new "high-tech" business park. The office space vacancy rate in Dublin currently ranges from six to 16 % for established buildings to 46 % for the recently-completed Amador Plaza Building. The majority of vacancy levels are in the range of 6 % or less for the established buildings. According to representatives of major and local leasing agents the market is expected to continue absorption at the 1985 rate or perhaps to increase significantly within the next 12 to 24 months, and given the locational advantages discussed above, a moderate-rent • office development could be expected to attract 10 to 15 percent of the projected demand ' for office space. CONCLUSIONS Office development of 33,000 square feet on the subject property will provide a • needed product and is the most appropriate utilization of this property considering its remote location in . terms of a retail site and the considerable development problems inherent in the site. - 2 - • • r LAND USE PLAN The following descriptions identify the uses permitted, uses allowed with conditional use permit, and those specifically prohibited as they relate to the subject property. Area 3 - Subject Property 1.425 Acres This area is an extremely attractive office location as it offers direct access to the I-580 and I-680 Freeways for firms with regional orientation. It is also a good location for local firms due to freeway access, and it is convenient to most points in the local community via San Ramon Road and Dublin Blvd. Many local and regional firms do not need freeway visibility and the higher rents associated with a new "high-tech" business park. An office .in the parklike setting of the Moret Martin Creek parcel would be very attractive to such firms. Permitted Uses 1. Offices, personal services, and financial service uses such as: a. Professional administrative offices b. Financial institutions c. Personal services - d. Medical-Dental offices and/or labs 2. Eating and drinking establishments selling prepared food and liquor except those • defined as drive-through . 3. Retail . Conditional Use 1. Subject to approval of a conditional use permit: . r• a. Any change from one established use to another permitted use. b. Community, religious and charitable institutions facilities and uses. c. Public facilities and uses. d. Convenience stores. Prohibited Uses 1. All retail commercial uses defined as: a. New and used vehicle sales and or repair and service. b. Service Stations. c. Auto parts stores d. Hardware and garden shops 2. Residential uses. 3. Industrial uses. - 3 - • • } } . • CIRCULATION SYSTEM The circulation system which immediately impacts the subject property was previously examined relative to external access, street plan lines, and the anticipated traffic impact on major streets such as Silvergate Drive, San Ramon Road, Amador Valley Blvd., and Dublin Blvd. TJKM Traffic Consultants concluded in a recent study (April 23, 1986) that the recent and planned improvements to San Ramon Road and Amador Valley will alleviate any intersection capacity problems. TJKM concluded that the concerns in the area are access and circulation. It has been established by the Dublin City Council by vote on March 10, 1986 that the subject property will be provided direct driveway access to San Ramon Road with the driveway to be located within the southern half of the Highway frontage. TJKM recommended that the various property owners in Area 3 coordinate their development efforts to provide cross parcel driveway connections for access on Amador Valley Court. Subject property is to provide driveway access in the rear area to the Hayward Fishery property for this purpose. GENERAL DEVELOPMENT CRITERIA FOR SUBJECT PROPERTY It is anticipated that site planning issues not provided for in this Specific Plan Amendment will be addressed through normal zoning ,site development, and other procedures found in the City of Dublin Planning and Zoning Regulations. Unless otherwise identified herein, all new development shall conform to the applicable standards of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance. In cases where conflict may occur between the provisions of this Specific Plan Amendment and those embodied in the Zoning Ordinance, this Amendment shall prevail. In exercising its right of review and approval, the Planning Director, Planning Commission, and City Council shall adhere to the standards set forth in these criteria and shall foster • and promote the purposes of these development 'standards. The following general development criteria have been included to insure that proper uses are deve1loped as identified in this Amendment, and the desired circulation system is created. 1. Zoning This Specific Plan Amendment allows ,for office and retail use on the subject property. 2. Compatibility of Uses • Special attention has been placed on insuring compatibility of the proposed use in conjunction with development within Area .3 and adjoining areas. During the review of these projects, attention has been and shall continue to be given to the height of proposed structures, design, landscaping, setbacks, street side design treatment, distance between buildings, loading areas, walls and fences, and pedestrian and service circulation. 3. Circulation Improvements - Circulation between the subject property and the Hayward Fishery property is to be - inv,estigated with the ultimate objective of continuing the vehicular circulation through to Amador Valley Court. - 4 - • • 4. Physical Constraints Physical constraints exist within the Specific Plan Area. The entire area is located within a potential geological hazard area and is designated as a "Special Zone" as defined by - the Alquist-Priolo Act. The .subject property is crossed by a fault line roughly parallel to San Ramon Road and approximately 110 feet to the west. In addition, Martin Canyon Creek (Area 4) has a flood potential that has to be addressed. As a result, all final stage development plans within the subject property shall include: a. A comprehensive geologic and soils report prepared by a licensed geologist identifying any geologic or soil hazard zones, appropriate mitigation measures and other recommendations. This report shall be completed to the satisfaction of the County Geologist to assure that a reasonable safety factor is provided. b. A hydrological report on flood impacts related to Martin Canyon Creek shall be completed. All flood control preventive measures shall conform to the 100 Year designated flood criteria. 5. Noise Due to anticipated noise levels along San Ramon Road, all structures that may be affected by noise levels in excess of commercial and residential noise standards shall be sound attenuated to insure interior noise levels within acceptable standards (as defined by the County of Alameda Noise Element). Appropriate acoustic measures may include walls, special windows, building orientation, and similar features. 6. . Setbacks Office building -setbacks from adjoining property boundaries shall be 10 feet minimum, and this setback where not utilized for parking or drives shall be landscaped with an effective combination 'c f trees, ground cover, and shrubbery. In addition, there shall be a 20-foot landscape buffer between buildings and the curb of San. Ramon Road. Parking set backs . shall be a minimum of 5 feet from all adjacent properties and not allowed in the front 20 foot setback on San Ramon Road. Cars may overhang 2 feet into the landscaped areas. 7. Parking Standards A. The following requirements are applicable to all uses within the Specific Plan Area: 1.

Larry Tong presented a Staff Report and indicated that the San Ramon Road Specific Plan was adopted in 1983 and established guidelines regarding the land use, development regulations, and circulation system for a 40+ acre area north of Dublin Boulevard, west of San Ramon Road and south of Silvergate Drive. The Plan was prepared in response to the perceived need for specific development guidelines in an area where property ownership was fragmented into small holdings and which faced access and internal circulation problems . The generalized development mandates for the area as applied by the Dublin City Council included: o Alleviate special access problems by designing future road locations and access requirements . o Encourage larger scale, integrated development. o Require coordinated development among multiple property owners . The Moret property• is located at the northern limit of the 13 . 0 + acre area identified as Area 3 . Area 3 was the area identified as having the best potential for the development of retail shopper stores oriented to providing additional comparison shopping goods for both Dublin and nearby community residents . The Specific Plan calls for the principal use of Area 3 to be reserved for retail shopper stores, and indicates that in the case of . shopping centefs" inArea 3 involving four acres or more, a maximum of 250 of .the total groth floor area of any development can be for personal service, financial or office uses . Mr. Moret is requesting authorization to allow consideration of office developments in excess of the amount provided for in the Plan in Area 3 of the San Ramon Road Specific Plan Area. The Applicant presented several reasons as cause for the Council to consider authorizing the requested amendment study. The Applicant indicates that development of the site for office use will create a soft transition from residential areas to the north to the retail areas to the south. Also indicated is that office use on the site would generate approximately 1/7 the traffic generated by a comparable retail area. However, taking all items into consideration, it is apparent that the Applicant ' s statement that office use would create 1/7 the traffic generated by a commercial/retail use of the property is both undocumented and. misleading. A factor that Staff felt should "be considered in reviewing the request for authorization of a Specific Plan Amendment Study is the recently developed market feasibility information prepared in conjunction with the Downtown Commercial Study. The Consultant Market Analysis by Laventhol and Horwath indicates that the retail market continues to be seen as remaining strong while the office market is considered soft at this time. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @.