DESCRIPTION:
Background
Grafton Plaza is a 12.23-acre mixed-use development located at the southeast corner
of Dublin Boulevard and Grafton Street (see Figure 1 below). The 3.68 -acre project site
is the last remaining development area within the larger Grafton Plaza project. The
project site has a General Plan Land Use Designation of Mi xed Use 2/Campus Office
Page 2 of 9
and has Planned Development Zoning. The project site is relatively flat and
undeveloped.
In June 2010, the City Council approved a General Plan Amendment and Planned
Development Zoning District with a Stage 1 Development Plan (Ord inance No. 10-10)
for the 12.23-acre Grafton Plaza project to allow a mixed-use development as Option 1
and a campus/office development as Option 2. The approved development plan allows
a range of commercial uses such as retail and tutoring/educational ser vices,
professional and administrative offices, hotel, entertainment, and eating and drinking
establishments. The property owner chose to proceed with development under Option 1
to create a mixed-use development.
The City Council held several Study Sessions to review the proposed master plan for
Grafton Plaza, and in April 2016, approved a Planned Development Zoning Stage 2
Development Plan (Ordinance No. 05-16) for the site. The Planned Development
Zoning serves as a master plan for a coordinated and integrated mixed-use
development with sites for a hotel, 115 townhomes, and a retail commercial center with
34,500-55,400 square feet of development. The Stage 2 Development Plan established
the overall site plan including vehicular access and circulation, general siting of the
buildings, on-site circulation, and an overarching priority to create a pedestrian -focused
development. The 127-room, 63,298-square-foot Aloft hotel is complete, and the 115-
unit Apex townhouse project is under construction.
The Applicant, Eddie Li, is proposing to construct the third and final phase of Grafton
Plaza, which is the retail commercial component. The proposed project implements the
master plan and includes three commercial buildings totaling 31,860 square feet,
including two retail buildings with 16,038 square feet and 6,055 square feet,
respectively, and a daycare building with 9,767 square feet and an integrated outdoor
play area.
The current request for the proposed project includes:
- Planned Development Zoning – Minor amendments to the Planned
Development Zoning Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plans.
- Site Development Review Permit – Site Development Review Permit for three
commercial buildings and associated site improvements, including landscaping,
trash enclosures, pedestrian and bicycle facilities, plazas, and stormwater
capture.
- Minor Use Permit – Minor Use Permit to allow a reduction in parking of 16
parking stalls for shared parking.

ANALYSIS:
Planned Development Rezone
The application includes minor amendments to the approved Planned Development
(PD) Zoning Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plans to amend the list of permitted
uses and to make minor modifications to the site plan.
The PD established permitted and conditionally permitted uses. This project proposes to
amend the list of permitted and conditionally permitted uses (Attachment 1 – Exhibit A)
to add daycare as a permitted use consistent with other similar City zoning districts. The
use would be added with the requirement for a Zoning Clearance or Minor Use Permit
to evaluate compliance with the development standards for daycare facilities contained
in Dublin Municipal Code Chapter 8.82.
The PD established a site plan which among other things identifies the location of
buildings along Grafton Street and along the southern boundary of the commercial area.
The PD also established vehicular and pedestrian access points, paseos, common
gathering and open space plaza areas, and coordinated architectural elements . The
intent of the PD is to create an integrated mixed-use development (see Figure 2 below).

The proposed project includes minor adjustments to building siting and footprints .
Therefore, the application includes minor amendments to the PD to relocate the east-
west pedestrian pathway shown on the approved site plan. No changes are proposed to
the approved vehicular access. As proposed, this minor revision to the site plan would
be consistent with the development regulations in the Stage 2 Development Plan and
overall intent to maximize commercial opportunities in the area. Refer to the Site
Development Review Permit, below, for further analysis of the site plan.
Figure 2 – Existing and Proposed Site Plan
EXISTING STAGE 2 SITE PLAN PROPOSED AMENDMENT
An Ordinance approving amendments to the Planned Development Zoning Stage 1 and
Stage 2 Development Plans for Grafton Plaza is included as Attachment 1.
Site Development Review Permit
Site Plan
The proposed site plan would provide interconnected pedestrian and vehicular
circulation throughout the site and connections to adjacent developments. As previously
noted, minor adjustments to building siting and footprints are proposed requiring the
relocation of a pedestrian pathway that would traverse the site east to west to connect
Grafton Street and the residential component of the project. The pathway would be
relocated approximately 50 feet to the north and located on the north side of “Retail B”
and the day care building. Additional pedestrian connections would remain for the north
to south pathway from Dublin Boulevard to the Water Quality Basin. Vehicular access to
the proposed surface parking lot on the project site would be provided from the
driveway off Summit Road consistent with the Site Plan approved for Grafton Plaza.
