PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY
Due to the general nature of the Stage I Planned Development
Plan, various issues will need to be studied and resolved when more
detailed information and design proposals are submitted for subse-
quent stages. The following is an initial accounting and description
to begin identifying these outstanding issues.
Fallon Village Center
• Intersection geometries between Central Parkway and Croak
Road are subject to further review to determine interim and final
intersection design.
• In tangent with the Central Parkway/Croak Road intersection,
the layout of the Village Center will need to be reorganized or
redesigned to reflect changed street alignments.
• A fiscal study may be required by the City to determine specific
project viability of the Village Center.
• The alignment of Central Parkway is unknown until additional
evaluation is performed from an engineering and biological out-
look. This may affect the design of Upper Loop Road and other
streets and intersections.
Parks and Schools
• While the City and School District dictate the design and orienta-
tion of parks and schools, these entities should tie into the over-
all Fallon Village design vocabulary and replicate the community
theme elements, especially at entries and along street frontages.
Interconnections Between Projects
• It is recognized that property owners/applicants will need to
cooperate in certain instances to create a better overall project.
This includes: encouraging street connections between different
properties; providing grading easements on their property to ad-
jacent developers/builders to allow sensitive and logical grading
conditions between different properties.
Bus Stops
• Applicants shall work with the local bus agency to identify and
provide adequate bus stop/shelter facilities.
VISION
Fallon Village is located on approximately 1,110 acres in the east-
ernmost portion of Dublin. The project area encompasses multiple
properties under separate ownership. The Fallon Village Guidelines
illustrate an over-riding vision intended to create a cohesive com-
munity. These Guidelines establish the general overall theme for the
larger community while allowing for interpretation of the individual
elements. The detailed guidelines required for subsequent projects
within the community should reflect the established theme.
The Fallon Village is comprised of the vital mixture of uses essential
fora `complete' community. This includes regional commercial and
office uses, local-serving neighborhood retail, a range of residential
densities, and an extensive park and trail system edged by rural resi-
dential and open space areas.
The Fallon Village community is a discrete visual place. It is en-
closed by open space ridgelines to the north and east. The exist-
ing Dublin Ranch development and Interstate 580 form the other
boundaries. The most visible part of the community is the commer-
cial component, adjoining the 580-freeway corridor. This shopping
and office area sets the visual tone for the Dublin community at its
eastern gateway. Consequently, generous setbacks and special plant-
ing are used to allow a view of the architecture and the knells while
creating a distinctive image for Dublin.
,~
h,
The Village Center is the visual and dynamic center of the resi-
dential community. The Center is bordered by the higher- density
residential areas and the community park. It provides opportuni-
ties for shopping, day-care, recreation, places to eat, and places for
ceremony and ritual, al] within close walking distance of the highest
density homes. Connectivity between the school, parks, open space
and Village Center is achieved through an extensive system of side-
walks and trails.
The residential portion of the community rests behind a series of
knolls that sit to the north of the regional commercial area. The
primary entry to the Fallon Village residential areas from the bal-
ance of the Dublin community is from Fallon Road and the exten-
sion of Central Parkway as it sweeps along the northern edge of the
knolls. An organizing circulation spine comprised of Upper Loop
Road, Croak Road, and Central Parkway connects the Village Center,
schools, and parks to the clusters of homes. This road is a visual and
physical spine, linking the neighborhoods. The open space corridor
crosses the spine at two points. The open space crossings are distinc-
tive events along the road. The spine is the governing element of
the residential circulation hierarchy as indicated by a central median,
a wide right-of-way, densely planted street trees, theme lighting and
thematic elements. All neighborhoods have a discrete entry off the
circulation spine and a unique visual character. Acommunity-wide
system of multi-use trails and sidewalks link the neighborhoods to
the schools, parks and the Village Center.

4 FALL..ON VILLAGE DESIGN GUIDELINES
CENTRAL DESIGN CONCEPTS
The development of a new community provides the unique op-
portunity to create a special, memorable place. To this end Fallon
Village is founded around seven Central Design Concepts.
• Develop Strong Community Identity: Establish a unique identity
which distinguishes "Fallon Village" from adjacent development.
Utilize thematic architectural elements with a consistent, distinc-
tive, landscape palette and architectural guidelines to create a spe-
cial place reminiscent of agrarian communities in the southern
Mediterranean.
• Create A Community Which Celebrates the Environmental Set-
ting -The rolling hills and the riparian corridors all are an integral
part of the community structure and character of the place. Fal-
lon Villages is a series of neighborhoods enclosed by open space
hills linked by the riparian corridor.
• Create a "Livable" Community - A place where a pedestrian
friendly streetscape system promotes neighborhood cohesive-
ness. An extensive pedestrian network linking the residential ar-
eas with parks, schools, and the Village Center.
• Create a Social Village Center: the heart of the residential com-
munity is a place to stop and eat, to socialize, and have ceremoni-
al community level activities; a place where recreation, shopping,
and other daily activities are easily accommodated.
• Create a Community that Incorporates "Concepts of Sustainabil-
ity": The Fallon Village vision embraces the concept of sustain-
ability, including denser housing opportunities in village center
core, use of recycled water for irrigation, and other innovative
concepts.
• Create a diversity of housing opportunities: the plan provides for
the varying of lot sizes and housing product types including the
traditional size family home, rural residential and denser multi-
family residential clustered around village center.
• Create a Community that is Perceived as a Cohesive Whole De-
spite Multiple Ownership: Strong guidelines insure a consistent
level of quality throughout the community at all phases of devel-
opment. A clear hierarchy of roadways and sensitive interface
between parcels will create a seamless transition.

