FINDINGS A. Pursuant to Section 8.32.070 of the Dublin Municipal Code, the City Council finds as follows. 1. The Kaiser Commercial Project (“the Project”) PD-Planned Development zoning meets the purpose and intent of Chapter 8.32 in that it provides a comprehensive development plan that creates a desirable use of land that is sensitive to surrounding land uses by virtue of the layout and design of the site plan. 2. Development of the Kaiser Commercial Project under the PD-Planned Development zoning will be harmonious and compatible with existing and future development in the surrounding area in that the site will provide new commercial in an area that has similar uses nearby and is also adjacent to existing and future workplaces and residential neighborhoods. B. Pursuant to Sections 8.120.050.A and B of the Dublin Municipal Code, the City Council finds as follows. 1. The PD-Planned Development zoning for Kaiser Commercial Project will be harmonious and compatible with existing and potential development in the surrounding area in that the proposed Site Plan has considered a land use type and density that is compatible with the adjacent areas and densities. 2. The project site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of the zoning district being proposed in that the project site is flat with an improved public street on the north, a private street to the east and served by existing public utilities. The project site conditions were documented in the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) that has been prepared, and the environmental impacts that have been identified will be mitigated to the greatest degree possible. There are no site challenges that were identified in the EIR that will present an impediment to utilization of the site for the intended purposes. There are no major physical or topographic constraints and thus the site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of the commercial uses approved through the PD zoning. 3. The PD-Planned Development zoning will not adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing or working in the vicinity, or be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare in that the project will comply with all applicable development regulations and standards and will implement all adopted mitigation measures. 4. The PD-Planned Development zoning is consistent with and in conformance with the Dublin General Plan, in that the proposed commercial center is consistent with the Medical Campus/Commercial land use designation for the site. C. On September 20, 2016, the City Council certified the Kaiser Dublin Medical Center Project EIR which included the subject parcel identified as Phase 1B. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15168(c)(2), the project was examined to determine if another environmental document 2 should be prepared.

The architectural style is modern with clean lines and enhanced bold geometry using high- quality materials and a strong color palette. The architectural design shall reflect the following standards: • Employ high quality materials to provide visual interest in the project and to complement its surroundings. • The overall character and feel of the area shall use a variety of cohesive styles, materials, colors and textures. • Use diversity of textures in the building finishes providing a varied and interesting base form for the buildings. • The simple form of the building is enhanced by the juxtaposition of protruding planes, material textures, and colors. • The design for the entries to parking lots should be articulated and detailed such that employees and visitors can easily identify pedestrian and vehicular access points • Provide functional amenities and spaces where hotel guests and visitors will gather and socialize, with landscaping, outdoor seating, enhanced paving treatment, and other features to provide an appropriate urban scale for the development. • Incorporate features such as different wall planes, heights, wall textures, roof elements, signs, light fixtures and landscaping to contribute layers of detail at the pedestrian level. 6 Illustrative examples of architectural style: 6. Preliminary Landscape Plan. The landscape design of the project shall include the following: • Inviting streetscapes along Dublin Boulevard and at pedestrian entries to draw pedestrians into the site. Through multiple modes of circulation, plaza spaces and programmed indoor and outdoor space, social interaction thrives. Through the creative use of planting, hardscape, site furnishings and lighting, the commercial center of the project site helps to promote community awareness and vitality. • A dedicated pedestrian and bicycle pathway connecting the parcels to the east and west through the project site. • The open spaces within the site appeal to all users. Distinct and varied activities, seating options and shade, allow for a diverse user group as well as a unique and identifiable character. 7 • Through the use of a varied planting palette, the public realm and the private site will feel linked but separate. The use of screening shrubs and accent fencing will provide a visual buffer while softening the edge. • Planting Design will create year-round interest with variegated cultivars and plant types with visual interest through all seasons. Plant palette will be drought tolerant and environmentally appropriate for the Dublin climate. Planting design will accommodate plants at their mature size for minimal pruning and shearing. Shrubs will be used to minimize the visual presence of loading, trash, utility and service areas. Evergreen trees and hedges will be utilized to provide screening between separate uses. Create a pedestrian corridor that connects the existing the Water Quality Basin trail to the west, through the site, and to Keegan St and the Kaiser Medical center to the east 7. Consistency with General Plan and any applicable Specific Plan. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan land use Medical Campus/Commercial, which permits a floor area ratio of 0.25 to 0.60 and accommodates a range of commercial uses including regional- and community-serving retail uses, professional and administrative offices, hotel, entertainment, limited automotive sales, and eating and drinking establishments. 8 8. Inclusionary Zoning Regulations. The Inclusionary Zoning Regulations do not regulate non-residential projects, so therefore this is not applicable. 9. Aerial Photo. 10.