Summit Road is accessed from Dublin Boulevard and is designed to serve this project
and the Apex residential development. Circulation for all parcels within the overall
Grafton Plaza mixed-use project is interconnected including along Grafton Street,
allowing both pedestrians and vehicles to navigate through the entire property. Refer to
Figure 3.
Page 5 of 9
The site has frontages on both Dublin Boulevard and Grafton Street. However, it is the
intention of the Planned Development for buildings to be oriented along Grafton Street,
adding to the ‘Main Street’ feel and contributing to the existing commercial operators on
the west side of the street. Both retail buildings would be orientated toward Grafton
Street and the daycare building would be located centrally on the project site without
street facing frontage.
Integration among the three projects that comprise the Grafton Plaza Planned
Development (i.e., the Aloft Hotel, Apex residential townhouses, and proposed retail
and daycare buildings) includes: 1) a motor court plaza with enhanced pavement
centrally located on-site; 2) a linear ’Plaza’ element between the commercial and hotel
uses that extends across Grafton Street to Summit Road; and 3) a pase o element
between the hotel and residential uses. The paseo would provide a link to the trail
accessing the Water Quality Basin to the south (visual open space).
Architecture
The proposed buildings are designed to conform to the Grafton Plaza Architectura l
Guidelines and would be compatible with the Apex residential townhouse and Aloft
Hotel projects. The overall form of the two buildings fronting Grafton Street are reflective
of the ‘Main Street’ appearance of the existing buildings with the centrally loc ated
daycare building promoting a more modern design while retaining the high design
quality, theme colors, and materials of the surroundings. The retail and daycare
buildings are generally single-story with architectural features providing vertical
Figure 3: Site Plan
Page 6 of 9
articulation, varying roof forms, heights, articulated corner elements, and changes in
roof forms. The majority of buildings in the project would be single -story, 35 feet high,
with taller architectural features at approximately 50 feet, which would be below the
height limit evaluated for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) analysis of 55
feet. The varying forms and mass of the buildings generate interest throughout the
project. The prominent colors of the buildings are natural earth tones with brick
accenting throughout, along with clear glazing and projecting canopies. The daycare
building is designed with graphic inserts to provide a visual queue to the educational
use of the building. Figure 4 shows proposed illustrative architectural elevations.
Figure 4: Architectural Elevations
Retail uses are proposed to front Grafton Street, with public access for future
businesses. Exterior materials include textured stucco finish, brick, and metal accents.
Horizontal and vertical variation through canopies, alternating parapet heights and roof
feature elements. Pedestrian entries to the commercial areas are defined with
prominent glass entryways and pronounced entrances. Decorative features and
materials are also added to provide interest to the building .
Landscape
The preliminary landscape plan includes a conceptual plant pallet with a variety of trees,
including 24-inch and 36-inch box trees along the perimeter of the site, within parking
islands and in front of commercial facades. The interior of t he site would be accented
with a mix of one-gallon to five-gallon shrubs. New landscape areas are proposed with a
variety of drought tolerant plants suitable for low maintenance and water conserving
efforts. The pedestrian connections running to the east -west and north-south would be
lined with landscaping to enhance the pedestrian experience. On the north -south
connection to the Water Quality Basin, a bioretention area is proposed to be introduced.
In order to retain the amenity value of this space, the landscaping would be enhanced to
provide a planting plan, walkway, and amenity features such as benches, as provided
on Sheets L1.1-L3.2 of the Project Plans (Attachment 3 – Exhibit A to Attachment 2).

Public Art Compliance
The applicant intends to satisfy the City’s public art requirement through the payment of
in-lieu fees secured by a condition of approval.
Minor Use Permit
Parking requirements for the proposed development are regulated by the Zoning
Ordinance (Section 8.76.080.D). The parking requirem ents for the project are the sum
of the different uses. The following table illustrates the number of parking stalls that are
required for the use.