• Develop a comprehensive integrated park and recreation open
space system;
• Provide a circulation system that is convenient and encourages
alternate modes of transportation while maintaining a neighbor-
hood scale street system;
• Maximize opportunities for travel by transit;
• Provide a safe and convenient pedestrian and bicycle circulation
system;
• Maintain and enhance the natural resources;
• Preserve Historic and cultural resources;
• Establish a visually distinctive community;

A CENTER AS THE COMMUNITY HUB
The traditional small downtown with its shaded village green sur-
rounded by pedestrian oriented commercial and residential uses is
the model for Fallon Village Center. The Village Center is envi-
sioned as social gathering and convenience shopping hub to the
residential neighborhood in the surrounding hills.
To enhance the viability of the retail uses the Village Center is
proposed to be located at the intersection of Central Parkway and
Croak Road. The Village Center area is comprised of a vital mix of
land uses including Mixed-Use, Medium and Medium High Density
Residential, a Neighborhood Square, Semi-Public, and Community
Park. The village center would be conveniently accessible by auto-
mobile, due to its location near the intersection of Central Parkway
and Croak Road and by pedestrian traffic from a community trail
system.
PLANNING CONTEXT
The design of the Fallon Village Center will be guided by the City
of Dublin Village Center Policy, therein, a village is defined as a
physical development of land that has been designed to encour-
age compact development of an area which integrates a variety of
housing types and densities with community facilities, civic and
educational uses. An emphasis on pedestrian friendly design is
required.
i^~,,
~'l+tr~i
CITY OF DUBLIN VILLAGE CENTER POLICY
The Village Center will be the core of the Fallon Village community
providing a mix of uses to establish a social and commercial center
for the project. The following program is planned for the Village
Center.
• Medium Density Residential
• Medium High Density Residential
• Community Park
• Mixed-Use
• Neighborhood Square
• Open Space
The City of Dublin's Village Policy Statement identifies the follow-
ing as characteristics that should be included in all identified vil-
lage centers within the City. This policy can be used to refine and
enhance special areas within the City of Dublin.
• A Village location should be compatible with the local environ-
mentincluding surrounding land usage and topography. It should
respect constrains, roadways and environmental consideration;
• A Village should have a mixture of housing types, densities,
and affordability and should support a range of age and income
groups;
• Activity nodes (commercial areas, community facilities and pub-
lic/private facilities) should be easily accessible;
• Trails, pedestrian walkways and street linkages should be estab-
lished to bring the parts and elements of the Village together;
• Street and Pedestrian linkages should link to transportation
spines including busses and transit services.
• The Village should have a strong "edge" defining the boundar-
ies. This could include major streets, architectural or landscape
areas.
• Village size should reflect development that promotes pedestrian
walkability, permits a sufficient mixture of residential and pub-
lic/private uses and convenient commercial areas.
• Specific identity should be fostered for the Village areas (special
signage, unique design elements, public plazas, etc.)
FALCON VILLAGE CENTER BASIC DESIGN PRINCIPLES
• Create a vital and social mixed-use Village Center that provides for
the needs of Fallon Village residents.
• Emphasize inviting, small-town, pedestrian friendly ambiance yet re-
main consistent with the community's agrarian theme.
• Emphasize variety and diversity in architectural design.
• Front buildings onto the neighborhood square and central parkway
• Provide strong pedestrian links to adjacent residential development,
community park and open space.
• Emphasize design of residential scale ground floor facades along
retail edges.
• Tuck on-site parking behind buildings.
• Widen sidewalks in front of retail uses to provided outdoor display
and dining.
• Underground all utilities to the extent practical, or place behind
buildings or in other non-visible locations.