@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @@ CM-5-77 - Regular Meeting • April 14, 1986 I IA MENT NiV } CZ /hlpc4s 4- t4 -$6 • Jess White who is a partner in the proposed office development, addressed the Council and passed out copies of Government Code Section 65453 which deals with how a specific plan may be amended. A Specific Plan can be amended by the legislative body and what they are requesting is an amendment, not a study. . Mr. White referred to a study done by Coldwell Banker related to office space absorption from 1980 - 1985 . The Town & Country Center (retail space) is currently only about 50% leased. The office project they are proposing is not large enough to require a feasibility study. Mr. Myron Crawford offered additional facts . He felt that the office space would offer a nice transition which would benefit the community. Mr. Roy Moret indicated he had filed an application for office complexes on March 10, 1986 and had received a 100% negative response from City Staff, which he felt should be there to assist developers in developing their property. He would like to develop his property as soon as possible. Mayor Snyder indicated that Staff simply carries out the direction of the City Council. Mayor Snyder closed the public hearing. Cm. Hegarty felt that Staff was correct in their recommendations based on City Council past findings , and this was not the place to critize Staff . .There was originally a plan put in which was based on cooperation amongst the property owners`; and this cooperation obviously did not take place. Cm. Jeffery felt there was not enough evidence to indicate a need to change the plan. A lot of time was devoted to the process when the plan was developed and she felt she could not support a study for an amendment . She did feel, however that it might be wise to obtain another market analysis . On motion of Cm. Hegarty, seconded by Cm. Vonheeder, and by majority vote, the Council agreed to have Staff initiate the process for an amendment study. A public hearing on the study will be conducted and a determination will be made as to whether an amendment will take place . No additional market analysis will be obtained. Cm. Jeffery voted against this motion. * * * * • t • (T • PUBLIC HEARING SAN RAMON ROAD SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT STUDY AND CITY COUNCIL INITIATED REZONING - DUBLIN TOWN &COUNTRY ASSOCIATES Mayor Snyder opened the public hearing. Staff explained that at its meeting of May 27, 1986, the City Council authorized a Specific Plan Amendment Study to consider removing the restriction on the maximum percentage of the total gross floor area that can be used for personal service, financial or office uses in the Dublin Town & • Country Shopping Center: Concurrent with that action, the Council initiated a Rezoning Study to consider amending the current Planned Development (PD) District regulations to allow occupancy by the land uses generally provided for in the C-1, Retail Business District. The Applicant presented the reasons for the requested elimination of the restriction on the amount of allowable occupancy by personal service, financial or office uses . Those arguments included 1) the slow progress to date in leasing the tenant spaces within the Shopping Center; 2) the lack of an anchor tenant; 3 ) the need for a mixture of uses to provide a "balanced" center and 4 ) the constraints on leasing to additional food establishments created by large sewer hook-up fees for restaurants . Two Planning Commissioners, _at their meeting of June 16, 1986, expressed reservations regarding both the Specific Plan Amendment and the Rezoning request, in that the Specific Plan Amendment on a property-by-property basis would result in a piecemealing of the Plan Area and undermine the original intent of the Plan. In response to those concerns, the Commission directed Staff to advise-the City Council of its desire to have any future Specific Plan Amendmentr_. Study, including the Study currently under consideration for the Moret property, be expanded to include the remaining 8+ acres of Area 3 of the Plan. Discussion was held relative to confusion over terminology and definition 'optometrist' . An optometrist could also be considered as office use or as a dispensing optician, which sells eyeglasses , etc . Council agreed to remove optometrist from the office category and include it in the personal services section. The recommended percentage of office space allowed was discussed. The percentage allowed was 10% of gross floor area. Mr. Jeha, applicant, indicated they would like to have additional flexibility and requested a higher percentage be allowed for office use . Staff reported that the Planning Commission felt that 10% office space was desirable. Cm. Vonheeder questioned certain uses under the office category, - specifically, Accounting. • Cm. Hegarty questioned what a Veterinary Office was . Staff responded that it would be considered a facility for the treatment of animals, not just offices . *************************************************************************** CM-5-125 .

The above paragraph was changed to read - New and used vehicle sale's and/or vehicle repair and service and service stations. Richard Wiebe, part owner of the Town & Country Center addressed the Council and stated they need flexibility from the original prohibitions and limitations of the original agreement. They would prefer a C-1 zoning and were requesting 25%-30% for office uses. Mr. Wiebe stated they appreciated all the work that Staff and the City Council had gone to. Len Mignani, Western Development Services, and the leasing agent for the shopping center indicated they were doing everything possible to market the center. He felt that office uses would give them more opportunities -to lease the space. Roy Moret indicated his support of Town & Country's request and felt they should get as much support from the City Council as possible. Mr. Moret questioned the recommendation of the Planning Commission regarding the feasibility of including all of the remaining property in Area 3 and felt it would delay his project. Planning Director Tong indicated that the Moret application is being. processed and including the remaining property in Area 3 would not increase the processing time. • Cm. Hegarty indicated that when the previous review of the Jeha project was done, it was reported to the Council that an anchor store would be in the center. Myron Crawford questioned who would be responsible for additional costs of study. Mr. Tong •indicated that since the Planning Commission is requesting the additional study, the City would bear the costs . Mayor Snyder closed the public hearing. Cm. Vonheeder indicated she was in favor of raising permitted office type uses to 50% to give as much flexibility as possible. Cm. Moffatt indicated he would like to go even further and put all of Area 3 into C-1 zoning. Cm. Moffatt felt the City was practicing spot zoning and cited several cases which ruled against cities . Cm. Jeffery felt that the reason for the specific plan was that the City wanted something special for this entrance into Dublin and that the City should try to retain the original goal. *************************************************************************** CM-5-126 - Regular Meeting June 23, 1986 } f suggested that perhaps not everyone' s goals were the same for • Cm_ Vonheeder su qg this City entrance.

At present, the City of Dublin does not have an adopted General Plan, but this Specific Plan implements the General Plan Elements (Land Use, etc. ) presently considered appropriate by the Dublin City Council. This Specific Plan provides guidelines regarding land use, development regulations, and a circulation system for a 40+ acre area north of Dublin Blvd. , west of San Ramon Road, and south of Silvergate Drive. This Specific Plan has been prepared in response to the need for specific development guidelines in an area presently in small ownership with definite access and internal circulation problems. This Specific Plan recognizes that complete development may take up to 5 years. A precise determination of uses, sizes of retail or office uses, or types of appropriate housing design are unpredictable for that length of time. In place of a definitive plan for each of the 15 parcels, development will be guided by.this Specific Plan and the principles, criteria, and standards presented herein to assure that future development conforms to the mandates of the Dublin City Council as defined in their meeting of May 16, 1983. The Council wants: - To alleviate the special access problems-by designing future road locations and access requirements. * - To accomplish larger scale, integrated development by encouraging and requiring the combination of smaller lots. . • _ - To bring about coordinated development among multiple property owners. EXISTING CONDITIONS AND LAND USE At present, the area contains some 15 parcels which are presently utilized as noted in Figure 1 (Land Use and Zoning Map) . The area is presently zoned for commercial and multi-family residential uses (C-1, C-N, R-S-D-20 or R-S-D-35) . For the most part, the Specific Plan Area is divided into small lots which have access on San Ramon Road. The largest vacant single parcel is 4.8 acres in size and is located at the center edge of the Specific Plan Area. Developed uses in this Specific Plan Area consist of an apartment complex, gas station, a skating rink (Iceland) , a hardware store, various miscellaneous commercial enterprises, a church, and older single- family houses. Several development proposals are currently under review for • parcels. within the Specific Plan Area. They include a 112 unit multifamily project on the northernmost parcel adjacent to Silvergate Drive and a 288-unit condominium project at the western edge of the study area. • - 1 - } • • • Present access from parcels within the Specific Plan Area,is via direct driveway access to Dublin Blvd. at San Ramon Road, and access to San Ramon -Road via a signal at Amador Valley Blvd. ECONOMIC DEMAND FOR NEW USES Introduction Three types of land uses were considered for the San Ramon Road Specific - Plan Area: retail commercial, office, and multi-family residential. The objective of the following analysis is to evaluate the economic viability of the' three uses in terms of market demand given area growth patterns expected during the next five years. Retail The City of Dublin is the primary retail trade center for a regional area encompassing eastern Alameda County and southern Contra Costa County. In 1982, Dublin's retail stores recorded taxable sales of about $174 