Adopt Resolution (Attachment 4) recommending City Council approval of PA-05-042 Dublin Transit Center Site E-l, Metropolitan at Dublin Station, Development Agreement attached as Exhibit A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: In December 2002, the City Council adopted Resolution 216-02 approving a General PlanlEastern Dublin Specific Plan Amendment; Ordinance 21-02 approving a Stage 1 Planned Development Zoning; and, Resolution 02-40 approving Tentative Parcel Map 7892, for the Dublin Transit Center, located generally between the Iron Horse Trail to the west, Dublin Boulevard to the north, Arnold Road to the East, and the Dublin/Pleasanton Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) Station to the south. A Master Development Agreement for the Dublin Transit Center was adopted by Ordinance 5-03 in May 2003 and together with the approved General PlanlEastern Dublin Specific Plan Amendment, Stage 1 Planned Development Zoning, and Vesting Tentative Tract Map established the land use approvals for the future development of the site. The Master Development Agreement was then amended by Ordinance 25- 05 which set forth affordable housing obligations in the project area. The Master Development Agreement provides that the Dublin Transit Center project area includes the development of 1,500 residential units on Sites A, Band C; 2-million square feet of campus office on Sites D and E; and 70,000 square feet of ancillary retail uses to be dispersed among Sites B through E. Open space will be provided by a 12.20 gross acre park, located on Site F and a I-acre Village Green located between Sites Band C. The Transit Center project area also includes 8.65 gross acres of public/semi-public uses including the BART station and related parking and a Pacific Gas & Electric (PG & E) substation. The City granted various land use approvals in connection with the development of the Dublin Transit Center project, including a Planned Development Rezoning and Stage 1 Development Plan (Ordinance 21-02). The Stage 1 Development Plan breaks up Sites D and E into D-l, D-2, E-l and E-2. It provides that Site E-l could contain up to 300,000 square feet of campus office uses and Site D-l could contain up to 190,000 square feet of campus office uses. In the alternative, up to 300 residential units could be approved on these sites. Implementation of this "flex zoning" increases residential unit count of the Transit Center by 300 units to a total of 1,800 residential units and decreases the amount of campus office by 300,000 square feet to a total of 1.7 million square feet of campus office. In April of 2004 EAH, Inc. received approval to develop Site A-2 with 112 affordable apartment units for very-low and low-income households. In January of 2004, D.R. Horton received approval to develop Site B-1 (Elan) with 257 condominiums and townhouses. In January of 2004, Avalon Bay Apartment Communities received approval to develop Site B-2 with 305 apartment units and 15,000 sq. ft. of retail. Construction is currently underway for all three of these projects. The proposed project, Metropolitan at Dublin Station, includes a Stage 2 Planned Development Rezoning, a Vesting Tentative Tract Map, Development Agreement and Site Development Review for the construction of a 300-unit condominium project with approximately 15,000 square feet of ground floor retail along Iron Horse Parkway and Martinelli Way. The approved Stage 1 Planned Development Zoning for Site E-l allows for a maximum of 300 high density residential units and 15,000 square feet of retail to be constructed on the site. 2 of 11 The Master Development Agreement for the Dublin Transit Center (as amended by Ordinance 25-05) provides that a minimum of 15% of the total units constructed on the Dublin Transit Center property shall be inclusionary units; however, this requirement shall not apply if the developer pays the City's affordable housing in-lieu fee for 15% of the total units (300) constructed prior to issuance of the first building permit for a residential unit within Site E-1. PROJECT PERMITTING REQUIREMENTS: This project requires the approval of a Stage 2 Planned Development Rezoning, Vesting Tentative and Final Map, Development Agreement and Site Development Review. The Stage 2 Planned Development Rezoning is an Ordinance which requires a minimum of three Public Hearings. The Planning Commission must hold at least one Public Hearing and the City Council must review the project during two Public Hearings. In accordance with Title 9, Subdivisions, of the Dublin Municipal Code, the Planning Commission can approve, approve with Conditions or deny the Vesting Tentative Tract Map. Once the Planning Commission renders a decision on the Vesting Tentative Map, the City Council will then review the Final Map during a Public Hearing in accordance with Title 9. Section 6 of the Master Development Agreement requires the developer to enter into a new Development Agreement which is specific to the current project prior to issuance of a Building Permit. In accordance with Chapter 8.56, Development Agreement Regulations, of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance, the Planning Commission must review the proposed Development Agreement and make a recommendation to the City Council. In accordance with Section 8.96.020(C)(3) of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance, Staff is recommending that the Planning Commission transfer hearing jurisdiction on the Site Development Review to the City Council because of the magnitude of the project (See Attachment 3). ANALYSIS: Metropolitan at Dublin Station is a high density, transit-oriented development which is located less than one-quarter