In order to allow the proposed use with les s than the required number of parking spaces
on-site, the Applicant is requesting a parking reduction. DMC Section 8.76.050 (Parking
Reductions for Shared Parking) provides that when shared off -street parking is
proposed between two or more adjacent use types, a reduction in off-street parking
requirements (from the sum of the parking required by each use type) may be granted
with a Minor Use Permit if each of the following standards are met:
1) The Minor Use Permit findings can be made;
2) A sufficient number of spaces are provided to meet the greatest parking
demands of the participating use types and to ensure that there will not be
a parking deficiency;
3) Satisfactory evidence is provided that the use types, by their natures and
operating times, will not conflict with each other;
4) Overflow parking will not adversely affect any adjacent use; and
5) Additional documents, covenants, deed restrictions, or other agreements
as may be deemed necessary by the Community Development Director
are executed to assure that the requirement parking spaces provided are
maintained and that uses with similar hours and parking requirements as
those uses sharing the parking facilities remain for the life of the
documents, covenants, deed restrictions, or other agreements.

A Shared Parking Analysis was prepared by Fehr and Peers, dated May 2019
(Attachment 4 – Exhibit B to Attachment 2), and reviewed by the City’s Transportation
and Operations Manager. The Study concludes that Transportation Demand
Management measures can be incorporated to ensure adequate parking is provided for
the greatest parking demands at the site. Recommended measures to support the
parking reduction are included as Conditions of Approval. These include a requirement
that 17 off-site parking spaces along Zenith Avenue and Summit Road be designated
for employees (Monday to Friday 7.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m.), six spaces within the parking
lot be designated loading zones with a 10 -minute stopping restriction (Monday to Friday
7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.) and the remaining stalls (119 spaces) be open to visitor parking.
Adjacent sites would not be affected; however, measures are included to accommodate
reciprocal agreements with neighboring sites, should off -site parking be required. The
recommendations of the Shared Parking Analysis have been accepted by the Applicant,
including the Conditions of Approval.
A Resolution approving the Site Development Review Permit and Minor Use Permit is
included as Attachment 2.
CONSISTENCY WITH THE GENERAL PLAN, SPECIFIC PLANS, AND ZONING
ORDINANCE:
The project is consistent with the General Plan land use designation of Mixed
Use/Campus Office which allows a range of commercial uses including regional- and
community-serving retail uses, professional and administrative offices, hotel,
entertainment, and eating and drinking establishments. The General Plan encourages
projects to relate well to the surrounding developments, and the proposed project is
compatible with the surrounding neighborhood that includes commercial a nd residential
uses. The proposed project is consistent with the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan because
the Plan states that regionally-oriented commercial uses should be located south of
Dublin Boulevard and near freeway interchanges where convenient vehicu lar access
will limit traffic impacts to the rest of Dublin and the commercial center is intended to
serve the community as well as the region.
REVIEW BY APPLICABLE DEPARTMENT AND AGENCIES:
The Building Division, Fire Prevention Bureau, Public Works Dep artment, and Dublin
San Ramon Services District reviewed the project and provided Conditions of Approval
where appropriate to ensure that the Project is established in compliance with all local
Ordinances and Regulations. Conditions of Approval from these departments and
agencies have been included in the attached Resolution (Attachment 2).
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
In accordance with the requirements of the CEQA, two Initial Studies/Mitigated Negative
Declarations (MNDs) were previously prepared and adopted to address environmental
concerns associated with development of Grafton Plaza. Based on a review of the
project, no further environmental document is needed because the environmental
impacts of this project were fully addressed in the previous MNDs. There is no
Page 9 of 9
substantial evidence in the record that any new effects would occur to trigger
supplemental environmental review under CEQA Guidelines Section 15162.
PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW:
The Planning Commission considered this project at their meeting on D ecember 10,
2019, and by a vote of four to one recommended that the City Council deny the project.
No members of the community addressed the Commission. The Planning Commission
expressed concern regarding: 1) on-site circulation, including how drop-off/pick-up of
children associated with the proposed daycare facility would function and the previously
established point of access to the site from Dublin Boulevard via Summit Road; 2) traffic
from the project particularly in the morning when parents are droppin g off children at the
daycare facility, combined with residential traffic from Apex; and 3) the previously
approved building locations which lack a building along Dublin Boulevard, and the
orientation of buildings with access from the parking area and turning their backs on
Grafton Street. The Planning Commission Resolutions recommending denial of the
project are included in Attachment 5.
PUBLIC NOTICING:
In accordance with State law, a public notice was mailed to all property owners and
occupants within 300 feet of the project site. A public notice also was published in the
East Bay Times and posted at several locations throughout the City. A Planning
Application sign was posted on the project site and the project was also included on the
City’s development projects webpage. A copy of this Staff Report has been provided to
the Applicant.