million. Residents of the surrounding region accounted for about 70 percent of these . sales and Dublin residents accounted for about 30 percent. The high proportion of sales to .residents of the surrounding region can be explained by the fact that Dublin's retail area offers a selection of shopper goods such as clothing, household furnishings, and household appliances not available in the surrounding communities. Most retail centers in surrounding communities offer predominantly convenience goods such as food, liquor, drugs, and' other consumables. Dublin's retail sales can be expected to increase rapidly during the next five years. The population of the surrounding region is expected to increase frorA. a current total of about 150,000 persons to about 180,000 persons from 1983 to 1988. This will generate a proportional increase in the regional demand for shopper goods. Dublin's shopper goods stores and - Stoneridge Regional Shopping Center will share most of this increase as the number of shopper goods stores in surrounding communities is not expected to increase significantly. Dublin's population is expected to increase about 5,800 persons during the next five years as about 2,000 housing units are planned for construction in the City. About half of the new housing units will be built in the area of Dublin west of the San Ramon Road Specific Plan Area. Based on expected. - household -incomes, the retail purchasing potential of the west area of Dublin will increase a total of about $19.6 million when the new housing is completed and occupied. Retail development in the Specific Plan Area would be in a good locational position (fronting on San Ramon Road) to capture some of the retail spending of new residents to the west. Further, a retail center offering - shopper goods would be in a good position to intercept some of the "shopper - goods"traffic destined for Stoneridge Regional Shopping Center from the communities north of Dublin. • . • • - 2 - • f _ • Given the retail sales potentials discussed above, the market could. support both a 5 to 6 acre convenience goods .center and a 5 to 6' acre shopper _____..__._goods_center. in_the..Specific_Plan Area._within_the_next_five_years.__ Market___ .._____ support for a shopper goods center already exists and such a center could be developed in the near future. • It is doubtful that market support for a convenience goods center will • be sufficient until the new residential areas to the west are completed. Development of such a center prior to that time would likely have a negative effect on nearby existing convenience centers as the market would not be sufficient to support them all. Office Employment in the east area of Alameda County (Dublin, Pleasanton, and Livermore) is expected to increase an average of 2,000 jobs annually during the next five years. About 40 percent of the expected job growth (800 jobs) is expected to be in office-oriented types as the Dublin-_Pleasanton area is very attractive as a regional location for firms serving the central and southern. Bay Area. This translates to demand for about 200,000 square feet of • additional office space annually based on a ratio of 250 square feet of gross building area per employee. • The Specific Plan Area is an extremely attractive office location as it offers direct access to the 1-580 and I-680 Freeways for firms with regional orientation. It is also a good location for local firms due to freeway access, and it is convenient to most points in the local community via San • - -- Ramon Road and Dublin-Blvd: -The disadvantage-of the Specific Plan Area is that it is probably not attractive to "showcase" firms who desire freeway visibility and/or a "high-tech" business park environment such as the Bishop Ranch in San-Ramon or, in the future, Hacienda -Business Park in Pleasanton. Many local and regional firms do not need freeway visibility and the higher rents associated with a new "high-tech" business park. An office development in the Specific Plan Area would be very attractive- to such firms. The office space market in the Dublin-Pleasanton area is currently soft, with vacancy levels of 10 to 15 percent in some buildings. The market can, however, be expected to strengthen considerably during the next 12 to 24 • months and, given the locational advantages discussed above, a moderate-rent office development could be expected to attract 10 to 15 percent of the - projected demand for office space. As such, office space totaling 80,000 to 120,000 square feet could be economically viable in the Specific Plan Area during the next five years.- Multifamily Employment growth expected to occur in east Alameda County during the • next five years will generate demand for new housing averaging 1,200 to 1,400 units annually during the next five years. This will be supplemented by • . "commuter" demand from the central Bay Area which could range as high as 1,000 units annually. Given the amount of new housing planned in Dublin and residential growth limitations in Pleasanton and Livermore, it is doubtful • • - 3 - • • that the supply will be sufficient to satisfy the demand. As such, rapid . market absorption can be expected for developments in a wide range of prices and densities. The Specific Plan Area is locationally well-suited to new housing development as it offers excellent access to both local and central Bay Area jobs and is close to a wide array of consumer goods and services. Multifamily housing would be particularly appropriate in the Specific Plan Area as.it - could be designed to reach moderate rent/price levels where demand will be the strongest. Such price/rent levels could likely be achieved at densities ranging from 13 to 18 units per acre. The advantages of such multifamily residential development in the Specific Plan Area would be that (1) it would provide new housing_in a price/rent range which is not likely to be available elsewhere in the west area of Dublin and (2) it would increase the household . income spent in nearby retail stores. Summary • There is approximately 30 acres of vacant or partially developed land in the San Ramon Road Specific Plan Area. Based on the foregoing analysis, a combination of retail commercial, office, and multifamily uses would be the most appropriate alternative in terms of expected market support and community growth expectations. The Specific Plan could absorb up to 10 -. 12 acres of retail. commercial use, 4 to 8 acres of office use (80,000 to 120,000 square feet), and the balance for multifamily_residential use with the expectation that there will be sufficient market support within. the next five years. It. is essential that retail commercial uses front onto San Ramon Road and. it would be desirable,-although not absolutely essential, that office uses front on, or be visible from San Ramon Road. The following list of potential uses -is arranged according to the expected relative strength of market support. • 1. Multifamily Residential 2. Shopper Goods Retail Commercial • • 3. Office Space 4. Convenience Goods Retail Commercial LAND USE PLAN This Specific Plan has been divided into five geographic areas (Figure 3) . Certain uses are permitted in each of the areas, subject to the provisions of the development guidelines presented herein. The following descriptions identify the uses permitted, any conditional uses, and those specifically prohibited. Area 1 (Dublin Blvd. ) 8.7+ Acres The policy governing land use within this area is to retain the already built apartment complex and commercial use at the. corner of Dublin Blvd. and San Ramon Road. No change is anticipated in the future. • • • . - 4 - F • • Permitted Uses • - Multifamily residential and commercial uses as presently built. Conditional Use - Subject to approval of a Conditional Use Permit: a. Any change from one established use to another permitted use. • Prohibited Uses - All others. Area 2 (Properties on Western Edge of the Specific Plan) 12.4+ Acres This area is well-suited for either multifamily townhouse, condominiums, or rental residential uses or professional offices. Given access to Amador Valley Blvd (extended) and Donlon Way, these properties can be developed in a fashion that will serve as -a transition from the single family residential areas to the west and more intensive retail commercial uses along San Ramon Road. No retail commercial uses are proposed for this area. • Permitted Uses = - Multifamily residential uses such as rental housing, and/or • condominium uses with a density of 12 - 21 units per gross • acre. The precise density shall be determined by number of "bedrooms per unit proposed and other site planning • I considerations. • Conditional Uses - Subject to approval of a Conditional Use Permit: a. Any change from one established use to another permitted use. b. Community, religious, and charitable institutions • facilities and uses. c. Public facilities and uses. • • • - 5 - • Prohibited Uses - - Any other-commercial use not found to be ancillary-to' office•-- - - - - uses. - Other residential uses not defined above. • • - Industrial uses. Area 3 (San Ramon Road Properties) 13.0+ Acres This area has the best potential for the development of retail shopper stores oriented to providing additional comparison shopping goods for both Dublin and nearby community residents. Its location along a major street, proximity to the Regional Shopping Center (Stoneridge) and on the direct route to and from Interstate 580 for a large area give these - properties a potential not found elsewhere in Dublin. It is the intent of this Specific Plan that the principal use of this area be reserved for retail shopper stores. Under certain circumstances, as noted below, a limited amount of development can be for personal service, financial institutions, or office uses as defined in this Plan. Permitted Uses • • - Retail commercial shopper goods uses such as: • a. Family apparel • - b. Household furnishings • " c. General merchandise stores `-' d. Specialty stores that offer comparison goods based on price and quality. - Eating and drinking establishments selling prepared food and liquor except those defined as drive-through. Special Provision - For shopping centers involving 4 acres or more: Up to 25% of the total gross floor area of any development can be for personal service, financial institution, or office uses as defined in this Plan. - 6 - F • • • Conditional Use ----_.-_- - Subject--to -approval -of-a•conditional use permit: ----' - -- ___.___-_.. _. _.. _ a.

