opening to serve the public and maintained on an ongoing basis to the satisfaction of Dublin Police
Services:
46. The Applicant/Developer shall comply with all applicable City of Dublin Non Residential Security
Ordinance requirements.
47. Employee exit doors shall be equipped with 180-degree viewers if there is not a burglary resistant
window panel in the door from which to scan the exterior.
48. Exterior lighting is required over all doors. The applicant shall submit a final lighting plan for
approval by the Dublin Police. Lighting of all exterior areas shall be designed to maximize
surveillance and reduce conflicts with building design, mature landscaping, and to minimize glare.
49. Security lighting shall be provided in parking lot areas at 1.0 candle lights at ground level.
Lighting fixtures shall be of a vandal resistant type.
50. Landscaping features and outdoor amenities shall be designed to reduce their attractiveness to
skateboarders and vandals.
51. Exterior landscaping shall be kept at a minimal height and fullness giving patrol officers and the
general public surveillance capabilities of the area. Shrubs and ground cover shall not directly
cover windows and doorways. River rock used near parking lots or commercial buildings shall be
permanently affixed.
52. All entrances to the parking areas shall be posted with appropriate signs per Sec. 22658(a) of the
California Vehicle Code, to assist in removing vehicles at the property owner's/manager's request.
53. The Applicant/Developer shall keep the site clear of graffiti vandalism on a regular anà continuous

54. The perimeter of the site shall be fenced during construction, and security lighting and patrols shall
be employed as necessary. The Applicant/Developer shall provide after hours call-out information
to Police Services on an "Emergency Response Form." All information shall be kept current and
up to date.
Landscaping
55. Change proposed ground cover material on the northernmost 120 feet of the median between the
main entrance and exit drive to a plant that is close to the ground and does not achieve any height.
Since the stop sign is proposed to be removed for northbound vehicle traffic in order to encourage
better flow from the Hacienda/Gleason intersection (See Condition #23), changing the ground
cover to something that is low-lying will ensure that visibility is not obstructed. Installing
hardscape (i.e. river rock or other decorative paving) in this area would also be acceptable and
would guarantee that landscape does not grow to a height to compromise traffic safety.

56. The adopted Emerald Park Streetscape Design Guidelines for the current and former Alameda
County Surplus Property Authority land (of which this parcel is a part) include design items that
have not yet been integrated into the Project Landscape Plans. The Streetscape plans show a
separated sidewalk along Gleason Drive and the Cinnamomum camphora (Camphor Tree) as the

separated sidewalk along the entirety of the Gleason Drive frontage. In the Emerald Park
Streetscape Design Guidelines, a 13' wide parkway strip is shown. However, Staff is willing to
accept a smaller 6' parkway strip between the street and the 6' wide sidewalk in the interests of
retaining as much of the adjacent berm and bio-swale as possible. In this strip, the approved street
tree shall be planted along with the appropriate groundcover. These modifications to the Project
Plans shall be made before an encroachment permit can be issued.
Responsible Agency: Planning
When required: Prior to the issuance of an encroachment permit and prior to the
establishment of use and the building opening to serve the public

banksias (Banksia Rose), Trachelospermum jasminoides (Star Jasmine), Pittosporum tobira
(Tobira), Arbutus unedo (Strawberry Tree), and Celtis australis (European Hackberry). DSRSD
review and approval must be completed prior to installation of the plants.