SITE PLANNING
• The design of the Village Center shall promote pedestrian activity
through the use of wide sidewalks, plazas, a neighborhood square or
other gathering area, and human scaled architecture.
• The neighborhood square shall front directly onto Central Parkway.
• Buildings shall be placed so as to establish a strong edge along Central
Parkway and the neighborhood square.
• Retail continuity shall be maintained along pedestrian-oriented front-
ages; the pedestrian shopping experience shall not be interrupted by
parking lots or blank walls.
• Placement of parking and trash areas shall be sensitive to any adjacent
residential units. Trash facilities shall be enclosed within structures,
(such as walls, fences, and trellises) that blend with the architectural
styles, materials, and colors of the adjacent buildings.
ARCHITECTURAL
• Buildings shall orient toward neighborhood square and Central
Parkway
• Buildings along Central Parkway and Neighborhood square should
be built to and parallel with the front setback line providing subtle
12" offsets at least every 75 feet, and as permitted by allowance
encroachments, such as outdoor dining areas and entry plazas.
• Along Central Parkway, provide special detailing such as: unique
door and window treatments that differentiate for individual
shops for retail uses
• Enhance retail frontage along Central Parkway and the neighbor-
hood square with awnings of various sizes, shapes and colors; and
store signage and displays.
• Encourage residential uses along Central Parkway to front on to
the street.
• For retail uses avoid one-sided architecture. The side rear facades in
the Village Center commercial area will be actively used therefore they
should have an appearance similar to a "front" in regard to doors,
windows, etc. Although the architecture treatment may be simplified
and vary according to function, these elevations should remain con-
sistent through style, use of materials, colors and details.
NEIGHBORHOOD SQUARE
• The neighborhood square is the focus of the village center. This cen-
tral green should be designed as social gathering places for the com-
munity. Allowable uses should include spaces to accommodate ele-
ments such as fountains, outdoor dining, specimen trees, public art
and special public events.
• Provide convenient pedestrian links to retail uses and adjacent residen-
tial development.
CIRCULATION AND PARKING
• On-site parking shall be located behind buildings to the extent pos-
sible.
• Pedestrian connections from the rear parking area to the storefront
edge and to public streets shall be integrated into the site design and
be clearly marked. These connections shall be emphasized with land-
scaping, circulation design, and siting of buildings.
• Where parking lots are not separated from roadways, architectural ele-
ments (such as trellises, fences, and other landscaping) shall be used
to screen the view of parking lots from the street.
• Parking lot design shall address best management practices for storm
water management.
• Parking areas shall he landscaped and shaded with canopy trees. Trees
shall be planted within parking lots at a ratio of one tree for every six
(6) parking stalls. Trees may be clustered in concentrated planting
areas to break up large parking lot surfaces.
• Pedestrian emphasis in the street designs with convenient crossing
points at parking and street intersections.
• Parallel on-street parking shall be provided along Central Parkway and
diagonal parking around neighborhood square to provide both con-
venience and a "Main Street" ambiance.
• In front of residential uses, the 8' wide sidewalk will be separated
from the street by an 8' wide landscaped parkway. Adjacent residential
uses should be directly accessed from this sidewalk.
• The sidewalk in front of the retail uses shall be expanded to 16' width
with 5x5 tree cut outs along the curbs for street trees. The retail uses
shall be pulled forward to enhance the street edge width sidewalk shall
accommodate window shopping, outdoor merchants and cafes.

The Fallon Village Plan envisions the creation of a series of charm-
ing, distinct, pedestrian-oriented neighborhoods, nestled into the
surrounding topography and linked to the Village Center via the
community loop road and the trail system along the open space cor-
ridor. The guidelines described on the following pages are intended
to achieve this goal.
Fallon Village residential neighborhoods may include single-family
homes, cluster homes, townhouses, senior housing, live/work units,
and apartments above ground-floor shops. Regardless of the lot size
or neighborhood density, the homes and their accompanying private
spaces shall be designed to contribute to the overall quality of life
for residents.
BASIC DESIGN PRINCIPLES
• A hierarchy of streets that logically steps down in size from collectors
to cul-de-sacs shall be utilized. Street widths shall reinforce the neigh-
borhood roadway hierarchy with important streets being more wide
and minor streets being more narrow
• Well defined entries and edges shall create distinct residential neigh-
borhoods and emphasize connection with the loop road.
• Safe, pleasant, pedestrian links to the Village Center, parks, schools,
and open space shall be provided.
• Where applicable, dwelling units and entries shall face onto public
amenities, such as neighborhood parks and the open space corridor.

NEIGHBORHOOD LAYOUT
• Provide a visual and physical connection to the open space by utilizing
single-loaded streets with open space corridor on one side and houses
on the other. Open ended cul-de-sacs along the open space corridor
may be considered on a case-by-case basis.
• Where cul-de-sacs are used, provide walk-throughs from the end of
cul-de-sacs to allow pedestrian access to adjacent open space
• Where necessary traffic calming measures such as shortened street
lengths, narrower curb-to-curb dimensions, and traffic roundabouts
should be incorporated as feasible on major residential collectors.
• Provide a buffer, such as a street or masonry wall, between residential
uses and school or park.
• Homes are encouraged to front on street facing a park.
• Avoid homes fronting on collector streets
• Provisions shall be made for future local street connections between
development areas and property ownerships.
OPEN SPACE INTERFACE
Open space edges should function to reduce fire hazards and allow
visual access to open space.
• A minimum 45-foot wide fuel break band shall be established in
the transition zones between residential neighborhoods and open
space. Within this fuel break, fire retardant and low fuel plant
materials shall be planted. Annual grasses shall be mowed, and
dead leaves and wood shall be cleared out at least once a year.
• Special Consideration will be given to architectural design adjacent
to open space in accordance with the City of Dublin Wildfire
Management Plan.
• Utilize welded wire fencing or view fence where home borders on
open space.
• Encouraging residents to regard open space as an integral part of
their environment.