CIRCULATION SYSTEM The circulation system which immediately impacts this Specific Plan Area has recently been examined relative to external access, street plan lines, and • the anticipated traffic impact on major streets such as Silvergate Drive, San Ramon Road, and Dublin Blvd. As a result of new anticipated development within this Specific Plan Area and in the Dublin Community as a whole, new • - 8 - F • • improvements will be necessary within the Specific Plan Area (San Ramon Road Report, TJKM Consultants, March 1983) . The findings of the consultants, TJKM, concluded that undesirable congestion and access problems will occur in this area-as-development-proceeds—unless-specific remedial-measures-are- takes--Zt --------------- is the intent of this Specific Plan to recommend standards for the following circulation system: . A. An internal and external street circulation and pedestrian pattern. B. Appropriate location of access and driveways to affected parcels. C. Necessary improvements to peripheral major streets including signalization, widening and striping. As noted in Figure 2, key items of this circulation element include: - Creation of an extension of Amador Valley Blvd. into the Specific Plan Area to provide access to internal parcels as well as those parcels fronting along San Ramon Road. - Roadway improvements along the following streets: 1. San Ramon Road/Silvergate to Dublin Blvd. 2. Silvergate Dr. near the San Ramon Rd. intersection. • 3. At the San Ramon Road/Dublin Blvd. intersection. 4. At the intersection of Donlon and Dublin Blvd. • - A 14,mited number of direct access points from adjacent properties to Silvergate Drive, San Ramon Road, and Dublin Blvd. • - A recommended pedestrian/bicycle system that should be precisely determined at the time of site plan approval. GENERAL DEVELOPMENT CRITERIA It is anticipated that site planning issues will be addressed through normal zoning, site development, and other procedures found in the City of Dublin Planning and Zoning Regulations. Unless otherwise identified herein, all new development shall conform to the applicable standards of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance. In cases where conflict may 'occur between the provisions of this Specific Plan and those embodied in the Zoning Ordinance, this Plan shall prevail. In exercising its right of review and approval, the Planning DIrector, Planning Commission, and City Council shall adhere to the standards set forth in these criteria and shall foster and promote the purposes of these development standards. The following general development criteria have been included to insure • that proper uses are developed as,identified in this plan the desired circulation system is created, and larger scale, multiple parcel development is encouraged. • • - 9 - 1 _ • • 1. Zoning • All new development proposals within this Specific Plan Area-shall be required -----to f il-e"a Planned'Development-Zoning-request-wit1T the -City-of-Dubliir:-Unless-"--- otherwise noted herein, normal site development standard and City review procedures .will be utilized. • 2. Compatibility of Uses Special attention shall be placed on insuring compatibility of uses proposed in any new development with existing residential or other commercial development now located within or adjacent to the Specific Plan Area. During the review of these projects, attention shall be given to the height of proposed structures, design, landscaping, setbacks, street side design treatment, distance between buildings, loading areas, walls and fences, and pedestrian/bicycle and service circulation. 3. Circulation Improvements At.the time of approval of any Zoning or other Plan Review, new development on any parcel .shall be required to .contribute or dedicate either land and/or monetary considerations to the roadway, pedestrian, signal and other circulation system required by this plan. Said contributions are to be made based on the benefits derived to the subject property and/or impacts created by the proposed development. Vehicular ingress, egress and internal • circulation shall be accomplished according to the provisions of the circulation element of this plan. Circulation improvements may be accomplished in a number of ways including assessment districts or other means • of financing. 4. PhysicalsConstraints Physical constraints exist within the Specific Plan Area. The entire area is • _ - located within a potential geological hazard area and is designated as a "Special Zone" as defined by the Alquist-Priolo Act. In addition, Martin Canyon Creek (Area 3) has a flood potential that has to be addressed. As a - .result, all development proposals within the aforementioned plan area shall include: - A comprehensive geologic and soils report prepared by a licensed geologist identifying any geologic or soil hazard zones, appropriate mitigation measures and other recommendations. This report shall be completed to the satisfaction of the County Geologist to assure that a reasonable safety factor is provided. - In Areas 2, 3, and 5, if necessary, a hydrological report on flood impacts related to Martin Canyon Creek shall be completed. In addition, all flood control preventive measures identified in Areas 2, 3, and 5 shall conform to the 100 Year designated flood criteria. - 10 - } • • • • 5. Noise • Due to anticipated noise levels along Silvergate Drive, Dublin Blvd., and San _ Ramon Road, all structures that may be affected by noise levels in excess of commercial and residential noise standards shall be sound attenuated to insure interior noise levels within acceptable standards (as defined by the County of Alameda Noise Element) . Appropriate acoustic measures may include walls, special windows, building orientation, and similar features. 6. Setbacks • • Building setbacks for new development adjacent to existing residential areas both within and adjacent to the Specific Plan Area shall be at least 20 feet, and this setback shall be landscaped with an effective combination of trees, ground cover, and shrubbery designed to screen the development from existing uses. ' In addition, there shall be a 20-foot landscape buffer along Silvergate Drive and San Ramon Road. All other setbacks shall be determined at the time of design review for the individual projects in accordance with acceptable • commercial and residential standards. 7. Parking Standards The following requirements are applicable to all uses within the Specific Plan Area: - As an incentive to promote the joint development of parcels within this Specific Plan Area, the following may be provided at the option of the developer subject to the conditions identified below when applicable to commercial and residential off-street parking uses: 1. -41Required parking for various uses as identified by the existing • City of Dublin Zoning Ordinance may be modified as follows: a. Up to 25% of required parking spaces may be waived by the Planning Commission based on evidence presented demonstrating that the particular use of land will require a smaller number of permanent spaces based on the anticipated use of the land. Sufficient evidence shall be presented demonstrating the unique or changed circumstances substantiating the waiving of required parking spaces. 2. Shared Parking: • Parking facilities required for any parcel may be used jointly with parking facilities for other uses or parcels when operations are not normally conducted during the same hours, or when hours - of peak use vary. Request for the use of shared parking are subject to approval of the Director of Planning and must meet the following conditions: • a. Sufficient evidence shall be presented to the Director of Planning demonstrating that there shall exist no substantial conflict in the principal hours or periods of peak demand of the structures or uses for which the joint use is proposed." } - 11 - b. The number of parking stalls which may be credited against • the requirements for the structures or uses involved shall not exceed the number of parking stalls reasonably . - anticipated-to-be-available during different hours of-_. operation. c. Parking facilities designed for joint use shall not be located further than 250 feet from any structure or use served. _ d. A written agreement shall be.drawn to the satisfaction of the City Attorney and executed by all parties concerned assuring the continued availability of the number of stalls designated for joint use at the period of time indicated. 3. Compact Cars: a. Facilities with 25 or. more parking spaces may provide up to 40% of its parking for use by compact cars. Spaces delineated for parked compact_car use shall meet standards as developed by the Director of Planning. 8. Height Limits Within this Specific Plan Area, heights in excess of the normal two-story residential and three-story commercial limits may be permitted. The Planning Commission shall review the appropriateness of siting and compatibility of the design with the scale and character of the Specific Plan Area for buildings in excess of two or three stores for these land uses: Buildings should: 1. Be set back from any existing residential uses to avoid significant visual impacts. • 2. Respect views both on and off the site. 3. Be clustered, rather than spread out over the site. SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT CRITERIA Based on the three alternatives described earlier, the following standards place some specific controls on the development associated with Areas 2, 3, and 5 within the Specific Plan Area. They are intended to permit development, whether residential or commercial in nature, that will enhance the objectives of this Specific Plan. Normal site plan and design review procedures and requirements of the Planned Development Zoning District, or applicable commercial or residential zoning district within the City of Dublin will prevail unless defined in Table 1. ADMINISTRATION AND REVIEW PRCCESS Because of the variety of uses proposed for this Specific Plan, it is necessary to create a review process that provides- the City of Dublin with adequate controls over- future development while providing-applicants-with a -- - _ timely direction. Even though the City of Dublin presently combines many of J F - 12 - • • • • the planning applications into a single hearing process, it is the intent of this Specific Plan to further encourage the combination of various planning processes that may be required for development.to occur. The following steps - -- now -normally reviewed- separately-or -together may-be combined: - - Zoning Amendments • - Site Plan Review - Any necessary staff review procedures • - Variances and adjustments - Tentative subdivision map procedures • A use legally established prior to the effective date of this Specific Plan or prior to the effective date of subsequent amendments to the • regulations shall be permitted to continue, provided that it is operated and - maintained in accordance with the conditions prescribed at the time of its establishment. Any alteration or expansion of a pre-existing use, shall be permitted only upon the granting of a Use Permit. Alterations not exceeding $10,000 in value as determined by the Director of Planning or his designee shall be permitted without the granting of a use permit. In regards to the determination of uses not presently listed within • permitted uses, the Planning Commission upon its own initiative or upon written request shall determine whether a use not specifically listed or conditional use in any of the four specific areas shall be deemed a permitted - ' use or conditional use on the basis of similarity to uses specifically listed. The procedures- of this section shall not be substituted for the amendment procedure asra means of adding new uses to the list of permitted or conditional uses. • This Specific Plan has been adopted to accomplish the City objectives of this City Council of the City of Dublin and to implement at this time period a Land Use Plan and Development Standards for an area undergoing specific development pressure. This Specific Plan is adopted with the realization that a new General Plan for the City of Dublin will be shortly proposed that may necessitate a revision- of the uses and development criteria presented herein. Notwithstanding, it is the intent of the City of Dublin to regulate the use, location, area and dimension of sites for development, the height of structures, the appearance of certain uses, structures and signs, open space, landscaping, access and egress, off-street parking, and the intensity, timing and sequence of developments and any other aspects of land use that are appropriate within this Specific Plan for the public peace, health, safety, and general welfare of persons working and living within the City of Dublin. In terms of administration of this Specific Plan, the following regulations shall apply: • - No building permit shall be issued nor shall any building be constructed, structurally altered or enlarged on any parcel of land affected by this Specific .Plan except in conformity with the • - - - - _ provisions of said Specific Plan. • • - 13 - F . • • - No site development of private property which lies within the territory included within this Specific Plan shall be developed except in conformance with this Specific Plan. A proposal to amend this Specific Plan may be initiated by resolution - initiating a Specific Plan Study or a Specific Plan Amendment Study by the Planning Commission or by the City Council, or an application may be filed by any landowner. In the event of an application, the area included within this Specific Plan Study shall include, but need not be limited to, the land owned by the applicant. The fee for an application shall be the same as required for an application for an amendment of the zoning regulations. • • • • • • • - 14 - - f • . TABLE I ; . SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES.

Suburban Markets New completions of suburban office buildings continued to drive the suburban vacancy rate upward in the second quarter of 1986.Construction once again outpaced absorption in most of the suburban areas surveyed.Office building completions and absorp- tion of office space have both remained fairly constant from quarter to quarter on a national level since the beginning of 1985. Since the beginning of 1984,multi-tenant office space occu- pancy has increased 8-10%per annum.This substantial rate of growth has been supported by healthy gains in office-based employment with the tendency of companies to locate their labor- intensive operations in the suburbs.Therefore,rising vacancy is - not a product of sluggish suburban growth,but rather the product - of aggressive investment in the construction of new office space. Construction of suburban office space has not slowed appre- ciably since the suburban vacancy index was established in the fourth quarter of 1983.The amount of new future office space in the index cities climbed rapidly during 1984.Construction has since leveled off just under the peak and remained steady,uninhibited by increasing vacancy rates. - } 1 Coldwell Banker Office Vacancy Index Vacancy at June 1986 OAKLAND-EAST BAY 30 • Downtown 19.3% ❑ Suburban 27.4% 25 20 15 n 0 S D M J S D M J S D M J'*• S D M J S -82--I T°-83-- -84-J 85--I I-86- - NATIONAL AVG.