The Dublin City Council does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. RECITALS
A. The Applicant, Eddy Li, is proposing to construct three commercial buildings totaling
31,860 square feet on a 3.68-acre site within a portion of the 12.23-acre Grafton Plaza site. The
proposed development and applications are collectively known as the “Project.”
B. The project site is located south of Dublin Boulevard between Summit Road and Grafton
Street within the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area, and more specifically within the Grafton
Plaza Planned Development.
C. On May 18, 2010, the City Council approved a Planned Development Rezone with
related Stage 1 Development Plan for Grafton Plaza which included the subject site (Ordinance
No. 10-10). On April 19, 2016, the City Council approved the Stage 2 Development Plan
(Ordinance No. 05-16). The subject site was identified in the approved Ordinance as
Commercial.
D. On May 18, 2010, the City Council adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) by
City Council Resolution No. 75-10 in connection with approval of the Grafton Plaza Planned
Development Rezone and related Stage 1 Development Plan.
E. In compliance with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the project was
examined to determine if another environmental document should be p repared. The analysis
concluded that the environmental impacts of the Project were analyzed in the previous MND.
There is no substantial evidence in the record that any new effect s would occur, that any new
mitigation measures would be required, or that an y of the conditions triggering supplemental
environmental review under CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 exists.
F. Following a properly noticed public hearing on December 10, 2019, the Planning
Commission adopted Resolution 19-13, recommending denial of the Planned Development
Rezone and related amendments to the previously approved Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development
Plans, which resolution is incorporated herein by reference and available for review at City Hall
during normal business hours.
G. A Staff Report dated January 14, 2020, and incorporated herein by reference, described
and analyzed the Project, including the Planned Development Rezone and related amendments
to the previously approved Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plans, for the City Council.
2
H. On January 14, 2020, the City Council held a properly noticed public hearing on the
project, including the proposed Planned Development Rezone and related amendments to the
previously approved Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plans, at which time all interested
parties had the opportunity to be heard.
SECTION 2. FINDINGS
A. Pursuant to Section 8.32.070 of the Dublin Municipal Code, the City Council finds as follows:
1. The Project PD-Planned Development 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 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 uses in an area that has similar uses nearby
and is also adjacent to existing and future workplaces and residential neighborhoods
promoting pedestrian and circulation linkages from surrounding uses.
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 the Project will be harmonious and
compatible with existing and potential development in the surrounding area in that:
- The Project is planned as an integrated portion of a mixed-use community with
distinct but coordinated commercial, hotel and residential uses, and with
development standards tailored to the specific needs of each use while maintaining
the common areas and interconnections that unite the project elements.
- Unifying landscape and architectural treatments and elements link the commercial,
hotel and residential uses.
- The Project provides interconnected pedestrian and vehicular circulation,
interspersed with public plaza’s and open spaces. This layout, in addition to the
designated land uses and design guidelines, provide places to shop, stroll, and meet
family and friends in a vibrant, comfortable, and contemporary setting.
- Truck traffic patterns are designed to avoid any future residential area(s) and the
conventional retail/commercial streetscape along the Grafton Street extension while
still serving the needs of the retail tenants.
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 improved streets and served by existing
public utilities. The project site conditions were documented in the Mitigated Negative
Declaration (MND) that was previously adopted, 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 MND that will present an impediment to utilization of
the site for the intended purposes. There are no major physical or topographic constraints
3
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 Mixed
Use/Campus Office land use designation for the site.
C. On May 18, 2010, the City Council adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) by City
Council Resolution No. 75-10 in connection with approval of the Grafton Plaza Planned
Development Rezone and related Stage 1 Development Plan. Pursuant to CEQA, the Project
was examined to determine if any further environmental review is required.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Dublin does hereby make
the following findings and determinations regarding the proposed Site Development Review
Permit for the Grafton Plaza Daycare and Retail Project, located at Grafton Plaza:
A. The proposal is consistent with the purposes of Chapter 8.104 of the Zoning Ordinance,
General Plan and any applicable Specific Plans and design guidelines because : 1) the
project is in compliance with General Plan, Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and Stage 1
and Stage 2 Development Plans, except as amended, related to Ordinance No. 10-10
and Ordinance No. 05-16. The project complies with the development standards of the
City Council Ordinance No. 05-16, including setbacks, floor area ratio, height, and
architectural standards, among other development standards. The project provides an
orderly, attractive and harmonious development compatible with the site’s surrounding
properties and neighborhoods. The development gives thought ful consideration to
building location, architecture, design, landscaping theme, access, circulation, parking
and traffic impact; 2) the project is utilizing traditional building forms with contemporary,
high-quality materials and finishes in compliance with the design guidelines of the Stage
2 Development Plan, Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and Community Design and
Sustainability Element of the General Plan; 3) the proposed project will conform to the
design and allowable uses as stated in the Stage 2 Development Plan as required by
Section 8.104.020.B of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance as amended; and 4) the project
includes pedestrian and bicycle pathways providing a connection to adjacent
developments.