INTERFACE BETWEEN PROPERTIES
Although the Fallon Village site is comprised of many separate prop-
erties controlled by a variety of owners, the Fallon Village commu-
nity is planned as a cohesive whole. The incremental development
of separate parcels shall be knit together into a seamless community.
Streets shall create an interconnected circulation system to this end.
• Street trees, (and other plantings), walls, fences, street furniture,
and other elements that make up the character of a community
shall be consistent along the entire length of a street, regardless
of the number of properties the street crosses.
• Continuous and convenient pedestrian access shall be provided
for residents by multi-use trails, bike lanes and walks that con-
necting each neighborhood to the Village Center, schools, parks
and open space corridor.
• Streets shall be designed to link neighborhoods to create an inter-
connected circulation system.
GRADING STANDARDS
Grades and elevations between neighborhoods shall be designed to
provide a visually appropriate interface. Grades between different
properties shall provide a smooth transition with natural looking
contours. This can be implemented by utilizing the following strate-
gies:
• Provide a grading easement for later phases of development on
adjacent properties to ensure natural appearing grades between
parcels developed early or later on.
• In lieu of slope benches and storm runoff ditches, recreated hill-
sides and terraces shall be designed to blend with the surrounding
hillsides and knolls.
• Transition grading to adjacent uphill Open Space or Rural Resi-
dential/Agriculture shall provide for a maintenance accessway
and drainage collection along the toe.
• Grading within the Open Space corridor shall be permitted in
compliance with the Resource Management Plan (RMP). Grading
along the open space corridor is allowed to the extent that the
minimum and average widths of preservation required under the
RMP are met. In general, no grading should take place within 5U'
of the water course. Exceptions to this standard are noted in the
RMP.
• Lots and streets shall step up the grade together. Lot to lot slopes
shall not exceed 2:1. Transition slopes to open space or open space
corridor shall not exceed 3:1 slope. However, slopes of 2:1 are
permitted on a case by case basis.
• All slope banks shall be 3:1, except as needed for remedial grading
of hillside slopes at which time slope banks may be 2:1 or 2.5:1 on
a case-by-case basis.
• Use of retaining walls should be minimized on street frontages
or rear-yard slopes visible to the general public. Where retaining
walls are required they should not exceed 4 feet in height.
• Property lines shall be offset a minimum of one foot from the top
of all slopes.
• To ensure adequate maintenance of large slopes (3:1 or steeper in
excess of 35 feet vertical), the property line should stop at the toe
of the slope. The remainder of slope shall be held as common
open space maintained by the HOA, CHAD, or land trust.
• Daylight grading above the 770 development elevation cap shall be
permitted if grading is designed to ensure natural appearing forms
and to conform with the adjacent hillsides. The maximum slope
for such daylight grading shall be 3:1, with limited 2:1 and 2.5:1
slopes permitted on a case by case basis. Grading above the 770'
contour shall be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to determine
impacts to "visually sensitive areas." In no case shall the grading
be permitted to extend within 50' horizontally of the ridgeline that
establishes the skyline.
• Grading should generally not be visible above the house roofline
from the public street immediately in front of the house, except
for remedial grading, slide repair, key way construction, trail de-
velopment, and uses as permitted by open space and rural residen-
tial/agricultural zoning.
FENCING
Fencing types should be consistent throughout all the residential areas
within Fallon Village. Several types of fencing are to be used for resi-
~~;:- dential properties:

VIEW FENCE • Wood fences adjacent to residential streets should be located a mini-
mum of 5' from the back of sidewalk. In cases where the adjacent
lot is downslope from the sidewalk, the fence may be located 3' from
the back of sidewalk. Taller shrubs should be planted to screen the

a large side yard to provide more private space for the homeowner.
OPEN SPACE INTERFACE FENCE Special care shall be taken on corner houses to insure that the charac-
ter of front facing architecture wraps around side elements.
• Where lots abut open space, two fencing options conform with the
Dublin Wildfire Management Plan. The first option is to locate a 24"
masonry pilaster next to the house with an open space interface fence
along the rear property line and wood fencing on side property lines.
The second option is to place a tubular steel fence along the rear
property line with a 10' return on the side property lines.

RETAINING WALLS
Retaining walls are used to accommodate grade changes where neces-
sary. The style and finish of retaining walls on residential lots will vary
according to their location. Refer to the Landscape Elements section of
the Design Guidelines for appropriate materials and finishes. General
guidelines for retaining walls are as follows:
• Walls visible from the public right-of-way shall be consistent with the
community design standard for retaining walls and reflect the Medi-
terranean Agrarian theme.
• Retaining walls shall be a maximum of four feet tall. Greater vertical
distances may be accommodated at the time of SDR or finished grad-
ing plan submittal on a case-by-case basis.
• Stepped walls shall be separated a minimum of 2' to provide for land-
scaping. Stepped walls may be designed with maximum 2:1 slopes
between walls.
• In areas where retaining walls are visible from adjacent Public R.O.W.,
to provide a minimum of 2' of landscape between fence and retaining
wall.
• Backyard fences shall be offset from the wall a minimum of two feet.
Provisions shall be made for access to the rear yard landscape slope.
• Frontyard retaining walls shall be located at or behind the public
service easement at a minimum of 5' from the back of sidewalk.
Utilities should be grouped and combined with front retaining walls
where required to avoid multiple retaining walls on a single lot.
• Side yard retaining walls that are 2' or lower may be located on the
property line with a 6' wood fence above. In locations where the
side yard retaining wall is between 2' and 4', the retaining wall must
be located a minimum of 3' from the property line to allow fora 2:1
slope on the lower lot. In this condition, the lower lot shall be wider
to accommodate the change in elevation.
• Retaining walls shall be designed to allow easy access by the hom-
eowner. Steps shall be required to access the slope if the distance
between the retaining wall and property line is greater than 5'.
• In situations where double retaining walls are required, the maximum
height of each wall shall be 2'.

