TO:Planning Commission
SUBJECT:Dublin Place North (PLPA-2023-00018)
Prepared by: Amy Million, Principal Planner
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Applicant, Hines, proposes to demolish two existing commercial buildings totaling 28,800
square feet and construct a 33,125 square foot multi-tenant commercial building and associated
site improvements within the Dublin Place Shopping Center. The Planning Commission will
consider a Site Development Review Permit and a finding that the proposed project is covered by
the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report and no further environmental
review is required.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Conduct the public hearing and adopt a Resolution approving a Site Development Review Permit
for the demolition of two commercial buildings and construction of a 33,000 square foot
commercial building and associated site improvements for the Dublin Place North project.
DESCRIPTION:
Background
On November 5, 2019, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 115-19 approving the Downtown
Dublin Preferred Vision (Preferred Vision) which focuses the first phases of implementation on
the Dublin Place shopping center. As part of the implementation of the Preferred Vision, staff has
been working in tandem with the property owner of the Dublin Place shopping center and their
development partners, Hines. The Dublin Place shopping center is located on the west side of
Amador Plaza Road between Dublin Boulevard and Amador Valley Boulevard and includes
businesses such as Target, PetSmart, Burlington, Bassett Furniture.
The Dublin Place North project site is located at southwest corner of Amador Valley Boulevard and
Amador Plaza Road within the Dublin Place Shopping Center as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1. Project Location
The parcel boundaries in the shopping center are irregularly shaped; therefore, the project site
occupies at least a portion of three parcels as shown in Table 1.

The project site is located within the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan and has a General Plan land
use designation of Downtown Dublin – Retail District which allows for a range of residential and
commercial.
Proposed Project
The Applicant is requesting a Site Development Review Permit to demolish the two existing
commercial buildings onsite totaling 28,800 square feet and construct a 33,125 square foot multi-
9

tenant building. The anticipated tenants are existing tenants of the Dublin Place shopping center
that will be relocating to the new building including PetSmart,Panera, Chipotle, BMO Bank and
Yafa. The project also includes site improvements, including an updated parking field with
stormwater treatment, removing the northern driveway to Amador Plaza Road, shifting the
project site’s southern driveway to Amador Plaza Road to align with the new drive aisle and
enhancements to the drive aisle leading to the intersection of Amador Valley Boulevard and
Donohue Drive.
Analysis
The Zoning Ordinance requires a Site Development Review Permit for the demolition and
construction of principal structures. Approval of a Site Development Review Permit is subject to
findings related to compliance with General Plan policies, impacts to general safety and welfare,
site layout, impacts to views, impacts to topography, architectural considerations and landscape
considerations.
Site Layout
The proposed site layout would orient the building so that the front entrance for each business
faces the new parking area and Amador Plaza Road leaving the west side or rear of the building to
house the loading and waste disposal areas. This layout necessitates the removal of the northern
driveway off Amador Plaza Road (labeled as Driveway 3 in Figure 2). Primary customer access to
the project site is from a new right in/right out driveway off Amador Valley Boulevard (labeled as
Driveway 2) and a driveway off Amador Plaza Road (labeled as Driveway 4).Access to the loading
area and waste enclosures would be separated from the customer access points and be from a
new right in/right out driveway off Amador Valley Boulevard (labeled as Driveway 1).
Figure 2. Site Access
As part of a larger shopping center, the project is also accessible by traveling through the parking
lot from several entries off Amador Valley Boulevard, Amador Plaza Road and Dublin Boulevard.
Existing Proposed