Tong, Planning Director Kevin Gailey, Senior Planner - FROM: Chris D. Kinzel SUBJECT: Traffic Analysis of Area Three of the San Ramon Road Specific Plan As requested,•TJKM has undertaken an analysis of the traffic issues related to the land generally north and west of the intersection of Amador Valley Boulevard and San Ramon Road. Access to this area is of special concern primarily due to the adjacent San Ramon Road arterial and the desire to consolidate driveway access to a minimum number of well designed locations along the San Ramon Road frontage of the four properties within Area Three. In preparing the recommendations contained in this analysis, TJKM has taken into account the San Ramon Road Specific Plan, the improvement plans for San Ramon Road and current development proposals for various properties within Area Three. TJKM had earlier analyzed the traffic impacts of development in this area, and has sized the intersection in order to accommodate development from Area Three. The intersection will also accommodate traffic from other proposed development in the area and through traffic along both San Ramon Road and Amador Valley Boulevard. For this reason, it appears that the San Ramon Road/Amador Valley Boulevard intersection is able to accommodate foreseeable land uses to which Area • Three could be developed. Consequently, the -traffic concerns of TJKM in this area are related to access and circulation as opposed to congestion or traffic impacts. In the various proposals that have been made to date there are essentially two driveway locations proposed for access from Area Three to San Ramon Road. The first driveway proposed would be located on the south side of the Hayward Fishery holdings which would place the driveway in alignment with an existing easement. This driveway would be located approximately 170 feet in advance of the signalized intersection of Amador Valley Boulevard and San Ramon Road. The other driveway is located near the north end of the Moret property approximately 470 feet north of the signalized intersection. From a traffic - standpoint, neither of these driveways is at a good location. The driveway on the south side of the Hayward Fisheries is too close to the major signalized intersection and would require exiting traffic from the driveway to, on occasion, make hazardous movements just to proceed southerly on Amador Valley Boulevard. On the occasion where drivers exiting this driveway wanted to make either a left turn • to Amador Valley Boulevard or a U-turn to proceed north on San Ramon Road, such a movement would be potentially quite hazardous. • PLEASANTON-SACRAMENTO•FRESNO•CONCORD E a TThCHMRIT rj-KM c sotr• 4613 .8b /VJEMOgo �M� } r _ . M1 The driveway at the north edge of the Moret property is located on San Ramon Road in advance of the special auxiliary lane being constructed to facilitate • driveway movements in and out of the•Area Three properties. Thus, access into .and out of the Moret property at the proposed location would be made from a moving traffic lane on a relatively high speed, high volume arterial. Considering the location of the signalization intersection, the planned length of the auxiliary lane, and the parcelization of properties, the optimum location for a - driveway appears to be at the property line common to the Moret parcel and the Hayward Fisheries. This location would provide a driveway approximately 340 feet in advance of the intersection, which is a sufficient distance to allow traffic exiting the common driveway to either make a right turn, proceed straight southerly, make a left turn or even a U-turn at the signalized intersection. Such a driveway should be of a high standard construction consisting of 'approximately a 35 foot width with street type opening with curb return radiis of approximately 25 feet. This would proyide a driveway somewhat comparable in characteristics to the driveways recently constructed for the residential development north of Area Three and the shopping center south of Area Three. It is recognized that this particular location is at odds with the preliminary site plans that have been developed for the parcels and does not align itself with the easement on the south side of the Hayward Fisheries property. It appears this issue of the misalignment with the easement and the driveway can be handled with proper design of the on-site circulation. There will need to be on-site circulation connecting the various parcels possibly necessitating a roadway or aisleway parallel to San Ramon Road. Should this occur, such an aisleway should be located at least 50 feet west of the San Ramon Road curb line so that blockage of such an aisleway would not normally occur unless there are more than two cars waiting to exit Area Three. . In addition to the driveway provided on San•Ramon Road to Area Three, there will need to be access points provided on Amador Valley Court. There appears to be a general agreement as to the location of two access points to Amador Court, one appterjcimately 120 feet west of San Ramon Road and an additional location about 310-feet west of the first location. Both such access points would traverse the current Nichandrous holdings. These two locations are satisfactory to TJKM. TJKM will be happy to respond to any questions you or any of the property owners may have regarding these recommendations. CDK/nlc cc: Lee Thompson V . 157-032M 1 CK -2- • f .

Kinzel C JS!`;d PLANNING SUBJECT: Site Plan - The Fishery In your July 30, 1986 letter you requested our comments on the driveway design for The Fishery in the Dublin site plan. The raised median near the driveway is very important to restrict left-turn movements and possible blockage of the interim intersection just adjacent to San - Ramon Road. Therefore, an access scheme similar to that shown in the July 3, 1986 staff study drawing should be followed. To allow convenient "in" movements, the entrance portion of the driveway should be 24 feet wide from San Ramon Road to the first north-south aisle way. The portion of the entrance aisle adjacent to the median should have a minimum width of 14 feet. The median should be four feet wide to accommodate traffic signs. The exit aisle way should be at least 14 feet wide adjacent to the median. Curb return radii of approximately 25 feet should be provided for the driveway, for both the entrance and exit sides. The east nose of the median should extend to within about ten feet of.the west curb line of San Ramon Road. See the attached - Sketch. Please contact me or Ty Tekawa if there are questions.

South - R-S-D-20, Suburban Residence Combining District - The Springs Apartment Complex (Area 1 of the Plan) - West - PD, Planned Development District - Vacant lands carrying approval for a 174-unit multiple family residential • project (Area 2 of the Plan) ENVIRONMENTNAL REVIEW: The City proposes to adopt a Negative Declara- tion of Environmental Significance which finds that the proposed project will not have a significant impact on the environment. PREVIOUS ACTIONS: The City Council approved the San Ramon Road Specific Plan in June of 1983. The subject properties are a portion of Area 3 of the Plan and are designated for development for retail shopper uses. The Plan established design and land use regulations to direct the development of the various parcels within the Specific Plan. The Plan was prepared in response to the need for specific development guidelines in an area where property ownership was fragmented into small holdings and which faced access and internal - circulation problems. The Specific Plan identified Area 3 as the area with the best potential for the development of retail shopper stores oriented to providing additional comparison shopping goods for both Dublin and nearby community residents. The area's location along a major street, its proximity to the Regional Shopping Center (Stoneridge), and the fact that the site is situated along a direct route to and from Interstate 580 for a large area give the properties in Area 3 a development potential not found elsewhere in Dublin. On November 28, 1983, the City Council amended the San Ramon Road Specific Plan. The amendment allowed Shopping Centers of four acres or larger in size in Area 3 of the Plan to be partially occupied by personal service, financial institution or office use in addition to retail shopper uses. As indicated above, the Plan originally provided only for retail shopper uses in Area 3. -2- On June 11, 1984, the City Council approved the PD, Planned Development District Rezoning and Site Development Review (PA 83-042) for the 52,100+ square foot Dublin Town and Country Shopping Center. On June 23, 1986, the City Council further amended the San Ramon Road Specific Plan allowing occupancy in the Dublin Town & Country Shopping Center by uses generally provided for by the C-1, Retail Business District. The approach taken by the Council was to establish a Sub-Area in Area 3 of the Plan which encompasses only the 4.8+ acre Dublin Town & Country Shopping Center property. With approval of this Plan Amendment, the land use regula- tions for the shopping centers were relaxed to provide unlimited occupancy by personal service or financial uses, and to allow up to 40% occupancy by office uses. The current Specific Plan Amendment Study was authorized by the City Council on April 14, 1986. Under the Council's authorization, the Study was to cover only the 1.4+ acre Moret holding at the northern edge of Area 3. The Study was authorized to allow a review of the merits of establishing office uses on the Moret property. The action taken by the Council on June 23, 1986, regarding the Dublin Town & Country Shopping Center property, included direction by minute order to expand the scope of the Moret Study to include the remaining portions of Area 3 (above and beyond the Dublin Town & Country Shopping Center property). ANALYSIS: This section of the Report has been formatted to follow the text headings utilized in the text of the current San Ramon Road Specific Plan. For each heading, Staff attempts to provide background information to update the original text (e.g. , to advise of development actions taken since the adoption of the Specific Plan). The text headings discussed within this Report include: A) Existing Conditions and Land Use, B) Economic Demand for New Uses, C) Land Use Plan, D) Circulation System, and E) General Development Criteria. Discussion on headings A and B is limited to providing updated information or elaboration on the current Specific Plan text. No amendment to these two portions of the Plan are recommended. Discussion on headings C, D and E also provide an updating or an elaboration of the current text, but continue to provide recommended amendments to the Specific Plan in response to development actions taken since June, 1983. A. EXISTING CONDITIONS AND LAND USES At the present time, the Specific Plan Area is made up of ten separate property holdings. These holdings are utilized as noted in Figure 1 (Land Use and Zoning Map) and Chart 1 (Current Land Use Summary Chart). Since