B. The proposal is consistent with the provisions of Title 8, Zoning Ordinance because: 1)
the architecture and landscape design for the project provides an appropriate
pedestrian scale with the proposed site planning, building layouts, landscaping and
parking well suited to future uses; 2) the overall design of the project is consistent with
the design requirements of the Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plan; 3) the proposed
project is consistent with the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan in that more intensive us es
are located south of Dublin Boulevard and easily accessible from nearby freeway
interchanges where convenient vehicular access will limit traffic impacts to the rest of
3 of 30
Dublin; 4) the proposed development is compatible with the General Plan land use
designation of Mixed Use/Campus Office with the amendment for daycare use within
the Stage 1 Development Plan as a permitted use; and 5) is compatible with the
surrounding neighborhood that includes residential and commercial uses and the
proposed project meets the intent of the Dublin General Plan which discourages
projects that do not relate well to the surrounding developments.
C. The design of the project is appropriate to the City, the vicinity, surrounding properties,
and the lot(s) in which the project is proposed because: 1) the design of the proposed
buildings and associated improvements provide for a seamless transition with the
existing development and circulation pattern of Grafton Plaza; 2) the size and mass of
the proposed buildings and the overall design are appropriate; and 3) the project will
expand the commercial opportunities in this area.
D. The subject site is suitable for the type and intensity of the approved development
because: 1) the project is within the floor area ratio requirements of the Stage 1
Development Plan; 2) the project provides for its own infrastructure and required
services and is designed to include sufficient vehicular and pedestrian access, with a
reduction of parking for shared parking to support the uses; and 3) the proposed
building sizes and configuration would not exceed allowable building area or create
adverse conditions on-site or for surrounding properties.
E. Impacts to existing slopes and topographic f eatures are addressed because: 1) the
project site is generally flat; 2) the roadway and utility infrastructure to serve the site
already exists; and 3) future approval of grading and improvement plans will enable the
site to be modified to suit the project, with landscaping throughout the project site which
will be developed in accordance with City policies and regulations.
F. Architectural considerations including the character, scale and quality of the design, site
layout, the architectural relationship with the site and other buildings, screening of
unsightly uses, lighting, building materials and colors and similar elements result in a
project that is harmonious with its surroundings and compatible with other
developments in the vicinity because: 1) the architectural style and materials will
enhance and compliment the architectural style, colors, and materials being utilized on
other commercial projects in the direct vicinity; 2) the project is utilizing traditional
building forms with contemporary, high-quality materials and finishes in compliance with
the design guidelines of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan; and 3) the size and scale of
the development will be similar to other buildings in the project vicinity.
G. Landscape considerations, including the location, type, size, color, texture and
coverage of plant materials, and similar elements have been incorporated into the
project to ensure visual relief, adequate screening and an attractive environment for the
public because: 1) the Preliminary Landscape Plan for the project site emphasizes the
pedestrian connections to the east/west and north/south with connections from the
Water Quality Basin to Dublin Boulevard, as well as providing streetscape
enhancements; 2) landscaping will be provided around the perimeter; and 3) the project
perimeter and interior landscaping is consistent with other commercial development in
the vicinity and conforms to the requirements of the City’s Water Efficient Landscape
Ordinance.
4 of 30
H. The site has been adequately designe d to ensure the proper circulation for bicyclist,
pedestrians, and automobiles because: 1) the proposed layout of the parking area has
been reviewed for circulation and safety; and 2) development of this project will
integrate into the existing circulation and development pattern of the larger area.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Dublin hereby makes the
following findings and determinations regarding the Minor Use Permit to allow a parking reduction
for shared parking related to a proposed daycare and retail project, located at Grafton Plaza:
A. The proposed use and related structures are compatible w ith other land uses,
transportation and service facilities in the vicinity in that: 1) the project is located in the PD
zoning district where daycare and retail use is permitted; 2) the proposed use is adjacent
to a variety of other commercial uses; and 3) transportation and services will not be
impacted as evaluated in the Shared Parking Assessment.