MULTI-FAMILY DESIGN GUIDELINES
In higher-density situations such as cluster homes, townhouses, senior
housing, and apartments, careful consideration should be given to those
facilities that are shared by all residents, including common outdoor
spaces, parking areas, and attached buildings.
• Create an attractive, pedestrian friendly internal streetscape.
• Encourage a variety of housing densities and housing types to provide
a full complement of housing opportunities.
• Use street trees, planting, and varying front and side yard setbacks to
create visual interest on internal medium density streetscapes.
• Street furniture in common landscape area shall be of a consistent
style, color, and material to unify the neighborhood.
• Provide parking in small parking areas or "streets" adjacent to units;
avoid large undifferentiated parking lots. Landscape parking areas to

These areas contribute significantly to the agrarian ambiance of the
Fallon Village community.
• Open space lands shall be protected from undue impacts of devel-
opment and public access.
• Wherever possible, open space areas shall be made an integral
part of the overall community through providing physical and/or
visual access to the open space.
• Landscaping patterns should resemble the natural setting. Use of
native plant communities shall be encouraged to provide wildlife
habitat and contextual imagery.
• Structures located in rural residential areas shall be sited and de-
signed to minimize visual impact. Structures are not permitted to
"daylight" on the main ridgeline.
• Rural residential and open space areas shall be developed and
managed in a manner appropriate for the control of erosion, the
prevention of overgrazing, and the prevention of the invasion of
noxious weeds.
• Within the rural residential/agricultural area and open space ar-
eas, designated preserves shall be fenced and posted to control
pedestrian and domestic animal access to special habitat areas, as
identified in the Resource Management Plan.

The 580 corridor edge sets a visual tone for the City of Dublin. As a part
of Eastern Dublin, the character of the regional commercial develop-
ment is especially critical.
BASIC PRINCIPLES
• Create harmonious composition of buildings that are appropri-
ately scaled to their surroundings. Special consideration shall be
given to any portion of the building visible from adjacent streets
or 580-corridor.
• Create a logical hierarchy of auto and pedestrian movement.
Provide convenient pedestrian connections to public transit
where possible.
• Provide landmark buildings or public plazas on corners at major
intersections.
• Minimize the visual impact of parking areas.
• Visually break large structures into pedestrian scale.
• Create pleasant outdoor spaces, which compliment retail uses.
• Locate service area away from pedestrian use areas and views from
roadway.
• Design landscaping along the 580 edge to screen views of parking
while retaining views of architectural knolls beyond.
• Provide central focus for large shopping centers.

PARKING
• Highlight entries into parking areas with architectural monuments and
special landscaping.
• Screen views of parking from streets by low berms, architectural fea-
tures such as low walls or arbors, or plantings.
• Sub-divide large parking areas into a series of smaller parking lots
with landscaping.
• Provide opportunities to reduce or detain stormwater runoff by using
vegetated swales between parking aisles and at the perimeter of the
parking areas. Use of pervious parking lot materials shall be encour-
aged.
PEDESTRIAN SPACES
• Develop outdoor plazas in close relationship to buildings. Use a
variety of site elements to add visual richness and provide shel-
ter.
• Create strong pedestrian links (arcades, paseos, a series of plazas)
between various buildings within the retail complex and to the
community-wide circulation system.
• Provide convenient bicycle parking areas and/or racks near build-
ing entries.
• Enhance ambiance and vitality with banners, fountains, site furni-
ture, lighting, special paving and planting.
SERVICE AND STORAGE AREAS
• Enclose storage areas within structures, (such as walls, fences and
trellises), that blend with the architectural styles, materials and
colors of the adjacent buildings.
• Screen views of storage areas, loading docks, and major utility
equipment boxes from 580, Fallon Road, Dublin Boulevard, or
areas with high pedestrian traffic.
LANDSCAPING
• Use landscaping to create outdoor rooms, to screen unsightly ar-
eas, to reinforce circulation patterns, to shade parking areas, and
to enhance the human scale and the visual attractiveness of the
area.
• Areas shall be landscaped with trees. Provide trees in parking area
so that 40% of the paving is shaded. Provide average 1 tree/6 car
stalls. Trees may be clustered to frame site lines or to reinforce a
circulation palette.
~,
4:I
(t~fI~US-1~R1A[
BAS[C PRINCIPLES
• Warehouse buildings shall be designed and oriented to locate the
shorter width of the building toward the public right-of--way.
• Self-storage facilities in industrial areas shall be designed so buildings
are located around the perimeter of the site providing courtyards in
the center.
• Whenever adjacent to residential uses, floors above the first level shall
be designed to stair step for light and air, and windows located to
provide privacy for the residences.
• In multi-building complexes, noise, illumination, smoke, dust and
odor generating functions, as well as service and loading areas, shall
be combined or located next to each other to minimize impacts on
the surrounding uses. Loading docks may be located within buildings
to lessen such impacts.
SERVICE AND STORAGE AREAS
• Screening for outdoor storage, including vehicles, should be de-
termined by the height of the material being screened, but be no
less than 6 feet tall and include a combination of landscaping and
solid walls. Chain link fencing with appropriate slatting is an ac-
ceptable screening material from the street, I-580 or residential
uses. Exterior storage should be confined to portions of the site
least visible to public view, particularly Dublin Boulevard, project
entries, I-580, and adjacent residential uses.
• All services areas such as loading, trash enclosures, outside stor-
age, and ground and roof equipment shall be located away from,
or at a minimum, screened from residential uses and public rights-
of-way. Where possible, loading areas should be located on the
side of the building opposite of a residential use. If it is not
possible, due to an elevation difference between the uses or other
overriding site layout concerns, such facilities should be screened
to the greatest extent practical.
• Screening is defined as providing an opaque visual barrier com-
prised of architectural and/or landscape elements.
LANDSCAPING
• Landscape shall be provided between parking lots and public
streets for all uses. Landscape areas shall be provided between
parking areas and buildings in office developments. Landscape
areas between parking areas and buildings are encouraged in ser-
vice commercial, and retail development and required in industrial
developments. Water quality features and storm drain retention
features may be located within required landscape and landscape
buffers as long as the final product gives the appearance of a
landscaped feature.