the Specific Plan's adoption in June, 1983, the following changes have occurred. Area 1 - No change. Area 2 - Morrison Homes gained approval for development of a multiple family residential project for 174 units on 12.4+ acres (unexercised to date). . Area 3 - Dublin Town & Country Shopping Center was approved and constructed, creating a 52,100+ square foot center over the 4'.8+ acre holding. Area 4 - No change beyond flood control improvements installed in conjunction with the JMH, Inc. - Arbor Creek in Area 5. Area 5 - JMH, Inc. gained approval for development of a multiple family residential project for 84 units on 5.8+ acres (built and occupied) . With the above actions, a total of 23+ acres of the 31.4+ acres of vacant or marginally developed lands which existed when the Specific F Plan was adopted in June, 1983, have received development entitlements. Development entitlements on 10.6 acres of that total having been exercised to date. With those actions, and with the pending development -3- proposals involving the Moret holding and the Rivers-Barton holding, there remain only three properties in the Plan Area that have not been developed to date, do not hold a valid development entitlement, or are pursuing development entitlements. All three of those properties are located in Area 3 of the Plan, and all three are currently partially developed. The three holdings are the Commercial Property, Ltd. holding (0.4+ acres), the Nichandros holding (3.1+ acres), and the East Bay Iceland holding (2.0+ acres). B. ECONOMIC DEMAND FOR NEW USES The Specific Plan provided analysis to evaluate the economic viability of the Plan's three land uses: Retail Commercial, Office, and Multiple Family Residential. Supplementing this material is the information contained within the Draft Market Analysis Report prepared for the Downtown Improvement Plan Study by Laventhol & Horwath. Two sections of that Report provide up- to-date analysis of the retail Market and Office Market in the Dublin Market areas. Portions of those sections of the Report have been included with this Report (see Attachment #13). Within the materials supplied for the Moret Specific Plan Amendment Study, the project proponents indicate that the development proposal for the 1.4+ acre site is being designed to fill the need of the small to mid-range office uses that desires to own its own building and have specific identity. It is envisioned by the project proponents that the 4-building, 33,000+ square foot complex may ultimately see each building being owned individually with the landscaped and parking areas held in common ownership. Information supplied by the project proponents for the Moret holding supporting the economic demand for office use is limited to citations of surveys indicated the large percentage of firms who could occupy small to mid-range office developments and a copy of information from Coldwell Bankers indicating East Bay Office absorption figures (see Attachment #14). A June 30, 1986, update from Coldwell Bankers entitled "Office Vacancy Index of the United States" indicates that new suburban office construction continues to drive the suburban vacancy rate upward (see Attachment #15). The report indicates that since the beginning of 1984, • multi-tenant office space occupancy has increased 8% to 10% per annum. As such, the accompanying rising vacancy levels are seen by Coldwell Bankers as not being a "product of sluggish suburban growth, but rather the product of aggressive investment in the construction of new office space." The June, 1986, Office Vacancy Index for the Oakland-East Bay Area, as calculated by Coldwell Bankers, stands at 27.4%, which sits above the Current National Average Suburban Vacancy Index. C. LAND USE PLAN The two amendments to the San Ramon Road Specific Plan that have to date been approved have served to amend this section of the Plan to accommodate a modified range of land uses in the Dublin Town & Country Shopping Center property. The second amendment prompted creation of a Sub-Area for Area 3 of the Plan, which encompassed the 4.8+ acre Shopping Center. As indicated elsewhere in this Report, only a small portion of the Plan Area has yet to be developed or does not currently have, or are pursuing, a development entitlement. Those remaining areas are located in Area 3 of the Plan and therefore any amendments to the Land Use Section of the Plan can be limited to Area 3 wherein Permitted Uses, Conditional Uses and Prohibited Uses are detailed. Development in Area 3 was initially envisioned to be for Retail Shopper Uses. The two Specific Plan Amendments adopted which dealt with the Dublin Town & Country Shopping Center initially expanded the range of allowable uses to include up to 25% occupancy by Personal Service, Office and Financial Uses and then effectively opened the occupancy of -4- the Center to any uses typically allowed in the C-1, Retail Business District. A "cap" of 40% occupancy by office uses was retained under the Plan Amendment. Acknowledging the lead provided by recent City Council actions involving the Specific Plan, the following options appear available in response to the development proposal to establish office uses on the 1.4+ acre Moret property: Option I - Adjustment of the allowable land uses for the 1.4+ acre Moret property creating a new Sub-Area for Area 3 of the Plan Under this option, an amendment to the Plan owuld be adopted to create a • second Sub-Area in Area 3. The new Sub-Area would cover the 1.4+ acre Moret property and provide for the development at this site which is "predominantly" office use in nature. As applied to the preliminary plans submitted for this property, this approach could be formulated to require retail type occupancies on the first floor of new structures (either. all four proposed structures - approximately 33% or 11,000+ square feet of the 33,000+ sq. ft. proposed, or for just the structures fronting along San Ramon Road - approximately 16.5% or 5,500+ sq. ft. of the 33,000+ sq. ft. proposed). Option II - Adjustment of the allowable land uses for the 1.4+ acre Moret property expanding the area covered under Area 3A of the Plan (Sub-Area of Area 3, consisting of the Dublin Town & Country Shopping Center) to include the Moret Property. Under this option, an amendment to the Land Use Section of the Plan would be adopted to incorporate the 1.4+ acre Moret property into Area 3A of the Plan (Sub-Area of Area 3, consisting of the Dublin Town & Country Shopping Center). Under the Land Use Regulations established for Area 3A, development of the Moret property could include up to 40% occupancy by Office Uses, unlimited occupancy by Personal Service or Financial Uses, and a wide range of Retail Shopper Uses. This approach would serve to generally apply the Land Use Regulations of the C-1, Retail Business District. As applied to the preliminary plans submitted for this property, this approach would most likely require Retail Shopper, Personal Service and/or Financial Uses for the front (easterly) portion of the property and allow Office Uses to be developed on the rearr_.(westerly) portion of the site. Option III - Adjustment of the allowable land uses for the bulk of the "unstudied" portion of Area 3 (the 8.2+ acre remainder of Area 3 after the Dublin Town & Country Shopping Center property is excluded). Sub-Option IIIA: Adopt an amendment to the Land Use Section of the Plan, applying a 25% "cap" for each property in this portion of Area 3 to allow partial occupancy by Personal Service, Office and Financial Uses, irregardless of property size. This approach would obviously not accommodate the proposed development scheme which has been forwarded by the project proponents for the Moret property. Irregardless of the approach taken by the Planning Commission and City Council on the Moret property, Staff recommends this option be adopted for the remainder of Area 3 properties to amend the current Land Use Regulations which still call for 100% occupancy by Retail Shopper Uses. Sub-Option IIIB: Adopt an amendment to the Land Use Section of the Plan similar to that described in Sub-Option IIIA, but with a "mechanism" to allow consideration of occupancies on individual properties which exceed the 25% "cap" on Personal Service, Office or Financial Uses. This "mechanism" could simply be allowing requests to be considered on a case-by-case basis for new development proposals reviewed under the Planned Development Rezoning request that is filed. For sites that have already been developed, the "mechanism" could be provision of an option to file a Conditional Use Permit request to allow occupancies of Personal Service, Office or Financial Uses in excess to the 25% "cap". F F Of the amendments under consideration by this Study, the requested changes to the Land Use Section of the Plan are the most substantive. Staff recommends that the Commission conduct the public hearing on the -5- Study and provide Staff direction on how they feel this Section of the Plan should be reformatted. For discussion purposes, and to potentially facilitate an action by the Commission, the Draft Resolution prepared by Staff outlines the following changes to the Land Use Section of the Plan: - Creates a new Sub-Area for Area 3, covering the 1.4+ acre Moret holding which would apply Option I outlined above by providing development to this site which is "predominantly" Office Use in nature. - Amends the existing Land Use Section for the remaining portion of Area 3 (covering the 7.0+ acres after elimination of the Dublin Town & Country Shoping Center property and the Moret property) to apply Sub- Option IIIA to those lands by applying a 25% "cap" for each property, irregardless of size, to allow partial occupancy by Personal Service, Office and Financial Uses. D. CIRCULATION SYSTEM The bulk of the "Key Items" identified in the San Ramon Road Specific Plan's Circulation Element have been put into place, or will be developed with the improvements proposed under the San Ramon Road Improvements - Phase II project. The work completed to date includes: - Creation of an extension of Amador Valley Boulevard. • - Road improvements along Silvergate Drive (for that section of San Ramon Road abutting the Arbor Creek project - Area 5. of the Specific Plan.) - Road improvements along portions of San Ramon Road (including partial frontage improvements along the Arbor Creek project - Area 5 of the Specific Plan and frontage improvements along the Dublin Town & Country Shopping Center project - Area 3 of the Specific Plan). - Road improvements at the intersection of Donlon Way and Dublin Boulevard, and the completion of Donlon. Way road improvements north of Dublin Boulevard (done in conjunction with the Public Storage and Northwood Homes office projects - which lie outside the Specific Plan). - The `remainder of the roadway improvements listed as "Key Items" in the Circulation Element (the widening of San Ramon Road, work at the intersection of San Ramon Road and Dublin Boulevard, and the installation of signals at the intersection of San Ramon Road and