of a mile from the DublinlPleasanton BART Station. Staff's analysis of the proposed project is provided below. Vestinl! Tentative Tract Map The Applicant is requesting to subdivide the parcel into 300 condominium units, parking, common areas, and retail. Vesting Tentative Tract Map 7667 is bounded by Dublin Boulevard to the north, Martinelli Way to the south, Iron Horse Parkway to the west, and Campus Drive to the east. The proposed Vesting Tentative Tract Map conforms to the City of Dublin General Plan, Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, and Stage 1 Planned Development Zoning (Dublin Transit Center Plan). Staff recommends the Planning Commission approve Vesting Tentative Tract Map 7667 subject to the findings and Conditions of Approval contained in the attached Resolution (Attachment 2). Stal!e 2 Planned Development Rezoninl! A Stage 1 Planned Development Zoning was adopted by the City Council for the Dublin Transit Center in December 2002 and established the permitted, conditionally permitted, and accessory land uses; site areas 3 of 11 and proposed densities; maximum number of residential units and non-residential square footage; and a Master Landscaping Plan. The Transit Center Plan designates the Land Use of Site E-l as Campus Office with up to 300,000 sq. ft. of office and 15,000 sq. ft. of ancillary retail. The Transit Center Plan also further defined this parcel as a flex parcel which could be developed with up to 300 units. The Stage 1 Planned Development Zoning limits properties with a residential land use to a building height of five stories along Dublin Boulevard (the proposed project is four stories above parking). As you move away from Dublin Boulevard, the heights of the buildings are to be increased to emphasize that the Transit Center is a major regional focal point. For comparison, Campus Office buildings are permitted to be a maximum of 8 stories in height adjacent to Dublin Boulevard. The Stage 1 Planned Development Zoning requires 1.5 parking spaces per residential unit, regardless of the size of the units. Chapter 8.76, Off-Street Parking and Loading Regulations, of the Zoning Ordinance was used to determine minimum parking standards for the retail use which varies based on the type of use. The Stage 1 Planned Development Zoning allows street parking to be counted in the number of parking spaces provided. The proposed Project would develop ±4.1 gross acres on Site E-l for the construction of 300 residential condominium units at a density of 73.1 units per acre. The residential units will be divided into two buildings with subterranean and ground floor parking. The project will have 708 parking stalls located within the parking structure and 26 parking spaces on Iron Horse Parkway and Campus Drive for a total of 734 parking spaces. The proposed Stage 2 Rezoning is in compliance with the requirements of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance as a Stage 2 Development Plan has been developed and conforms to the adopted Stage 1 Planned Development Zoning for the Dublin Transit Center. The project is compatible with the land use concept to maximize transit opportunities presented by the adjacent Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station; conforms with the development standards adopted for the Dublin Transit Center; and, contributes to a vibrant, pedestrian friendly environment within less than one-quarter of a mile from the existing BART Station. Development Al!reement A site specific Development Agreement is required by Section 6 of the Master Development Agreement for the Transit Center. The Development Agreement for this project has been developed by the City Attorney and is similar to Agreements which have been developed for the other Transit Center projects. The Development Agreement must be approved by the City Council and is included as Exhibit A to Attachment 4. Site Development Review The following information is a summary of the key components of the project associated with the Site Development Review. Staff's discussion is broken down into nine categories. Site Plan: The Project is bound by Dublin Boulevard to the north, Martinelli Way to the south, Iron Horse Parkway to the west and Campus Drive to the east. Two buildings will be constructed on the property and will be connected with small buildings to screen the view of the parking structure and give the appearance of a continuous building along Iron Horse Parkway and Campus Drive. Parking will be constructed on two levels: subterranean and ground floor. The ground floor parking will be located in the middle of the 4 of 11 residential units on three streets with visible parking along Dublin Boulevard (this area will be screened with landscaping). A total of 300 condominium units and 15,000 sq. ft. of retail space will be constructed. The retail portion of the project will be located beneath residential units in Building Number I along Iron Horse Parkway and Martinelli Way. At the interior of the project, the buildings will wrap around two courtyards which will feature a pool, two spas, walkways and landscaping. In accordance with the provisions of the Dublin Transit Center Plan, Building 2 will be set back a minimum of 10 feet along Dublin Boulevard. The setback of the building will vary along Dublin Boulevard in order to promote visual interest along the street. Dense landscaping will also be planted in this area to mitigate the height of the building. In accordance with the Dublin Transit Center Plan, the buildings will have a zero foot setback to the property line along Iron Horse Parkway and Campus Drive (the building will be setback from the sidewalk). The Dublin Transit Center Plan discourages buildings to be set back from the sidewalk along these streets in order to create a pedestrian friendly environment and encourage use of the street and sidewalks in the area. Floor/Unit Plans: Metropolitan at Dublin Station will have eight different units. The condominiums will vary with respect to size, number of bedrooms, whether or not the unit will have a mezzanine, whether or not the units will be a flat or townhouse, and whether or not the units will have a stoop (See Table 1 below). a e : rea own 0 mts )v rype Unit Type No. of Unit size Units (net SQuare footal!e) 1 Bedroom Flat + Mezzanine 15 1,048 Sq.