Architecture
The architectural concept for the development is clean and contemporary. The project offers a
variety of contemporary building materials such as stone, wood, metal, architectural concrete and
stucco. As shown in Figure 3 below, the single-story building forms are horizontally oriented with
varying roof lines that create a unique design statement for this shopping center while blending
well with the surrounding development. The building form is highlighted with the addition of a
metal open trellis canopy along the store front and storefront systems with simple, black-framed
windows, doors.
Figure 3. Illustrative Rendering
The architectural vision for the Retail District as outlined in the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan
states that new buildings “will complement the existing uses with designs that are compatible
with adjacent structures and the district as a whole.” In addition, buildings shall use high-quality
materials while utilizing creative and unique designs. The project’s architectural design and
material palette is consistent with this vision.
A color and material palette has been provided that illustrates the variety of colors and textures
for the buildings (Attachment 2, Sheets A2.01 and A2.02of the Project Plans).
Landscaping
The landscape palette and layout have been designed to be consistent with the Downtown Dublin
Specific Plan by utilizing hardscape treatments, amenities and plant materials that complement
the building’s architecture and future uses. Areas of outdoor dining bufferedby planter areas
stretch along the building’s front and side façade. A small dog run is proposed along the south side
of the building for the customers of PetSmart. The overall landscape concept is on Sheet L2.00 of
the Project Plans (Attachment 2).
A preliminary tree survey was conducted for the project area which identified 77 trees with their
species and size. None of the trees are Heritage Trees as defined by DMC 5.60 and all of the trees
11
Page 5 of 6
will be removed as part of this project. The preliminary landscape plan includes a conceptual plant
pallet with a variety of landscaping to be planted, including 66 trees in 36” and 48” boxes as well
as a mix of 5- and 15-gallon shrubs and 5-gallon groundcover plants. New landscape areas are
proposed with a variety of drought tolerant plants suitable for low maintenance and water
conserving efforts.
Stormwater treatment facilities located in the parking lot and in various locations around the
building are proposed to collect and treat on-site runoff.
Parking
In January 2024, the City amended the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan (DDSP) to eliminate
parking requirements in the Downtown in response to recent changes in State law and the
recommendation of the Urban Land Institute Technical Assistance Panel. As a result, the proposed
project is not required to provide off-street parking; however, developments may elect to provide
parking. The DDSP discourages excessive surface parking and requires certain measures if the
amount of parking provided exceeds the minimum standard established by the Zoning Ordinance
by 10 percent. As shown in Table 2, the proposed project exceeds the minimum standard for
parking based on the anticipated land uses; however, the exceedance is by less than 10 percent, so
no additional measures are required.

Public Art Compliance
The applicant intends to satisfy the City’s public art requirement through the payment of in-lieu
fees. Condition of Approval No.17 confirms this intention.
CONSISTENCY WITH THE GENERAL PLAN, SPECIFIC PLAN AND ZONING
ORDINANCE:
The project is designated Downtown Dublin - Retail District in the General Plan, located in the
Downtown Dublin Specific Plan area and the Downtown Dublin Zoning District - Retail District.
The Downtown Dublin Specific Plan identifies both a base FAR of .35 that is allowed outright and a
maximum FAR of 2.0 for this location. If a property owner would like to develop a project beyond
the base FAR, they may obtain additional square footage up to the maximum FAR by drawing on
12
Page 6 of 6
the Development Pool. The proposed FAR for the project is .19 which is less than that base FAR
and therefore does not require allocation from the development pool. The proposed uses are
permitted within the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan Retail District. The project is consistent with
Development Regulations for this zoning district as described in Downtown Dublin Specific Plan
and Dublin Municipal Code. The proposed building size and configuration would not exceed the
allowable building area or create adverse conditions on-site or for surrounding properties and
would enhance the existing shopping center. The proposed project is consistent with the vision for
the Retail District.
REVIEW BY APPLICABLE DEPARTMENT AND AGENCIES:
The Building & Safety Division, Fire Prevention Bureau, Public Works Department, and Dublin San
Ramon Services District have reviewed the project and provided Conditions of Approval (included
in Attachment 1) where appropriate to ensure that the project is in compliance with all local
ordinances and regulations.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
The project is located within the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan area, which was the subject of an
Environmental Impact Report (EIR), State Clearinghouse number 20100022005. The Downtown
Dublin Specific Plan Final EIR was certified by City Council Resolution No. 08-11 dated February 1,
2011. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines section
15168(c)(2), the proposed project was examined to determine if another environmental
document should be prepared. The proposed project is the redevelopment of an existing
commercial property in the Retail-District and is within the development potential identified and
examined in the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan EIR. There is no substantial evidence in the
record that any new effects would occur, that any new mitigation measures would be required, or
that any of the conditions triggering supplemental environmental review under CEQA Guidelines
section 15162 exists.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
In accordance with State law, a Public Notice was mailed to all property owners and occupants
within 300 feet of the proposed project. The Public Notice was also published in the East Bay
Times and posted at several locations throughout the City. A copy of this Staff Report was provided
to the Applicant and posted to the City’s website.