Silvergate Drive) are anticipated to be provided by San Ramon Road Improvements - Phase II project. That work is anticipated to be accomplished within six to eight months. With the San Ramon Road improvements forthcoming, only two "Key Items" of the Plan's Circulation Element will remain to be provided. Those two items are: - Restriction of the number of direct access points from adjacent properties to Silvergate Drive, San Ramon Road and Dublin Boulevard. - Provision of a pedestrian/bicycle system for the Plan Area. As regards the first item listed, restrictions of access points along the frontages of Silvergate Drive and Dublin Boulevard have been secured, as well as restrictions for the San Ramon Road frontage along the Dublin Town & Country Shopping Center property. Direction on the number and location of driveways for the bulk of San. Ramon Road frontage has been provided in detail through the analysis by TJKM dated April 23, 1986 (see Attachment #16). This information serves to supplement and elaborate upon the TJKM Consultant's March, 1983, Traffic Report by providing direction for the number and location of driveways for San Ramon Road north of Amador Valley Boulevard and for the number and F location of driveways extending off the north side of the recently installed Amador Valley Boulevard extension. -6- As regards the second item listed, the Morrison Homes multiple family residential project approval provides for the creation of pedestrian/ bicycle access extending from the eastern terminus of Shadow Drive through that 12.4+ acre property along Martin Canyon Creek and on out to the cul-de-sac established with the extension of Amador Valley Boulevard. It was anticipated that subsequent developments on the Moret and Rivers-Barton properties would allow the extension of the pedestrian/bicycle access proposed along Martin Canyon Creek. It is Staff's recommendation that any Specific Plan Amendment approved for Area 3 of the Plan include an amendment to the Circulation Element of the Plan to incorporate the recommendations outlined in the April 23, 1986, TJKM Report. Those recommendations can be summarized as follows: • - Restrict access to San Ramon Road to the development of a single "shared driveway" between the Moret property and the Rivers-Barton property. - Development of the "shared driveway" with a 35 foot width with 25 foot curb radius returns and a restriction of any on-site circulation connection to the driveway within 50 feet of the San Ramon Road curb line. - Development of two "shared driveways" on the north side of the Amador Valley Boulevard extension respectively located 120+ feet and 430+ feet west of San Ramon Road. - Refinement to the location and nature of pedestrian/bicycle easements from Shadow Drive through to San Ramon Road. E. GENERAL DEVELOPMENT CRITERIA This section of the Plan is the third area of discussion where Staff would recommend specific amendments to the current Plan. The recommended amendments fit into one of three categories: 1) amendments to reflect changes that have occurred in the Plan Area subsequent to its June, 1983, adoption; 2) elaboration of dimensional development criteria in the eight sub-categories listed in the current Plan; and 3) amendments in the form of additional sub-categories to the eight current sub-categories creating sub-categories 9) "Existing Vegetation - Project Landscaping, and 10) Project Architecture. Provided below is • discussion on each of the eight existing sub-categories in this section with an indication of modifications and/or elaboration of the development criteria currently provided. Also provided is discussion on the two proposed additional sub-categories and draft proposed language for inclusion into the General Development Criteria Section of the Plan. 1. Zoning - Staff recommends that no change be made to this sub- category of the General Development Criteria. Staff feels it remains appropriate to require a Planned Development zoning request to be filed for all new development proposals. Staff feels the Planned Development zoning process is necessary to assure that all future development conforms to the identified objectives for the Specific Plan which were adopted by the City Council and include: - Alleviation of special access problems by designing future road locations and access requirements. - Promotion of larger scale, integrated development by encouragement and requirement of the combination of smaller lots. - Coordination of development among multiple property owners. 2. Compatibility of Uses - Staff feels the current text in this sub- category lays an adequate framework for the scope of analysis to review compatibility of land uses of projects at the development plan review stage. -7- • In light of the proposal for office development on the Moret property, which increases the likelihood that multi-story construction will occur at that site, Staff recommends the following language be incorporated into this sub-category of the General Development Criteria Section of the Plan: Applications for Planned Development Zoning in Area 3 of the Plan involving commercial lands adjoining existing or planned multi-story construction shall have included as part of the development plan review application plan sections to detail the proximity and relationship of the relative land uses. In light of the development of the Dublin Town & Country Shopping Center and the "back-door" orientation it presents to the adjoning East Bay Iceland, Inc. property to the south, Staff recommends that the following language also be incorporated into this sub-category of the General Development Criteria Section of the Plan: Redevelopment of the East Bay Iceland, Inc. property shall reflect a site plan layout which attempts to maximize the coordination between its planned uses and the adjoining Dublin Town & Country Shopping Center property to the north as regards building location and orientation, vehicular and pedestrian cross access, landscape treatment and use of ancillary structures (location and design). - 3. Circulation Improvements - As indicated earlier in this Report, previous traffic analysis to the Specific Plan Area prepared by TJKM has been supplemented by the preparation of a focused review of the portion_ of Area 3 of the Plan located north of the Amador Valley Bouelvard extension. Staff recommends that the Findings and Recommendations of that April 23, 1986, Memorandum be cited in this sub-category of the General Development Criteria Section of the Plan. The additional text recommended to be added to the Plan to -reference the supplementary traffic analysis is as follows: r_- r_. Circulation improvements established in conjunction with the development of the portion of Area 3 of the Plan located north of the Amador Valley Boulevard extension shall reflect the Findings and Recommendations of the TJKM Memorandum dated April 23, 1986 (see Appendix B) . In addition to these adjustments, Staff recommends that direction be given for the future use of the 51-foot + width stem extending westerly from San Ramon Road to Area 2 of the Plan (the Morrison Homes property) and running along the south side of the East Bay Iceland, Inc. property. With the Site Development Review Permit approval for the 174-unit Morrison Homes project, direction was provided for the future use of this 51-foot + strip. Staff recommends that the general direction outlined in that condition be incorporated into this sub-category of the General Development Criteria Section of the Plan to underscore the desirability to incorporate the property stem into one of the surrounding developments. The suggested language is as follows: Development of the 0.4 acre stem remainder (346+' x 51+') extending easterly to San Ramon Road from the southeast corner of Area 2 of the Plan shall be subject to the Planned Development (PD) Rezoning process and shall be developed as part of a coordinated site plan tying the stem either to the Morrison Homes-Kildara Project and/or to the F • adjoining properties located north or south of the F • stem. -8- 4. Physical Constraints - The current plan text points out two special physical development constraints present within the Specific Plan Area (location within a potential geological hazard area and the flooding potential due to the presence of Martin Canyon Creek). No amendment or elaboration to the- current Plan text is recommended by Staff other than inclusion of a statement which indicates that geologic reports which cover undeveloped or marginally developed properties in Area 3 of the Plan may likely require on-site sub- surface trenching. The additional text recommended to be added is as follows: Geologic Reports prepared in conjunction with the Development Plan requests covering undeveloped or marginally developed properties in Area 3 of the Plan may require on-site sub-surface trenching to assess potential geotechnical hazards. 5. Noise - The current Plan text indicates that anticipated future noise levels along perimeter streets will result in noise exposures in excess of acceptable commercial and residential noise levels. Staff recommends that a statement be incorporated into this Sub- Category of the General Development Criteria Section of the Plan which indicates that preparation of an acoustical study may be required for any new commercial or residential developments to precisely determine existing and future noise levels and which outlines specific construction and design measures that will need to be taken to provide the appropriate noise attenuation. The additional text recommended to be added is as follows: Acoustical Reports may be required to be prepared in conjunction with the building permit process for any new commercial or residential developments in the Plan Aera. Where required, said studies shall determine existing and future noise levels and shall outline specific construction and design measures that will be taken, as necessary, to provide the appropriate noise attenuation. 