T bl 1 B kd fU' b T Typical Floor Plans for the units can be found on Sheets A-16 through A-24 of the attached project plans. All units would be equipped with a washer/dryer. Access to a majority of the units will be from interior conidors. Access to each of the floors can be taken from stairways and elevators which are dispersed throughout the project. Four trash enclosures are located on the lower parking level (see Sheet A-3) and can be accessed by elevator (each enclosure is in close proximity to an elevator). Access and Circulation: Motorists can enter the parking garage on Iron Horse Parkway and Campus Drive. Both entrances allow the motorist to enter into the retail and guest parking portion of the project or into the resident parking. Resident parking is located on the north side of the parking garage. Residents will need to use a remote to open the gate to access resident parking. Parking stalls have also been provided on Iron Horse Parkway and Campus Drive which can be accessed via the street. Pedestrians can enter into the complex from several areas. On Campus Drive, two large sets of stairs have been provided which lead the pedestrian to the Courtyard level of the complex. This area can only be accessed by key and is primarily for residents. From here, a resident can walk to a unit on the Courtyard 5 of 11 level or walk to one of the staircases or elevators. On Martinelli Way, residents can enter into the complex from one stairwell which is accessible via a key. One pedestrian walkway is also located on this side of the street which allows the public to enter into the parking garage (or exit from the parking garage onto the street). On Iron Horse Parkway, several doors are provided which allow a resident or guest to enter into a lobby (which has a stairway and/or elevator) with a key or through the intercom. A pedestrian walkway is also located on this elevation which provides access from the sidewalk to the retail and guest parking area. Two pedestrian access points are also located along Dublin Boulevard which provides key or intercom access. In order to promote the pedestrian viability of the surrounding streets, the design of the building includes many pedestrian features to promote the use of the adjacent streets. Along Dublin Boulevard, a sidewalk and dense landscaping has been provided to make the street a more pedestrian friendly environment. On Iron Horse Parkway, retail shops open to the street and parking is located on the street. Ground Floor units are located on Iron Horse Parkway and Campus Drive to encourage the use of the sidewalk. These units include an entry and a porch which is located 2 feet to 3 feet above the street. On Martinelli Way, ground floor retail and attracti ve landscape elements will promote the use of the street. Parking: A total of 734 parking stalls will be provided in the parking structure or on the street. The Dublin Transit Plan requires 1.5 parking spaces per residential units, regardless of the size of the units. Chapter 8.76, Off-Street Parking and Loading Regulations, of the Zoning Ordinance was used to determine minimum parking standards for the retail use which varies based on the type of use. The Stage 1 Planned Development Zoning allows street parking to be counted in the number of parking spaces provided. The Dublin Transit Center Plan required 1.5 parking spaces per dwelling unit and did not discuss whether or not guest parking was included in that figure. Parking studies were later conducted which recommended that guest parking equal 15% of the total required number of parking stalls in the Transit Center. The Applicant has requested a 25% shared parking credit which would allow the Applicant to combine retail and guest parking on the south side of the parking garage. A total of 44 guest parking stalls will be provided, which is a deficit of 22 stalls due to the shared parking credit. Based on recommendations from the Omni Means Focused Parking Analysis dated November 9, 2005 (see Attachment 8), the provided parking will meet retail and guest parking demands for the property as long as the parking stalls along Iron Horse Parkway and Campus Drive are reserved for short term parking. Based on the parking provided, retail uses will be limited based on the availability of parking. Retail parking requirements are located in Chapter 8.76, Off-Street Parking and Loading Regulations of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance. Parking requirements for Metropolitan at Dublin Station are as follows: Table 2: Retail Parkin Use Eating and Drinking Establishment 1 Furniture/Lar e A liance Store 1 General Retail 1 Re air Sho 1 Banks and Financial Institutions 1 Outdoor Seatin 1 Day Care Center (15+) Medical Office (Health Services/Clinics) 6 of 11 Based on available retail parking, Eating and Drinking Establishments will be limited to no more than 6,000 sq. ft., which includes convenience, sit down, and takeout type restaurants. Outdoor seating may be provided based on the number of available parking spaces. The table below shows the maximum floor area per use. Table 3: Maximum