the following finding regarding the Dublin Place North Project:
A. 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

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.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE City of Dublin City Council does hereby make
the following findings and determinations regarding the Site Development Review Permit:
A. The proposal is consistent with the purposes of Dublin Municipal Code Chapter 8.104
of the Zoning Ordinance, with the General Plan, and any applicable Specific Plans and
design guidelines in that: 1) The project is in compliance with the development
standards of the Downtown Dublin Zoning District and Downtown Dublin Specific Plan
(DDSP) and is consistent with the DDSP design guidelines for commercial uses
including compliance with setbacks, height, and materials; and 2) the project is
consistent with the DDSP Retail District and development standards.

Reso. No. 96-24, Item 6.2, Adopted 08/20/2024 Page 3 of 37
B. The proposal is consistent with the provisions of Dublin Municipal Code Title 8, Zoning
in that: 1) the project contributes to orderly, attractive, and harmonious site and
structural development compatible with the intended use, the existing Dublin Place
Shopping Center, and the surrounding properties; 2) the project provides a modern
design and landscaping to complement the area; and 3) the project complies with the
development regulations set forth in the Downtown Dublin Zoning District and
accompanying DDSP.
C. The design of the project is appropriate to the City, the vicinity, surrounding properties,
and the lot in which the project is proposed in that: 1) the design of the proposed
buildings and associated improvements provides for a seamless transition with the
existing development and circulation pattern for the larger Dublin Place Shopping
Center in which is it located; 2) the size and mass of the proposed buildings are
consistent with the requirements of the DDSP, which guides commercial development
in the Retail District and the greater DDSP area; and 3) the project will expand the
commercial opportunities in the DDSP area.
D. The subject site is suitable for the type and intensity of the approved development in
that: 1) the project provides additional commercial development in an existing shopping
center that can support commercial uses; 2) the project is consistent with the Downtown
Dublin Zoning District in which it is located; 3) the project site will be fully served by a
network of infrastructure of public roadways, services, and facilities; and 4) the
proposed building size and configuration would not exceed the allowable building area
or create adverse conditions on-site or for surrounding properties.
E. Impacts to existing slopes and topographic features are addressed in that: 1) the project
site is generally flat; and 2) landscaping along the street frontage and throughout the
project will be complete.
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 in that: 1) the project’s design and landscaping provides a
contemporary-themed commercial opportunity in the DDSP; 2) the proposed building
reflects a similar and compatible architectural style and development pattern of other
commercial buildings within the DDSP; 3) the materials proposed will be high-quality
and long-lasting; and 4) the color and materials proposed are appropriate to the
contemporary architectural design proposed for the project and complementary to other
commercial 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 in that: 1) the landscaping, hardscape, and amenities are designed in the
contemporary style to complement the architecture of the building; and 2) the project is
also required to confirm to the requirements of the City’s Water Efficient Landscape
Ordinance.

H. The site has been adequately designed to ensure the proper circulation for bicyclist,
pedestrians, and automobiles in that: 1) the proposed layout of the parking area has
been reviewed for safety and adequate circulation; and 2) development of this project
will integrate into the existing circulation and development pattern of the larger Dublin
Place Shopping Center.