DESIGN CONCEPT
The organizing framework of the community is derived from the pattern
of roads, the open space system, and the clustering of land uses. The
regional-serving commercial areas are, to a large extent, separated from
the residential by the knolls which parallel Dublin Boulevard. These
knolls create a natural `gateway' for Fallon Village. The higher density
residential zones and Village Center are centralized. The central circula-
tion spine unifies the outer ring of residential neighborhoods. The open
space corridor provides a natural corridor with a centralized pedestrian/
bicycle system linking neighborhoods and the village core. This legible
community structure allows each neighborhood to have a unique ambi-
ance while remaining part of the overall Fallon Village Community.

CIRCULATION CONCEPT
Much of peoples perception of their environment is based upon the
view from the road. Thus the streetscape character sets the pattern for
the community.
The Fallon Village streetscape system includes:
1. Commercial and residential community entries,
2. Regional gateways,
3. Neighborhood entries, and
4. The streetscape treatment along individual roads.
Hierarchical streetscape design contributes to the overall unity and leg-
ibility of the community. The open space crossings, intersections and
rotary provide special opportunities to celebrate the natural features of
the setting and utilize thematic elements to emphasize overall commu-
nity character.

From the freeway, Fallon Road is the first impression, not only of Fallon
Village, but also of the City of Dublin. The treatment of streetscapes in
this area should be consistent with City of Dublin's Streetscape Master
Plan for gateways. This regional gateway should include enhanced land-
scaping, a "City of Dublin" monument sign, widened medians, and
special median architectural enhancements, and possible installation of
public art. Buildings should be oriented to the street edge and intersec-
tion to highlight the gateway.

The community gateways are located along Fallon Road and Central
Parkway. They demark the transition between the regional commer-
cial areas and the residential community. At these locations roadway
cuts between the knolls create natural gateways where the open space
areas frame the roadway on each side. Terraced low stone walls and co-
lumnar windrows edge the roadway, introducing the agrarian theme of
the Fallon Village Community. Columnar flowering trees in the median
along with thematic entry monuments will be used to further highlight
the gateway. The landscape treatment will transition to streetscape and
open space plantings past the gateway area.

There are two primary intersections in the commercial area as Dublin
Road intersects with both Fallon Road and Central Parkway. In these
locations, the intersection should be highlighted with enhanced paving,
flowering trees in the median, and thematic elements. Adjacent commer-
cial development should be oriented to create an attractive front door at
the corner with plaza areas and enhanced architectural treatments. The
terminus of Central Parkway should be a focal area with thematic monu-
ments, stone walls, and enhanced landscaping.

Primary neighborhood entries are located along Upper Loop Road and
Croak Road. Secondary neighborhood entries may be used to highlight
additional entries from the community roadway system. Entries should
be designed to create distinct outdoor rooms that define the neighbor-
hood character. Each entry should establish the identity for the indi-
vidual neighborhood while remaining consistent with the Mediterranean
Agrarian theme. Neighborhood entries should include:
• Thematic community elements such as special paving, thematic entry
portals, stone or stucco walls, community theme walls or ornamental
fencing.