6. ' 1 Setbacks - The current text provides direction for setbacks between new development and adjacent existing residential areas. Direction should also be provided for setbacks between the planned residential development in Area 2 (the Morrison Homes-Kildara Project) and future commercial development in Area 3 of the Plan. The Dublin Town & Country Shopping Center was developed with a mixture of 13-foot and 23-foot setbacks along the west property boundary (adjoining Area 2). The approved plans for the Morrison Homes-Kildara Project in Area 2 will observe a typical setback of 60+ feet from the project's east boundary. The unit proposed at the northeast corner of that project is the one exception to that Standard, where a 20+ foot setback is proposed. Based on current and proposed development plans, it appears that a 15-foot setback between new commercial developments in Area 3 of the Plan and the adjoining easterly boundary of Area 2 of the Plan will provide the absolute minimum separation of the two land use areas. Staff recommends a 20-foot minimum setback dimension continue to be observed for this area unless a lesser setback can be demonstrated at the development plan review stage to retain visual and acoustic privacy for existing or future residential uses in Area 2. The additional text recommended to be added is as follows: Building setbacks for new development in Area 3 adjacent to the easterly limits of Area 2 can be reduced to 15 feet if it can be demonstrated that • } visual and acoustic privacy for existing or planned planned residential uses in Area 2 can be provided with this lesser setback standard. -9- As regards the setback standards between the Moret property and the. Arbor Creek project to the north (Area 5 of the Plan), Staff recommends that the standard remain flexible and be determined at the time of design review for the Moret property. The building location(s) utilized should maximize the privacy of the residential development to the north while using a building location that makes best use of the existing vegetation canopy in the Martin Canyon Creek Corridor. The additional text recommended to be added is as follows: The setback standard observed at the northern limit _ of Area 3 shall be determined at the time of development plan review. The building location(s) shall be such to maximize the privacy of the residential development at the north side of Martin Canyon Creek and shall take into consideration the existing vegetation canopy in the Creek. 7. Parking Standards - No change in this sub-category is recommended by Staff. 8. Height Limits - No adjustment in this Sub-Category is recommended by Staff. 9. Existing Vegetation - Project Landscaping - The presence of Martin Canyon Creek corridor through the Specific Plan (Area 4) provides a natural buffer strip between land uses and helps provide definition and uniqueness to the area as a whole. Direction through the Plan's General Development Criteria Sections should be established to underscore the goal of retaining all major trees within the Creek corridor and to provide direction to have project architecture of new structures adjoining the Creek corridor designed and located in such a manner to make best use of the existing foliage. Existing trees located outside the Creek corridor should also be viewed as an important existing design feature and should be retained wherever feasible. Project landscaping should be provided which serves to promote good r_. transitions between adjoining projects and land uses. The overall design of project landscaping should serve to provide a desirable environment and serve as a design feature to provide conceputal compatibility with the immediate environment of the site. To provide for the items discussed above, Staff recommends that the following text be added to the General Development Criteria Section of the Plan as a new Sub-Category labeled "Existing Vegetation- Project Landscaping". 9. Existing Vegetation - Project Landscaping - To the greatest extent feasible, the existing vegetation within the Martin Canyon Creek corridor extending through the Plan Area shall be left undisturbed. Said vegetation shall be utilized and enhanced to serve as a natural buffer strip between land uses in the Plan Area and as a design element, with use of appropriate building design and siting, to compliment and enhance new development adjoining the Creek area. Existing, mature trees located in the Plan Area which are located outside the Creek corridor shall be retained as feasible and incorporated into the project design of new developments. Project landscaping shall be of a design, mass, scale and relationship to promote harmonious transitions between adjoining projects and land uses and to create an internal sense of order and provide a desirable environment for } • occupants, visitors and the general community. Project landscaping shall serve as a design feature to provide conceptual compatibility with the immediate environment of the site. -10- • 10. Project Architecture - Staff recommends that some generalized Architectural Design Standards be incorporated into the General Development Criteria Section of the Plan as a new Sub-Category • labeled "Project Architecture". The following text is recommended - for inclusion into the Plan. 10. Project Architecture - The following:Design Standards shall be considered and applied, as applicable, to new development in the Specific Plan Area: A. Consistency and compatibility with. applicable elements of the City's General Plan. B. Conceptual compatibility of design with the immediate environment of the site. C. Appropriateness of the design to the site and function of the project. D. Promotes harmonious transitions in scale and character in areas between different designated land uses. E. Compatibility with future construction both on and off the site. F. Expresses an appropriate sense of identity with its function. G. Creates an internal sense of order and provides a desirable environment for occupants, visitors, and the general community. . H. Utilizes materials, textures, colors, and details of construction which are an appropriate expression of its design concept and function and are compatible with the adjacent and neighboring structures and functions.

Cm. Mack opened the public hearing and called for the Staff Report. Mr. Gailey advised that the subject properties include the Moret, Rivers— Barton, Commercial Property Ltd. , Nichandros, and East Bay Iceland, Inca . holdings. He stated that the text of the Staff Report followed the same format as the text within the current San Ramon Road Specific Plan, and elaborated upon the following five sections within the Plan which required consideration as related to the Study: A) Existing Conditions and Land Uses, B) Economic Demand for New Uses, C) Land Use Plan, D) Circulation System, and • E) General Development Criteria: Mr. Galley reviewed each of the sections listed, discussing in—depth- the three options provided within the Land Use - Plan Section of the Staff Report. • Mr. Roy Moret, Property Owner, expressed appreciation to the Staff for the comprehensive presentation and for the positive tenor of their recommenda- tions. He`-stated that he had two main areas of concern, including: 1) requirement of provision of:a shared driveway with the adjoining Rivers- , Barton property; he said assurance had been given by the City Council for the installation of a driveway on the southern half of his property; and 2) he • indicated opposition to the requirement for inclusion of retail sales in . future• developments in Area 3 of the Plan, stating anticipating that future developers would return to make an appeal to the Planning Commission for relief from this requirement. Myron Crawford gave an overview of the approach taken by the Planning Team for review of the subject project. He stated that originally the proposal included a proposed entrance on the northern portion of the property. He advised that because of access constraints to the property, he did not believe the area could feasibly be developed with retail shops. As a result, the Planning Team was pursuing a proposal for office development at the subject property. He showed a copy of the original parking layout and discussed traffic problems related to the subject site. He indicated support of Staff's Option I, presented in the Staff Report, but stated concerns regarding the - precise language in the Draft Resolution. He referred to the following items - of concern: 1. On page 2 of the Draft Resolution, he requested that the word "allowed" (making occupancy of Retail Shopper, Personal Service and/or Financial Uses optional) be substituted for the word "provided" (which would make some level of occupancy by those uses mandatory). • Regular Meeting fir PM 71 � _ J , 4 t g XC � of Pe 8-fig--8Co • • 2. On page 2 he also requested that the phrase "and restricted to 70% of the total gross floor area of the Commercial Facility" under Permitted Uses be deleted from the Draft Resolution. Mr. Crawford indicated that the design of the buildings would be such that retail shops could potentially be located on the first floor of the buildings, while the second and third stories would house office—type uses. He advised that the requirement of limited occupancy by Retail Uses was a major problem for the project proponents. 3. Mr. Crawford questioned the necessity of the first paragraph of Sub— Category 2 — Compatibility of Uses on page 4 (regarding multi—story construction) of the Draft Resolution. He said it was his understanding that this had been covered in the existing text of the San Ramon Road Specific Plan. 4. Mr.. Crawford expressed concern regarding the last two paragraphs on page . .3 of the Draft Resolution (detailing requirement for shared driveways). 5. Regarding Sub—Category 5 — Noise on page 4 (requirement for preparation of Acoustical Studies), Mr. Crawford said he thought this had been adequately addressed by the existing text of the San Ramon Road Specific Plan. 6. Regarding Sub—Category 8 — Setbacks on page 5 of the Draft Resolution, Mr. Crawford expressed concern regarding the proposed method to determine setback standards. Mr. Jess White, reiterated the concerns expressed by both Mr. Moret and Mr. Crawford. He stated that he thought the project proposal for the Moret property was somewhat unique in that it was geared for an owner/user type of tenant, and great flexibility (in terms of the types of uses permitted) would be needed-in-approaching potential tenants. He said that it was not the Owner/Devel-oper's intent to compete with the major retail or office complexes, but to provide an opportunity for smaller groups which need access to the freeway, good identity, flexibility, and had the desire to own their own buildings. Mr. White also expressed concern about the shared driveway, indicating his calculation that about six parking spaces would be lost if this requirement was imposed. Mr. Gailey gave an overview of the general traffic circulation concerns in the subject area. He advised that the Traffic Consultants, TJKM, were involved from the outset of the Specific Plan Amendment Study. He reviewed the findings and recommendations made by TJKM. Mr. Galley indicated that Staff felt TJKM had provided very concise input and that their concerns must be given careful consideration. Michael Johnstone, 5927 Almaden Lane, Oakland, Project Architect for The Fishery, advised that the Developer he represented was willing to either provide the shared driveway or develop with a separate driveway. In response to an inquiry from Cm. Raley, Mr. Johstone indicated that the Fishery did not have a viewpoint related to the pros or cons of the Moret proposal. He said he thought whatever uses were decided upon for the Moret property would be compatible with The Fishery. • Mr. Bob Scrak, General Manager of East Bay Iceland, provided background information regarding the anticipated long range use of the East Bay Iceland property. .

Raley stated that he thought the goal of the Specific Plan was to designate the subject area for retail shopper uses. Cm. Burnham indicated his agreement with Cm. Raley.