B. The proposed use meets the parking requirement for the use type in accordance with the
requirements of Chapter 8.76 (Off-Street Parking and Loading Regulations), which could
include a parking reduction for shared parking, in that: 1) the parking regulations of DMC
Section 8.76.080 require parking of 162 spaces, where 146 spaces are provided; 2) the
Minor Use Permit establishes a parking reduction for shared parking based on the evidence
of the Shared Parking Assessment, which provides mitigation measures sufficient to
accommodate the proposed uses; 3) the site has sufficient space for the peak weekday
and peak weekend demand for tenants with the implementation of a number of mitigation
approaches; and 4) should the future tenants of the proposed spaces generate increased
peak hour parking demand, further measures are proposed for implementation as part of
a Transportation Demand Management strategy that allows operators to adopt measures
to assure parking requirements are sufficient for the commercial center.
C. It 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: 1) the proposed use will
be adequately conditioned to ensure that the operation has no recognizable negative
impact on the other existing uses in the area; 2) sufficient space to accommodate increased
visitors is provided within the existing parking spaces where mitigation measures are
adopted; and 3) the parcel is surrounded by existing residential and hotel uses and is
conforming with the City of Dublin regulations.
D. It will not be injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood in that: 1) the
proposed project will comply with all the City of Dublin regulations; 2) Conditions of
Approval will ensure that the use is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood; and 3)
the proposed uses will be conducted within the proposed buildings on a site that will be
fully developed.
E. There are adequate provisions for public access, water, sanitation, and public utilities and
services to ensure that the proposed use and related structures would not be detrimental
to the public health and safety, and welfare in that: 1) the project site was designed to
accommodate a variety of uses; 2) the site plan provides safe pedestrian and vehicle
access; and 3) the project site is connected to utilities and services.
5 of 30
F. The subject site is physically suitable for the type, density, and intensity of the use and
related structures being proposed in that: 1) the existing roadway network, access and
parking provision is adequate to serve the proposed use; and 2) the proposed use will
occur within the proposed buildings and purpose built external amenity space, on a fully
developed site, without detriment to adjoining tenants.
G. The proposed use will not be contrary to the specific intent clauses, development
regulations, or performance standards established for the zoning district in which it is
located in that: 1) the project is located in the PD zoning district and daycare and retail
uses are permitted; 2) adequate parking to meet the parking demands with the inclusion of
mitigations at the project site is provided; 3) parking regulations require 162 spaces and
there is a deficiency of 16 spaces, which is addressed in the Shared Parking Assessment;
and 4) the proposed number of parking spaces has been evaluated to be sufficient based
on peak hour parking demand and the inclusion of mitigations to apply to the entire center
established through the Shared Parking Assessment and included in the Conditions of
Approval.
H. The proposed use is consistent with the Dublin General Plan and with any applicable
Specific Plans in that: 1) the proposed daycare and retail uses are permitted; and 2) the
proposed project will result in improvements to the site which will provide a service to the
community that is consistent with the intent of the Mixed Use/Campus Office General Plan
land use designation.

TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM
Date: May 3, 2019
To: Obaid Khan, City of Dublin
From: Diwu Zhou and Kari McNickle, Fehr & Peers
Subject: Shared Parking Assessment for Grafton Preschool & Commercial Development
WC19-3583
The memorandum presents the results of a shared parking assessment prepared for the proposed
Grafton Preschool (i.e. daycare) and commercial development, located at the southeast corner of
Dublin Boulevard at Grafton Street. The project proposes to provide 146 surface parking spaces, a
16-space reduction from the City of Dublin municipal code requirement of 162 spaces. The purpose
of this analysis is to evaluate the potential for shared parking between various site uses to determine
if the proposed parking supply would be sufficient to support the proposed land uses.
Results of the assessment indicate that insufficient parking would be provided to meet typical peak
parking demands around the lunch hour and in the evening hours. Potential options to better align
parking demand with the parking supply include changing the mixture of land use types, reducing
the overall level of development, and/or implementing parking demand management strategies.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed project is the development of a commercial center that would include a preschool
building and two retail/restaurant buildings. The site is currently undeveloped and bound by
Grafton Street to the west, A-Loft Hotel to the south, and an approved high-density residential
project to the east. Dublin Boulevard forms the northern boundary of the site.