STREETSCAPE STANDARDS
Collector Roads (Central Parkway, Upper Loop Road and Croak Road) shall
have an 8' multi-use trail, an 8' parkway, shoulders, and medians. Medians
shall be a minimum of 16' in width.
Minor Residential Collector (residential entry roads) shall have a 6' or 8' sepa-
rated sidewalk, an 8' parkway, and an optional 8' median.
Residential streets shall have a 5' separated sidewalk and an 5' parkway.
Rural Residential Street with monolithic sidewalk may be used where streets
end at the open space interface cul-de-sacs. A minimum 5' monolithic side-
walk shall be provided. A 7' landscape easement within property line for
planting and maintenance of street trees.
GENERAL DESIGN GUIDELINES
Intersection widths shall be minimized to facilitate pedestrian crossings,
through the use of bump-outs, reduced curb return radii or other methods
as determined appropriate by Public Works and Fire Department.
Reduced road widths on rural residential streets (from 36' to 28') may be al-
lowed where parking occurs only on one side.
Dead end streets and Cul-de-sacs are discouraged. Where cul-de-sacs are
used the following guidelines should apply:
• Maintenance accessway or pedestrian connections shall be utilized when
adjacent to open space, trails, and public ROW.
• Cul-de-sacs may have a 42' radius (84' bulb) to face of curb when they
serve streets more than 150' long without street parking on the cul-de-sac
bulb.
• Maximum 25 homes on cul-de-sacs without EVAE. Cul-de-sacs with
greater than 25 units require a secondary EVAE. 75 homes require a sec-
ondary public street access.
A public service easement (PSE) is required behind the street right-of-way.
• The PSE should be graded at 2% to allow placement of utility vaults and
the 2% grade should continue 1' beyond the edge of the PSE.
• The PSE may be graded at steeper than 2% provided that any retaining
walls needed to accommodate utility structures are located at the time of
grading and improvement plan submittal and are implemented in accor-
dance with the design standards included herein.
Utility structures shall be placed underground whenever possible. Above
ground structures shall be allotted enough room to ensure adequate area for
landscape screening.

area vary and should receive unique treatments as outlined below
Where the street edge abuts open space, the street tree pattern becomes
naturalized to celebrate views into open space areas. Where possible the
multi-use trail may meander. Access to the open space is controlled by
a fence which is located away from the roadway and screened with land-
scaping to preserve views.
Where residential development abuts the road, a community theme wall
will be used. The theme wall shall wrap residential development as ap-
propriate to avoid views of rear yard from Fallon Road.

Crossings of the open space corridor create a memorable architectural
statement in the design of a "bridge." It is an opportunity to celebrate
the open space character and reinforce the Mediterranean Agrarian
theme. Open space trees and groundcover should be planted as space
allows to enhance the corridor at the crossing. An ornamental fence and
lights should be designed as architectural elements along the entire span
of the crossing.

RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE
Park Acreage- Provide the same program of neighborhood and com-
munity parks as previously programmed for the Stage 1 PD (PA 02-
030) (5.7 gross acres/1,000 population). Any incremental increase in the
population will require increase in park acreage at the city's standard of
5.0 acres per1,U00 population.
Neighborhood Parks/Squares. Neighborhood parks must be five to sev-
en net usable acres; Neighborhood squares must be two net usable acres
(net as measured from the surrounding property lines/rights of way).
The typical maximum slope that will qualify for the "net acreage" shall
be 2%. Terracing is acceptable, however typically slopes over 2% will
not qualify toward net acreage. Higher gradient slopes may be accept-
able towards qualifying towards net acreage on a case by case basis. A
neighborhood square may be utilized in the steeper portion of the site
and will be counted toward park acreage.
Location of Neighborhood Parks- Should be distributed throughout the
project to serve the neighborhoods equally to the extent feasible. Parks
may be located adjacent to schools but not at the expense of lost acre-
age.
Trails-Trail connections are important, especially along creeks and in
open space as allowed y permitting agencies. May utilize grade separated
crossings to separate trails from arterials.
Pedestrian/Bicycle Circulation- Pedestrian connections include logical
access routes to schools, parks, commercial areas, stream/open space
areas, or other trail connections. Trail connections shall avoid dead ends
or gaps. Major pedestrian/ bicycle trails should minimize street crossings
where feasible by locating trail on the side of the street with the fewer
number of crossings. Consideration shall be given to utilizing grade-
separated crossings of arterials. Trail facilities should be combined with
EVAE's where possible to minimize hardscape and grading
An 8' wide, multi-use, concrete trail is provided on both sides of primary
corridor streets. The trail shall accommodate both pedestrian and bike
traffic. An open space multi-use trail parallels both sides of the riparian
corridor, providing bike and pedestrian connections between residential
neighborhoods and community amenities such as schools, parks, and the
Village Center.
• The multi-use trail shall occur in 30' wide easement that is part of the
400' wide riparian corridor.
• The multi-use trail shall be a minimum of 8' paved, all-weather surface
with 2' gravel shoulders.
• Planting within the trail easement shall be visually consistent with the
riparian corridor.

es and Oaks. Afire buffer will be maintained between areas of devel-
opment and open space in accordance with he City of Dublin Wildlife
Management Plan.
OPEN SPACE CORRIDOR
Minimum 150'/400' average corridor is primarily a grassy Swale. The
existing vegetation in the Swale shall be preserved to greatest extent
possible. Where road crossings or grading activities occur the swale
will be re-vegetated with native plantings consistent with the existing
habitat. The tops of the banks will be landscaped with native trees,
and low drought tolerant shrubs will be planted along the pedestrian
trail. Irrigation in the corridor will be temporary, for establishment
of the plant material.
ENHANCED OPEN SPACE AREAS
In key visual locations such as near roadways, open space areas will
be enhanced with theme plantings such as olive groves, poplar wind
rows, California Pepper groves and other plantings reminiscent of
the Mediterranean landscape.
STREETSCAPE
This unifying thread of the community includes right-of-ways, inter-
section and the public service easement. The streetscape landscape
is comprised of canopy trees along the edge to enclose and shade
the road corridor. Columnar trees and flowery trees may be utilized
in medians and at intersections to provide visual interest. Ground
plane is primary low growing shrubs and groundcovers, the use of
lawns limited to parkways on residential where homes front on to
the road. All plant materials shall be well adapted to climate and
tolerant of recycled water.