Floor Area per Use and Available Parkin!! Floor Area ReQuired Parkin!! Provided Parkin!! Eating and Drinking 6,000 sq. ft. 60 60 Establishments Retail 9,000 sq. ft. 30* 30 * Assumes General Retail use which requires 1 parking stall per 300 sq. ft. of floor area. The actual number of required parking stalls varies as shown on the table on the previous page. The recommended Conditions of Approval include a Condition (No. 22) which limits the total floor area of eating and drinking establishments to 6,000 sq. ft. and states that all proposed retail will be reviewed with respect to available parking. Additional parking will be provided (in excess of what is shown in Table 3) on the street which will be provided on a limited basis (maximum parking is for a period of two hours) and can be used by guests, residents and retail users. Architecture: The overall architectural style of the project is Mediterranean with modern influences. A total of two buildings will be constructed on the property. The buildings will be connected by two smaller accent buildings which serve to give the appearance of a continuous building along the street and to screen views of the parking structure. Each building will have its own architectural style to promote uniqueness and architectural diversity on the site. While the buildings are not exact replicas of each other, certain architectural elements are replicated on each of the building. Details including roof forms, colors, materials, form, massing, balcony design and window design are similar on each of the buildings. While there are differences in the two designs, the overall designs compliment each other. The two different building designs will promote visual interest along the street and throughout the project. The proposed architecture is compatible with the approved buildings in the Transit Center and buildings in the area. Architectural detailing on the building is reflective of styles that are prevalent in the City of Dublin. The massing and form of the buildings are also compatible with the surrounding buildings. The proposed colors and materials include stucco siding, green tile roofs, stone and earth tones and are compatible with the design of the building as well as the adjacent building (Avalon Bay is currently under construction). A rendering showing the relationship of the proposed project to the approved projects on Dublin Boulevard will be shown during the Planning Commission meeting for comparison. Building Number 1 will be constructed along Martinelli Way, Iron Horse Parkway and Campus Drive and will have a total of 145 dwelling units plus ground floor retail. This building is 65 feet in height above grade and has six stories of residential units above ground floor retail (along Martinelli Way and Iron Horse Parkway) for a total of 7 stories (the Stage 1 Planned Development Zoning allows buildings to increase in height as they move away from Dublin Boulevard). On the Campus Drive elevation, there are seven floors of residential units. The retail area includes the extensive use of glass, attractive signage and awnings which promote visual interest along the street. Building Number 2 will front Dublin Boulevard, Iron Horse Parkway and Campus Drive. This building will have 155 dwelling units and is 50 feet in height above grade. The building will be five stories of residential units (the ground floor along Dublin Boulevard will be parking). 7 of 11 Balconies are located on each of the elevations in the project. Access from ground floor units to the street has been provided on Campus Drive and Iron Horse Parkway to promote use of the surrounding streets. Each building has a varying form and massing to form a more interesting shape. Several portions of the building are set back from each other in order to create shadow lines and give the impression of a varied setback along the street. To promote visual interest on the building, two stucco colors will be used on the building in addition to stone material. The stone material can be found on the base of the building in addition to the tower elements. The variety in colors and materials gives the building a more vibrant appearance and is more attractive to motorists and pedestrians. The use of stone can be found in several areas on the building, but is limited to prevent the material from overwhelming the architectural style of the building. Other important architectural features include windows, stoop access units, trim bands, pitched and flat roofs, varying roof heights and tower elements. Each building has several towers which help to break up the massing of the buildings and provide an attractive feature for the property. Each of the two buildings are centered around a courtyard which features attractive plantings and walkways. Courtyard A has a pool and spa and Courtyard B has a spa which can be used by all residents. Both courtyards will connect for easy access to each side of the property. Parking is on a subterranean and ground floor level with the buildings located around most of the parking structure. The ground floor level will be located beneath the courtyards and will only be visible along Dublin Boulevard. Perspective 1 has been included in your project plans, which illustrates the design of this area. The opening will be covered with patterned metal and a portion of the area will also be screened from view by a landscape berm and plant materials. The site layout and architectural design of this project will be consistent with the urban lifestyle and character of mixed uses planned for the Dublin Transit Center. The detailing of the retail storefronts, townhouse stoops, and urban landscape will accentuate enhanced pedestrian circulation and scale