As currently proposed, an approximately 10,000 square-foot building would be constructed to
house a preschool in addition to outside play areas. The program would support up to 160 children
with 17 program teachers and administrators. Hours of operation for the preschool are 7:00 AM to
Obaid Khan May 3, 2019 Page 2 of 9
6:00 PM, Monday through Friday, with the primary hours for drop-off expected between 7:00 and
8:30 AM, and the expected primary pick-up hours between 4:30 and 6:00 PM.
Two additional commercial buildings are also proposed for the site, totaling approximately 22,000
square feet. Although the final tenants have not yet been identified, it is expected that a general
retail and/or personal service type businesses would encompass 6,193 square feet of retail, with the
remainder of the square footage devoted to restaurants. A mixture of restaurant types could be
provided, including high-turnover sit-down, fast casual or quality restaurants.
CITY OF DUBLIN PARKING REQUIREMENTS
The City of Dublin Municipal Code 8.76.80D outlines the parking requirements for commercial uses
within the City. For the purposes of determining parking requirements, 5,900 square-feet of
restaurant area is assumed to be accessible to customers, and 10,000 square-feet is assumed to not
be accessible to customers. Should outdoor seating in excess of 12 seats be proposed, additional
parking would be required. Based on the outline of use types for this project, the minimum required
parking supply is 162 spaces, as detailed in Table 1, which is 16 spaces more than the proposed
supply. The project proposes to obtain a condition use permit to share half of the retail parking
spaces with the proposed day care. Should a conditional use permit be granted or the development
standards in the Planned Development document amended, the proposed parking would meet
City requirements. A factor in this decision is the ability of the proposed parking study to
accommodate peak parking demand

Source: City of Dublin Municipal Code; Fehr & Peers, 2019.
The City of Dublin municipal code references the California Green Building Standards (CGBS) Code
for accessible (ADA), Electric Vehicle (EV) and Clean Air Vehicle parking requirements:
• California Building Code Table 11B-208.2 requires that 6 ADA accessible spaces be
provided for projects with 151-200 parking spaces, one of which must be van parking
space. Projects with 101-150 parking spaces are required to provide 5 ADA accessible
spaces, one of which must be van parking space. Based on the proposed parking supply
of 146 spaces, the project would meet these requirements.
• California Green Building Standards Code Table 5.106.5.3.3 outlines the requirements for
EV charging spaces and requires 10 EV charging spaces be provided for projects with 151-
200 parking spaces. Projects with 101-150 parking spaces are required to provide 7 EV
charging spaces. Based on the proposed parking supply of 146 spaces, the project would
meet these requirements.
• California Green Building Standards Code Table 5.106.5.2 notes that 16 parking spaces shall
be designated for clean air vehicle parking in projects with 151-200 parking spaces. Projects
with 101-150 parking spaces are required to provide 11 clean air vehicle spaces. Based on
the proposed parking supply of 146 spaces, the project would meet these requirements.

PARKING DEMAND
A parking demand assessment was conducted for a typical weekday (Monday through Thursday),
Friday, and Saturday to determine if the proposed shared parking is reasonable based on City Code
and if the proposed project would provide sufficient parking to meet peak demand. This demand
assessment considers the potential for parking to be shared between the various site uses, as
different uses have different peak parking demands and parking can be shared between uses. The
Institute of Transportation Engineers’ Parking Generation Manual, 5th Edition provides time-of-day
distribution for parking demand for each of the potential land-uses, as presented in Table 2.
The time-of-day distributions were applied to the City Code requirements with the results
presented in Table 3. Based on the land-use composition of the proposed project, and City Code
requirements adjusted based on potential parking demand accumulations, the parking requirement
could be up to 37 spaces less than the City Code requirement. However, the City Code requirements
may not adequately reflect the expected parking demand for the project, especially when time of
day factors are applied.
The peak parking demand was estimated using the Parking Generation Manual, 5th Edition, which
provides parking demand data collected at similar land-uses surveyed across the United States. The
hourly parking demand based on observed demand at similar land-uses are presented in Table 4.
The parking demand rates presented in Table 4 are reflective of average observed parking demand
at similar uses to those proposed as part of the project.