tent along the entire length of a street.
• Street trees and landscaping are a large component of the visual
image of a neighborhood.
• The street trees palette shall be selected to reinforce the overall
streetscape hierarchy in a neighborhood, with larger trees selected
for larger, more important streets.
• All streets shall be planted with trees to provide shade and to
soften the visual impact of the street.
• Street trees on collector roads where homes do not face onto the
street should have an average spacing of 30' o. c. On residential
roads where homes face onto the street, provide a minimum of
one (1) tree per standard lot and two (2) per corner lot.
• In the Village Center, street trees should be located in a parkway
with a minimum 5' width or a minimum of 5' by 5' planter area.

• Trees shall be located in parking or Where monolithic walks oc-
cur, alandscape planting and maintenance easement shall be lo-
cated behind the walk.
• Plant material should be selected for appropriateness to setting.
Provide a mixture of evergreen, deciduous and flowering trees to
add visual interest. Select a single tree species for each street to
provide visual continuity. As trees will be irrigated with recycled
water, select trees which are tolerant of reclaimed water. Refer to
the Streetscape section for primary street tree selections.
• Emphasis should be placed on use of Mediterranean associated
plants. Use drought tolerant, deer-resistant plant materials. Select
plants appropriate for selling from `East Bay Municipal Utility
District Plant & Landscape for Summer - Dr.y Climates'. As re-
cycled water will be used for irrigation, use plant materials toler-

88 FALCON VILLAGE DESIGN GUIDELINES
"c~-
The use of monuments, walls, site furniture, ornamental lighting
and signage throughout Fallon Village all contribute to the overall
community ambiance. These thematic elements should reflect the
Mediterranean Agrarian theme and act as unifying elements for the
residential communities and neighborhood commercial area. The
following are general guidelines and graphic examples of elements
which convey the desired theme. An emphasis is placed on the use
of stone, stucco, ornamental iron detailing, tile, and heavy timber to
evoke the Mediterranean character. Unique thematic elements may
be designed for each individual neighborhood, however, street fur-
nishings and lighting shall be consistent throughout Fallon Village.
ENTRY PORTALS AND MONOLITHS
Thematic monoliths are recommended for regional gateways, com-
munity gateways and neighborhood entries. Monoliths should be
used to distinguish Fallon Village from the City of Dublin and
may be combined with city or community signage. The size of the
monoliths should vary according to the significance of the entry
with larger monoliths at the regional and community gateways and
smaller, pedestrian scale designs at neighborhood entries.
Pedestrian entry portals are recommended for both primary and sec-
ondary neighborhood entries and may also be used in other loca-
tions such as within the neighborhood commercial area as appropri-
ate. These portals should be incorporated with the 8' multi-use trail
at key intersections.
COMMUNITY THEME WALLS
This wall is used along the major corridor streets in residential ar-
eas and in additional locations which are highly visible within the
community. Their purpose is to define the edge of the primary
streetscapes and enhance the community character. Primarily used
in residential neighborhoods, the community theme wall may be
adapted for other areas as well.
• The location and configuration of the theme wall must be care-
fully considered with regards to grades and the relationship to the
adjacent street.
• Community Theme Walls should be stucco treatment with orna-
mental cap and compliment the entry portals and monoliths in
both color and design.
• Detailed columns shall be placed at significant locations of di-
rectional change and at the ends of community walls. Other col-
umns may be simple and uncapped.

FENCES
There are several types of fencing recommended for Fallon Village.
In addition to the fencing styles presented in the residential section
of the guidelines, several other types of fences are appropriate for
use within Fallon Village.
Ornamental Fence
• This decorative low fence is used to define & highlight common
areas where neighborhoods interface with open space at cul-de-
sac.
• Ornamental fencing may be used in commercial areas to define
spaces or screen parking lots.
• fence should be approximately 3'-6" tall and have ornamental
metal panels and metal posts.
View Fence
• This fence is used along golf course edge and other locations
where views are possible. It may also used when the elevation
difference between rear yards is greater than 20'.
Open Space Corridor Fence
• This is a continuous fence used to protect open space areas. It is
also used along the Open Space Corridor between trail and habi-
tat area.
• A 3'-6" tall, four-strand, barbed and smooth wire fence on metal
T-posts is recommended.

the public right-of-way. Stucco wall shall be used where retaining
walls are required to address grade change issues on individual lots.
General Guidelines
• Walls visible from Public ROW shall be consistent with community
design standards for retaining walls
• Retaining walls shall be a maximum of four (4) feet tall. Greater
vertical differences may be accommodated at the time of SDR or
finished grading plan submittal on a case-by-case basis.
• Stepped walls shall be separated a minimum of 2' to provide for
landscaping. Stepped walls may be designed with maximum 2:1