of this area. Attention has been paid to the massing of the building to reflect the image depicted in conceptual sketches found in the Stage 1 Development Plan. Landscaping: The landscape plan reinforces the urban design intent by creating a pedestrian oriented perimeter with generous sidewalks; street tree planting, and enhanced paving patterns at key elements. On the corner of Dublin Boulevard and Iron Horse Parkway, the corner has been designed to include an opportunity for public art with attractive landscape materials. In order to soften the height of the building and promote visual interest along Dublin Boulevard, large shrubs, trees and colorful plants will be provided. These plants include redwood trees, camellias, India Hawthorn, ferns and other materials. The landscape materials increase in size and height from the sidewalk to the building. By providing plant materials which will be tall and are densely planted, the height of the building will be softened by giving the appearance that the plant materials are similar in height to the building. Additionally, the variety of plant materials including size, shape and color will give motorists and pedestrians along Dublin Boulevard an attractive view. The landscape materials and planting pattern will also compliment the massing and design of the building. The variety of plant materials and a landscape berm will also screen the ground floor of the building along Dublin Boulevard where the ground floor portion of the parking structure is visible. The Section on Sheet L4 of the project plans provides a sketch of the proposed landscaping along Dublin Boulevard. The proposed plant material along Dublin Boulevard is also compatible with landscape materials in the area. The Dublin Transit Center Plan requires a double row of trees in a specific pattern along the four streets which surround the project. The required street trees are the Loquat, Strawberry and London Plane trees. 8 of 11 The proposed planting pattern shown Sheet Ll of the project plans shows that the proposed Landscape Plan will conform to the requirements of the Dublin Transit Center Plan. Accent planting will be located at the entrance to the parking garage off of Iron Horse Parkway. The planting will include small plants as well as accent trees in addition to the accent paving. The courtyard will also feature attractive plant materials. The materials will be a mix trees, shrubs, accent shrubs and groundcover. Sound Attenuation: A mitigation measure contained in the Environmental Impact Report for the Dublin Transit Center requires site specific acoustic reports to be prepared by qualified acoustical consultants. Proposed Condition of Approval No. 18 requires an acoustic report to be submitted prior to issuance of a Building Permit. The report must include detailed identification of noise exposure levels on the individual project site and a listing of specific measures to reduce both interior and exterior noise levels to normally acceptable levels including but not limited to glazing and ventilation systems, construction of noise baniers and use of buildings to shield noise. Should any of the balconies along Dublin Boulevard need to be modified, Staff will review the proposed changes for consistency with the approved design. Typically, normal residential construction with upgraded windows can adequately attenuate vehicular noise for the interior structures. Affordability: The Master Development Agreement for the Dublin Transit Center (as amended by Ordinance 25-05) provides that a minimum of 15% of the total units constructed on the Dublin Transit Center property shall be inclusionary units; however, this requirement shall not apply if the developer pays the City's affordable housing in-lieu fee for 15% of the total units (300) constructed prior to issuance of the first building permit for a residential unit within Site E-l. Condition of Approval No. 25 has been included in the recommended conditions which further enforces this requirement. Environmental Review: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, Staff has recommended that the project be found exempt from CEQA pursuant to Government Code section 65457 which exempts residential projects that are consistent with a specific plan from further environmental review. Additionally, the Project is within the scope of the Final Environmental Impact Report for the Dublin Transit Center General Plan Amendment, Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Amendment, Stage 1 Planned Development Zoning, Tentative Parcel Map, and Development Agreement (SCH 2001120395) which was certified by City Council Resolution No. 215-02 dated November 19, 2002. This recommendation is based on a determination that there are no supplemental impacts that would require preparation of a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report. Noticing: In accordance with State law, a public notice was mailed to all property owners and occupants within 300 feet of the property to notify property owners and occupants of the proposed project and of the December 13,2005 Public Hearing. The public notice was also published in the Valley Times and posted at several locations throughout the City. CONCLUSION: 9 of 11 This application has been reviewed by applicable City departments and agencies and their comments have been incorporated into the Project and the proposed Conditions of Approval. The proposed Project is consistent with the Dublin General Plan, Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, and the Stage 1 Planned Development Zoning for the Dublin Transit Center and is compatible with the surrounding properties, similar improvements in the area, and the project site.