• The day care would be operational Monday through Friday. Parking demand typically peaks
in the morning during drop-off and in the afternoon and evening during pick-up hours,
with peak levels of activity largely based on the operating characteristics of the facility.
• Retail parking demand was estimated using data for General Shopping Center (Land Use
820). Retail parking demand typically peaks in the afternoon, with demand tapering in the
evening but remaining high overall.
• Restaurant parking demand was calculated assuming a variety of restaurant types would
be provided, including one Quality Restaurants (Land Use 931) occupying up to 6,000
square-feet, and the remaining restaurant space occupied by a High-Turnover Sit-Down
Restaurants (Land Use 932). It was assumed that both restaurant types would be open for
lunch and dinner service only.

The estimated peak parking demand for the proposed project uses, based on observed peak
parking demand at similar land-uses, is 206 vehicles. This level of demand could occur in the
evening on a Friday between 7:00 and 8:00 PM. Parking demand is also expected to exceed the
available supply during weekday evenings and during the lunch period on Friday and Saturdays.
The estimated peak parking demand exceeds both the proposal by the applicant (146 spaces) and
the Dublin Municipal Code requirements (162 spaces).
Additionally, the parking assessment does not consider circulation efficiency factors. When only a
few spaces are remaining in a parking lot, it can be difficult for patrons to find a remaining vehicle
space, which can result in the perception that a parking lot is full, even if there are a few open
spaces. For commercial projects, a circulation efficiency factor of 10 to 15 percent is usually applied,
meaning that at this site, the parking lot will be perceived as full when parking demand is between
124 and 131 spaces. When the circulation efficiency factor is considered, the parking lot would
operate at functional capacity during most weekdays around the lunch hour.
The estimated peak parking demand does not assume any reductions to account for internalized
trips (i.e. a person parks once and visits multiple destinations within the project site) as future
tenants of the remaining commercial space is unknown. Depending on the final tenant
composition, the actual parking demand could increase or decrease. For example, high-turn over
sit-down restaurants that provide breakfast service (even if they are open for dinner) tend to have
lower parking demand in the evening as compared to high-turn over sit-down restaurants that only
serve lunch and dinner. Additionally, it should also be noted that parking demand for retail
destinations during the month of December could be higher.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the proposed land-use composition, the proposed parking supply of 146 spaces may not
be adequate to meet the estimated weekday peak parking demand, even considering shared
parking. Reducing the overall development size or reducing the square footage allocated to
restaurant space could result in parking demand more in-line with the proposed supply.
In addition to changes in overall project size and land use mix, the implementation of Parking
Demand Management (PDM) strategies may also off-set peak hour parking demand. Examples of
PDM strategies that could be implemented include:
• Reconfigure the site plan to include a drop-off/pick-up area for the day care with curbside
unloading/loading provided during periods of peak demand. This could reduce the
Obaid Khan May 2, 2019 Page 9 of 9
amount of time required for individual drop-off/pick-up procedures, reducing the overall
parking demand.
• Implement time restricted (5 minutes) parking spaces in front of the day care during the
morning and evening drop-off and pick-up periods. This would encourage turnover of
these spaces during peak time periods to reduce overall parking demand.
• Restrict the maximum square-footage associated with a quality restaurant to 6,000 square-
feet, and provide a mix of other restaurant types to balance parking demands, such as
including a restaurant that focuses on breakfast service that may have high levels of activity
in the morning, but lower levels of activity around lunch and dinner hours.
• For quick-service restaurants, or those with significant take-out patronage, designate time
restricted spaces in front of those establishments to encourage parking turn-over.
• Designate employee parking locations in more remote areas of the site to keep prime
parking spaces open for business patrons; if needed, consider leasing parking from
adjacent developments that may have excess parking on a typical weekday for employee
parking.
• Provide transit subsidies for employees to encourage rail/bus transit and shared rail-hailing
services such as Uber-Pool and Lyft-Line.
• Implement valet parking for the restaurant uses on Fridays and weekends, and potentially
during weekday lunch periods as dictated by demand.
• Monitor parking demand as the site uses are developed and occupied and implement
additional strategies as necessary to manage the overall parking supply.
These strategies should be examined for appropriateness and their potential to reduce parking
demand as specific tenants are identified for the remainder of the project site, as specific restaurant
types could have lower or higher parking demand rates on a typical weekday than assumed in this
assessment.
This concludes the shared-parking analysis for the proposed Grafton Preschool and commercial
development. If you have any questions, please contact Diwu Zhou at (925) 930-7100 if you have
